Portuguese Restaurants near Calhandriz, PT

“A little pearl in the middle of the village where both the quality of the food and the service are exceptional!
Our favorite restaurant in the municipality of Vila Franca de Xira.
You will have to reserve seats well in advance as it is always busy, especially on weekends.“

“I hadn't been to the regional winery for many years and I was very happy to be back there. The lady who served us was very friendly, the starters and food were wonderful and the house wine was drunk very well. The desserts were good and the price paid was nothing more than that. I recommend it for a family visit or with a group of friends.“

“Restaurant with very tasty food, from starters (with history) to desserts, very friendly and attentive staff, but what stood out most was the attention the team paid to the details in our service. Cozy space, very complete wine list. We will come back and recommend.“

“Good service, the outdoor area has a nice view on the river, and the food was fresh and overall very good.
Not the same typical Portuguese food you would expect: The menu has enough variety of fish and meat dishes that you wouldn't normally find elsewhere. There are a few vegetarian options as well.“

“Magnificent and welcoming establishment, very well located!Chef Xavier introduced us to different local specialties which were excellent, we are happy to have discussed the region and its dishes with a French Chef. The team was great with us“

“Restaurant with simple food, well made with good ingredients, homemade desserts. The owner is very friendly and very dynamic both in the kitchen and at the table. When I met it, I was captivated, whenever I'm nearby working I make a point of having lunch there. I recommend.“

“Good beneficial x price ratio. Good food and "honest" service. The inside room, where I ate, is a normal place that didn't generate any special memories for me, but remember that there are tables outside where you can have a view of the citadel and, perhaps, a more pleasant experience.“

“I went with my in-laws and my 3 children. D. Margarida (I think that was her name) and the young boy who served us were very friendly and was always attentive to ask if everything was to our liking. The food was delicious, we ate stew, Mirandesa steak and bitoque for the kids. Everything delicious and very well served. The desserts were also homemade and delicious. We will go back“

“Starting with the environment, as it is the only negative point for me. I have nothing to say about the decor, which I thought was incredible, but I feel like the place is too stuffy. There is a lack of better air circulation in the place, at least that's what I felt. I think the chairs could be more reliable and comfortable, as I found them to be fragile and hard for a long dinner.

As for the food, the garlic bread is one of the best I've ever eaten. The pizza is very filling and the dough is light, it serves the person who eats very well and is so delicious that it would be difficult for you not to eat two.

The staff is very efficient, constantly pays attention to customers and is always willing to help, kind and polite.“

“In an surprising place on the national Loures road with a very humble facade, you find very tasty traditional food with good sized servings at fair prices. The service is naturally friendly and the real treat is the wine list with extraordinary wines at rare excellent prices! You can feel the 40 years of restaurant history in all ways, and the twist of quality and presentation due to the homecoming of a second generation son. We were lucky to have smiling Patricia caring for us while we enjoyed fried squid, arroz de robalo, bitoques, mousse of dark chocolate, baba, creme brulee, coffees, water and the most extraordinary 2022 Phenomena rosé by Quanta Terra Duriense, all together for only €115 for 3.“

“We stopped for a drink here, was slightly more expensive than other places we stopped but it is on a sunny corner where the cruise ships dock! The toilet is tiny with no seat, but clean. I encountered a few toilets like this on our visit!!! The snacks inside did actually look lovely.“

“De kamers hier zijn erg schoon en je kunt gebruik maken van alle faciliteiten. Buiten hebben ze een zwembad en terras. Elke kamer heeft een aparte badkamer en toilet. Er is airconditioning en tv in kamers, extra toilet papier, en handdoeken. Voor de rest deel je de keuken met anderen. Je kunt er zelf koken als je wilt, de keuken is uitgerust met een magnetron, keramische kookplaat en oven. Koelkast/ijskast. Broodrooster, warm/koud water en een waterkoker. Al met al goede kamers

Helaas kreeg ik geen antwoord op mijn vraag via sms noch via bellen. Ik heb geen eigenaar gezien behalve 2 x de schoonmakers. Eerste dag was een vriendelijke vrouw en de tweede dag was een onvriendelijke jongeman.

