“There are two vegetarian options: chef's salad and fish from the garden. There could be other options without animal protein.

“A hidden place in Fátima but very welcoming. The food is wonderful, we are warmly welcomed by everyone who works in the restaurant. I've been there a few times but this time the sirloin Wellington was really divine, as was the cream. I advise!“

“We returned to this beautiful place after two years, bringing some friends with us. We remembered having an excellent Mirandesa steak, and ordered it again this time. Unfortunately it was nothing like the meat we had already enjoyed, this time it was rather tasteless. My friend, a butcher by trade, made some very precise observations on the quality and type of cut, conclusion... we made a fool of ourselves. I'm sorry because the service and general quality of the food are quite good, and we were willing to pay a little more for a special meat, but this time we weren't satisfied.“

“Very good, very welcoming restaurant with fantastic food as well as the service from those who work there. Thank you very much for everyone's kindness.

Parking: Parking at the restaurant itself.

Kid-friendliness: With child seats

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible entrance for people with mobility difficulties and wheelchairs.“

“Three meals were offered and we chose a traditional Portuguese meal of duck with sides and the pulled chicken with sides. Both were excellent with great flavor and portions. The owner / server was very attentive & welcoming and shared information about Tomar. The atmosphere was quaint and friendly.“

“Those places worth going to?
Here!
With time and patience (the host cooks, sets the tables, serves food and drinks, is the accountant and also regales us with stories surrounding his dishes and always with a friendly smile!)
Small, eclectic place with well-prepared, tasty and homemade food!“

“Stupendous restaurant! Everything 5 stars: great food, charming atmosphere, friendly, attentive and cheerful service. We loved it... The starters (sausages, ham, cheeses...) were divine, among the dishes we chose, especially the monkfish rice, it was phenomenal. A beautiful restaurant!“

“Although we stayed on the terrace, in some heat, the experience was very good. Tasty food and attentive staff, it's a place to visit again.

Vegetarian options: Variety of vegetarian options. The chosen dish, tofu, was adequate in quality and presentation.“

“An amazing restaurant with the best ever ribeye steak- and a fabulous Camembert starter too. We arrived on a very wet Thursday in the first week of January so not much was open and our hearts were sinking. The extra research to find this restaurant was worth it and we highly recommended it. As good as the restaurant in Porto we celebrated my hubby’s 60th birthday and much cheaper!“

“We had lunch reservations and our food was served in a timely manner. Everything was excellent and all four of us we're happy with our service and food. I like it when I ask for water or salt or anything extra and it actually shows up, we didn't ask to ask for anything a second time. I ordered a Sangria pitcher and it was great. I drank it all by myself and I usually don't drink a lot of alcohol. LOL! At the end of the meal I got a coffee and it was brought out with extra steamed milk which was a wonderful surprise. The restaurant is very cute inside, and there is exterior seating. After eating we took a walk through the beautiful park across the street. It has a lot of water and was very tranquil with a beautiful water wheel in action.

Parking: Beware of street parking, we couldn't find the paid parking ticket machine. So, we thought there were no fees as I didn't see paid parking tickets in any other car windows. Unfortunately there was a ticket on our window from the police when we came back to our car it cost 30 Euros. For those who are driving rental cars if you are ticketed you can pay it at the police station in Tomar, otherwise it's attached to the license. Station pay department is only open until 4 and it seems no one is there on Friday. It turns out we just missed the parking lot, oops, and ended up parking elsewhere by mistake. We will be going to the restaurant again because it was a wonderful experience and understand where to park, so no fault but our own. The machine to pay parking wasn't so far away, I guess we just weren't looking hard enough. I was hungry ..“

“SPEECHLESS. DONA EMERALDA IS A LOVELY PEOPLE AND A BEAUTIFUL PROFESSIONAL. WE ARRIVED AFTER LUNCH TIME, HOWEVER, SHE MADE A THING TO MAKE MEAL ON TIME. EVERYTHING WONDERFUL. FANTASTIC SARDINES, WONDERFUL PORK. ALL ACCOMPANIED WITH A GENEROUS DISH OF PUNCHED POTATOES. A PLACE OF LOVE AND COMPETENCE. YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY WITH SIMPLICITY. TAKE A SWEEP THERE.“

“Well-prepared meals, very good meat, too bad it only comes with a side of fries, for the price you should also bring some migas and a salad. Desserts are very good. It has a wide variety of wines. The decor of an old tavern is very welcoming.“

“What a wonderful evening. Food was fabulous, I had ribs and husband had the salt cod. Such a personal experience, can tell its a family run affair. One of our best meals in Portugal. Wine was superb, service great and chef entertained us after dinner at the piano! When in Tomar you must stop here.“

“In an out-of-the-way area, 8 minutes walk from the campervan area. Simple cuisine and family atmosphere. We cannot give an overall opinion because we each had a Francesinha (forget your knowledge of dietetics!). Extremely kind owner, shaded terrace, calm.“

“A nice Italian restaurant in Tomar. Beautiful terrace. Food is good .Great Italian cuisine but unfortunately service is very very slow . Around 40min..wait before starters arrived and even longer wait before we had our main courses. This should have been easily resolved if they had 1 or two more waiters. They seem to only have 2 waiters even when the place was quite busy. Service was not only slow but confused. Otherwise it could be a very good restaurant. We were unfortunately disappointed.“

“Cozy and modern space. The outdoor patio is very pleasant for a meal, whether for lunch or dinner.
Different and tasty starters.
We ordered Belpaço and Lagartos steak with fava bean puree, however the cod dish also seemed quite interesting. We didn't order desserts.
The price was a little higher than we expected.
It's worth trying.“