Rooms: Kamers zijn uitgerust met tv, airco's en badkamers

Safety: Alle deuren hebben een slot waardoor je je lekker veilig voelt. Mensen zijn erg aardig en relaxed. Gebruik de vertaler op je telefoon want sommige spreken alleen Potugees

Walkability: Het is gelegen in een mooi dorp

Food & drinks: Wij kopen en koken alles zelf. Soms gaan we naar een restaurant“

“It was recommended to us in a Facebook group and highly recommended. We were received warmly and the entire service was very pleasant. The food is homemade and the portions are very well served. When we return to Santa Iria we will certainly return to Refúgio Campestre.“

“I really liked this restaurant. I arrived at the door and was greeted with a big smile, I entered in the same good mood, the employees are incredibly friendly. The menu has a lot of dishes, it's difficult to choose but with the help of the man who was serving us and some friends, I chose some samosas for starters, a prawn curry and a chicken sixty five. All dishes were very good. For dessert we ordered an Algarve pie which was magnificent. The prices are fair and not expensive. I will be happy to go back there.

Parking: There is a private paid parking lot right below the restaurant.“

“(Translated by Google) Family and welcoming atmosphere. Quality food, with that "grandmother's" touch.A classic and important pillar of the history and restoration of Bobadela.(Original)Ambiente familiar e acolhedor. Comida de qualidade, com aquele toque se como fora "d'avó".Um clássico e importante pilar da história e restauração da Bobadela.“

“Fabulous location with view of the river. Charming restaurant, wonderful service, delicious food and Portuguese rosé. We enjoyed the chèvre with fig jam, grilled octopus with potatoes and a gorgeous bottle of Caiado local rosé wine. Highly recommend this spot! Obrigada!!!“

“I placed an order for savory and sweet treats for this Christmas and I couldn't be happier!! The snacks arrived at my house still warm, freshly fried! ?On time delivery and good packaging! I recommend it with the guarantee that I will definitely return ?“

“Are you looking for an eastern cuisine restaurant in Lisbon? So far, it's the best place I've found, with personalized service and homemade food, which completely transported me to an environment that feels and tastes like home. ❤️“

“If you are looking for a tourist-free place, you have come to the right place. Simple but tasty local cuisine. A bit of a wait which can be a way of enjoying a moment of peace and the excellent olives. I had the cod which was good. The bill is acceptable (20€ for beer and cod). Staff a bit at a loss, I think because of the language, but effective enough. Stars also in view of the fact that there are no great alternatives in the area“

“(Translated by Google) Spectacular environment equal service and food from meat to fresh fish that ends with completely affordable prices I really liked it and recommend it(Original)Ambiente espetacular serviço igual e comida desde carne a peixe fresco que termina com preços completamente acessíveis gostei muito e recomendo“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Simply the best pizzeria in the region! Pizzeria O Boss never disappoints. The pizzas are always delicious, with perfect dough and fresh toppings. The atmosphere is welcoming and the service is exceptional, always with a smile on your face. Furthermore, deliveries are fast and the pizzas always arrive hot. There's no mistake, it's the ideal place for a great meal!“

“Dona Fernanda is a spectacular host, she welcomed us with great kindness and friendliness, despite the late hour at which we arrived! We tried the cuttlefish which were delicious, congratulations and thank you very much! We'll be back soon!“

“(Translated by Google) Very good food, good price and takes little time to get to the table, parking 100m away.There are a lot of people at lunchtime and it gets too noisy, you can hardly have a conversation.You must reserve a table.(Original)Comida muito boa, bom preço e demora pouco a chegar a mesa, parque de estacionamento a 100m.Existe muita gente na hora de almoço e fica demasiado barulho, não se consegue quase conversar.Deve reservar mesa.“

“We went for dinner and really enjoyed the atmosphere. We ordered the special francesinha but I found the sauce very salty, which made it difficult for me to enjoy the meal. Not just the sauce, but the potatoes and francesinha in general. They didn't have the homemade Ginger, Lime and Mint Ice Tea which was also a shame. The service was smooth and quite quick.“

“I go to Reticências frequently and have never been less satisfied with any dish. When it comes via Uber Eats, the taste is equally wonderful, which shows the quality of the dishes.
I can't choose a favorite dish but the oxtail with purée and the octopus are definitely among my favorites! The chocolate mousse is one of the best I've ever tasted!
The environment is welcoming, both for families and groups.
The people are incredible, available and friendly.
I highlight the creativity required to create daily dishes (for lunch) without repeating them from week to week, never losing quality and flavor. The way the food is prepared, cooked and presented always leaves me wanting to come back again.
Congratulations ❣️“

“Locale tipico portoghese, un po' rustico ma tranquillo e pulito, qualche difficoltà di parcheggio ma nelle vicinanze si può parcheggiare gratuitamente senza problemi. Ottima la cucina e il servizio, personale molto gentile e sempre sorridente. Se volete mangiare cucina tipica portoghese questo è il locale giusto. Prezzi Onesti per la qualità del cibo.“

“I really liked the food, very tasty, well presented and in great quantity. I also liked the decoration of the restaurant. For starters, I loved the cornbread, exceptionally good. What stood out was the service; initially we were served by an employee quickly and efficiently, but without the slightest smile, it seemed like he was there... because he had to be, however halfway through the meal things got complicated, he disappeared and the service became time-consuming and difficult to obtain, in addition, I began to notice selectivity in the service. Despite this less pleasant part, I think I'll try it again, as I really liked the food.“

“Welcoming staff and amazing service! Everyone was very nice and understanding!Food was top and inexpensive! Beans and rice is full of flavour as well as everything else that was ordered! They did not have iced latte but the server made due and tried her best (the coffee was delicious as well)Did not disappoint! ❤️ Will come again and highly recommend!
Update: We grabbed a Bolt and our driver said that the area is a bit sketchy. So please be careful around the area!

Kid-friendliness: Kids running around“

“(Translated by Google) Very good experience, friendly and attentive staff. The quality of the dishes is very good and at a good price. Strongly recommend. Good space that was missing the area.(Original)Experiência muito boa, staff simpático e sempre cuidadoso. Qualidade dos pratos muito boa e a bons preços. Recomendo vivamente. Bom espaço que fazia falta a zona.“

“For now, I'm not giving 5 * on everything, as I've only visited O Boss, here in Póvoa de Santa Iria twice, and the one in Pirescoxe, I've lost count of it, and I'm still analyzing and seeing the differences.
But I think you're on the right track, just keep going ????“

“A family home that welcomes us like family.Ricardo (host), welcomed us with a welcome to this humble home. Dona Isabel, Madam, your mother made a cod stew upon request, which was very appetizing, the taste of mother's food. Very very good.Congratulations Ricardo for the friendly house and the way you welcomed us and said goodbye.As much as I can write, I can't convey how much I want to go back...See you soon…Big hug and best wishes for a New Year with many successes.“

“Fantastic food that caters for all tastes and budgets. The service is top class. Very friendly without being over the top. This questionnaire asks about the speed of service as if fast is better but I’d rather say that the speed is just right. You have time to enjoy your meal without being rushed.“

“Highly recommended restaurant.

The Amazing Amazing Amazing if i could give 10 stars i would

service is really good as well as the food. Its exactly how you find in India and probably tastier than that. The person who took the order, Ravi was really nice and taking care of us like a friend. He made sure everything was taken care of and the customers are feeling good.
Thank you so much for any amazing afternoon

Food was authentic and extremly great value“

“We were very well received and the food was delicious. The cod with mashed potatoes was excellent and the picanha was delicious. The portions were very generous and we all left satisfied. Also worth mentioning is the dessert, with the camel baba and the pudding, which were very good! ?️??“

“D. Mônica is unparalleledly friendly, she has covered the history of the restaurant and the area, always available to help with any queries, the decor is divine, no detail is forgotten. Super tasty homemade food, nothing to write home about, will definitely repeat.
A good thing“

“Restaurant for working people. It's not for snobs and weird people. Good food and although we didn't eat the steaks, the ones we saw being passed around to other tables looked excellent. Servings €8, draft wine €1. We paid €38.10 / 3 people. 3 doses, 0.5l wine, water, bread and olives, 2 desserts and 3 coffees. Coming back!“