“Canadian family of six just had the best meal here. My father and I both had the Piri-Piri Chicken and I have to say it was the best meal we have had on our 3 week tour or Portugal. Best chicken we have ever had anywhere. You have to try this dish. My mother, wife and daughters all enjoyed their meals as well. The service was great as well. We will go back here for sure.“

“Fui ao o Lagar pela primeira vez Agosto 3 na planeado foi uma decisão do momento resolvemos restaurante perto de casa. Adorei a comida deliciosa o service bom muito limpo e um preço bem razoável. Única coisa que gostaria de ver era terem entradas pedimos queijo fresco ou qualquer entradas enquanto se esperava pela comida. Não tinham. De resto 5 estrelas. Recomendo. ?“

“One of the good restaurants in Tomar today. It has a very nice letter; from the secret dishes to the mirandesa steak and a fish cataplana, everything is very well prepared. Very kind staff. Good atmosphere. There are 2 very comfortable rooms and there is also a small terrace for warm nights. All homemade sweets. It is located on Rua dos Arcos in the heart of the historic center. I recommend.“

“In a search for places where it would be recommended to have lunch, we found Chico Elias... and what a good surprise. Right from the phone call made to the reservation, Mr. Franscisco's friendliness and care stood out. The menu suggestion and attention to detail predicted a good reception. And so it was. The attention to service was constant. The cod with meat, a delicious surprise, as well as the lean stewed pork served with cabbage, a comfort. The slices of Tomar sweetened the end of the meal but not without the warm comfort of a traditional grandmother's coffee... a journey back to calmer times when enjoying a coffee on a rainy day. I recommend it and will come back whenever I'm in the area! A little treat!“

“The interior of the restaurant, the details, are all incredibly beautiful. Good food. The lady who served us was super friendly. We were a large group, even with warning, the truth is that we arrived well after hours, due to the delay of a football tournament for our children, and yet, we were well received and the food was very well prepared.“

“We kwamen er onderweg naar een ander restaurant langs. Onze nieuwsgierigheid won het en daarin werden we beloond met een heerlijke maaltijd, fijne wijn en een goed gesprek met de gepassioneerde zoon van de eigenaar. Heerlijke gegrilde octopus en malse filet au jus (rundvlees). De zaak lijkt binnen wel een wijnwinkel en heeft buiten een knus terras. Deze familie mag trots zijn op hun zaak!“

“We ate here recently and were very impressed by both the food and the service. The restaurant has excellent views of the Nabão river and Tomar old town. The menu is varied, it’s typically Portuguese food but with a slight up market twist. We had a really enjoyable evening. The only downside we’ve found is that it seems impossible to reach the restaurant on the phone and as it gets very busy making a booking is often vital to get a table. But would definitely recommend.“

“This restaurant was recommended to us by our tour guide while we were visiting the convent and let me tell you it did not disappoint. The food here is exceptional. I ordered the wild boar and my husband got the squid. While the squid was great the wild boar was out of this world. The stew and meat were all so flavorful and delicious we almost argued over the last bites. The restaurant itself was also quite charming and our waitress was both kind and attentive. We really enjoyed our lunch here and would recommend it to anyone visiting the area!“

“Simple fresh and good sums up this restaurant. To the right is the bar and behind door No. 2 is the restaurant side. A causal atmosphere that turns out really good seafood. We enjoyed the Mariscada platter for 2 but it actually fed 5 of us with plenty to spare. The shrimp, lobster, and crab pate were all on point. They served the table “pressurized” wine. Not kidding, it translates to English that way. Which was really good and appropriate for the dish served. The wait staff was attentive and courteous. If you’re in the area and looking for a good meal served in a non stuffy atmosphere (and yes they do have air conditioning) then give this place a try. You will quite simply, not be disappointed.“

“Family atmosphere, simple but pleasant to be in.
Friendly and attentive service.
Very homemade food, well seasoned.

Parking: In front of the restaurant there are many free spaces.

Kid-friendliness: It has a highchair, which is already a great help.“

“One out of two options of restaurants that close at 23:00 after visiting and staying and praying in the Chapel of Apparitions and Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, I would definitely make this my first choice if I had to choose all over again.

Tourists keep in mind it is European service where you seat yourself and the waiter comes to you ready to take your order unless you ask for a menu. The menu comes in either Portuguese or English.

Our waiter Antonio was on top of his job by making sure all our dishes were served hot and fresh as they slowly made their way onto the table. In Europe, this is normal where the dishes are served immediately after preparing one by one instead of all together at once which keeps the freshness of the dish.

My dad ordered a steak on the medium rare side while me and my mom ordered soup of the day which was fish butternut squash soup. The meats are priced by kilogram, but a normal portion or one order is around 300 grams, which is about 1/3 the size of the kilogram for those who are not familiar with European menus.

The salad we ordered had a vinegar dressing which to us is extremely delicious! The soup and salad were out of this world. I also ordered a side of French fries which were served thinly sliced and freshly made, never frozen. TO DIE FOR.

Oh! And also the cappuccino I ordered was so cute the way it was presented with cinnamon and frothed so elegantly in the traditional European cup, saucer, mixing spoon, and sugar on the side.

All in all, give this place a visit! They’re open late and also have the Euro Futbol game on like when we went for the Portugal vs. Slovenia match!

Indoor seating with elegant service, food, and presentation! Prices are reasonable too!

Dietary restrictions: Order is placed for only meat with the sides separately charged depending what you want. Great for those on a ketogenic or carnivore diet.“

“Very good food, the francesinha is very worth it and also the fish of the day. The starters are provided by default like in any food place in Portugal, if you don't want them they will be removed and there is no charge, they are no problem. Very delicious desserts. They treated us very well. Very good option to eat before visiting the sanctuary.“