“(Translated by Google) A restaurant without pretensions, but with good food.The space is very simple, the food is a dish of the day and little else, but for €7.5 a menu with a dish, drink, coffee and soup or dessert, you can't ask for more. The person who served us was very friendly, they served us in no time and the food was good. An excellent restaurant for everyday food.(Original)Um restaurante sem pretensões, mas com boa comida.O espaço é muito simples, a comida é prato do dia e pouco mais, mas por 7.5€ menu com prato, bebida, café e sopa ou sobremesa, não podemos pedir mais. Quem nos atendeu foi muito simpática, serviram num instante e a comida estava boa. Um excelente restaurante para a comida do dia a dia.“

“Casal Minhoto is an excellent option for a quality meal in the good Portuguese way. In addition to being one of the few restaurants in Póvoa de Santa Iria, it is a restaurant full of quality.
The last time we were there it was full and they gave us a 40 minute wait and accepted our name on the list. They handed us the menu and we were able to place our order before sitting down.
We ordered cockles, with toasted bread and garlic butter on the side, which was great, and fried turbot with greens rice.
The turbot came to the point of frying and seasoning. The rice is super naughty. The waiter served all three of us, which made a great difference to the service.
We had difficulty finishing the turbot that says in the menu it was for 2 people, but it served and there were leftovers for the three of us.
We didn't order desserts this time so I can't comment.
The friendliness of all the employees keeps us coming back.
Anyone who visits will certainly be well served.

Vegetarian options: I saw vegetarian options like fish from the garden.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp at the door that is somewhat inclined but not very long.“

“Restaurant that brings the flavors of Alentejo here to the Loures area, we always have starters on the table with olive oil, bread, cheese, chorizo. Good dishes with good portions. The side dishes are varied, but of course the highlight goes to the migas, which are very tasty. Prices in line with the doses and are not exaggerated prices. Recommended. It has a parking lot. I liked one detail, the tables have a small extension so the dishes can stay there without taking up the table space.“

“I don't even know what to say, the shad wake is excellent, the same goes for the stew, the cheesecake and even the white and red wine. And best of all, Miguel who welcomes and serves us. It is a small space, for example, for wheelchairs or a “

“We've been wanting to go to this restaurant for lunch for a long time, much talked about for its generous portions, especially the cod and ribs. We opted for the cod and it didn't disappoint, for those who eat well, the portion is enough for 3 people, for those who eat like this, it's enough for 4. Good on the palate and not at all salty, but, for the price of the portion you pay, it should come accompanied with some vegetables and for the dish to be really top-notch, they should serve mashed potatoes instead of boiled ones. If you want vegetables, everything is separate, which makes the meal even more expensive. The desserts we chose, although not transcendental, were good. As for the atmosphere, we went on a weekday and, interestingly enough, what we were expecting, it wasn't too noisy. On weekends, we don't know.

Overall, we will be back, this time to try the ribs.“

“Savel week in v.f
Xira. 2nd year that I visit this restaurant for Savel. 2 years with billing errors. Appropriate correction was requested. They partially corrected it only later at home I noticed that there was still an over billing issue. The price of the savel with the bread seemed to me to be somewhat exaggerated (28.50).“

“It's a medium sized bar. Friendly staff and atmosphere. Always offering a mixture of nuts, and always cleaning tables.It's a medium-sized bar. The staff are very friendly and so is the atmosphere. They always offer a mix of nuts. And they are always cleaning the tables.“

“The "most zen spot" in Vila Franca de Xira, truly inspiring. The tranquility of the place, combined with the stunning view over the Tagus River, provides a unique experience of peace and serenity. It is the perfect place to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse yourself in moments of reflection and appreciation of nature. The atmosphere is full of good energy and the natural beauty of the place is unparalleled. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a haven of calm and inspiration.“

“Daily restaurant, so good food for the type of restaurant it is.
Plenty of variety, both for lunch and dinner.
Well served and quality and fast service.
Very friendly and helpful staff.
All-inclusive menu.“

“Had lunch at this lovely little restaurant tucked away just behind the main street. We had the anchovies which were the best we've ever had, and the Octopus rice which was fantastic. So reasonably priced. It's number 1 on TripAdvisor for a reason.“
