Best Restaurants
“Homemade and abundant Portuguese food. One of those restaurants that if you like typical, unpretentious and honest places, you have to save. Located in an alley, it is an old house and adapted as a restaurant. They attended us even though they were about to close and of course, with a smile and wonderful kindness. There were dishes that were already sold out by the hour but we ordered soup, 3 types of grilled fish with their accompaniments and rice with beans and grilled chops that were simply perfect. The half portions are enough for more than one. We didn't get to the desserts but if we return to Coimbra we will definitely repeat. We have left our small works of art there as souvenirs and hope to see them again. ?”
“Awesome dinner! We loved the atmosphere, the cordiality of the staff and the traditional food. The dishes were abundant and the fish was very fresh. Main course, dessert and drinks for less than 30€!!!”
“We were eating; all very rich.
Typical food from Portuguese cuisine but with a modern touch, very appropriate.
Croquettes.
Rice with cod.
Octopus.
A kind of very delicious tocinillo de cielo.
High quality raw material.
Good wines.
The super attentive waiter.”
“It has been a magnificent experience, their dishes have taken us to the same ?? of Trastevere. Highly recommended!! His magnificent attention to all employees. Gabriela the owner is charming. We will be back!!!. Don't get lost!!!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Typical and very friendly restaurant. The staff speaks English and the menu is in English and French as well. The food is very tasty there. Their local cake is killer!”
“Good food with good diversity (no exaggeration, perfect number of dishes) that captures the essence well. Impeccable service, I made a reservation last time and it was the only restaurant in the area that was quick to serve us. I recommend and come back”
“There are 2 national sandwiches in Portugal the Francesinha and Bifana (pulled pork) Sandwich.
Francesinha Sandwich ...ham, steak filet, chorizo, smoked sausage, cheese, toasted bread, sweet red pepper\tomato garlic sauce ?
If you want the best Francesinha in Coimbra then come here. Our guide and BNB host both recommended this place, Café Atenas.
The best Francesinha we've had. Great value and really good expression of a Portuguese classic!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Been here two times and it is the best vegan ice cream I’ve ever had. Soooo many and not only sorbet-like flavors. Some of them very unique. LOVED the toasted coconut, have not been able to find it anywhere else. Staff was also friendly and let you try lots of different flavours before deciding. The only ”bad” thing was that having a vegan cone cost more, 0,5€ I think.”
“Simply spectacular. You can see that the ingredients are natural and the texture is achieved to the maximum. We tried two sorbets, bergamot with sugar and orange, lime and rosemary and I can only say that the combinations are original, surprising and awaken the senses. Attentive and perfect service, offering help with any question. An ice cream parlor that does not leave you indifferent. It's listed in our favorites! Thank you for your good work!”
“I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. The food is excellent, with delicious and well prepared dishes. Portions are generous, ensuring that no one leaves hungry. Furthermore, the prices are very affordable, offering an excellent quality/price ratio. I recommend!”
“(Translated by Google) Excellent bakery and confectionery items. Cozy environment. It has possibilities to improve in everything.(Original)Excelentes artigos de padaria e doçaria. Ambiente acolhedor. Tem possibilidades de melhorar em tudo.”
“Restaurant near the river. Don't be fooled by the exterior under construction, it's worth it. Delicious food, very well priced. We ordered cheese and garlic nan, chicken tikamasala and tofu with almond and mint sauce. It has a section of vegetarian dishes. Without a doubt, we were delighted.”
“Super thin dough and nice tomato sauce with fresh toppings and a wide selection of italian beers. Despite being cleary specialized in take away / delivery the space is comfortable and enough. Recommended!”
“This truly was an amazing gastronomical experience. Had been told about this place and it certainly did not disappoint.
I believe the quality of the food is high compared to the prices charged and its certainly enough food. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu, including the wines”

“The best place to enjoy good food and the best live music in all of Coimbra and part of Portugal. The waiter is very friendly, and has no problem speaking Portuguese, Spanish or English...and surely some other language. The menu is simple but the food is very good at a reasonable price. The best without a doubt, the live music. We have been twice and on one occasion we have enjoyed a fadista and a Portuguese guitar guitarist, and a very excellent concert by Luis Travassos (@luistravassos.oficial), a magical voice and way of singing that turned the evening into something spectacular.
Kid-friendliness: Children can dine without problem and enjoy the atmosphere and music.”

Outdoor Dining
“This bar is excellent. The view of the river is spectacular and the atmosphere was very peaceful. I highly enjoyed my experience at the establishment. Manu was a great server who did a great job explaining the menu and catering to my groups needs. I recommend this bar to anyone looking for a great place to drink and hangout while they are staying or visiting Coimbra.”
“Service begins at 12:45 p.m.
Very friendly staff, excellent cuisine with very good value for money.
If there is room (not many tables unfortunately) don't hesitate for a second.
Kid-friendliness: Small portion on request
Wheelchair accessibility: Full-length outdoor terrace”

“We had dinner at this excellent restaurant where we ate excellent quality grilled fish. The environment is very picturesque and peaceful: the restaurant is located in a central square near the church, it immerses you in the typical Portuguese atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the prices were great.”
“BEST AWARD WINNING HIDDEN PIZZA PLACE IN COIMBRA SO FAR. The interior is really nice and the pizza was great ? High quality taste and texture and nice experience overall. Looking forward to enjoying it next time too.”
“Came in before rush hour for dinner so it was quiet. Had one of the beef options - it was big and with a lot of food, great for those who are hungry. Workers there are very friendly and do an amazing job. The place itself is amazing. The music is great and the atmosphere is different and warm. Has a very rock feel to it which I really enjoyed.”
“I went to this restaurant on a recommendation, and I have to say it was a very pleasant surprise. The first restaurant which was 5 stars in all parameters (food, service and atmosphere). The food is very tasty and well prepared, perfect. The staff is really friendly and the atmosphere is wonderful, very pleasant to eat.
I will definitely be back and I recommend everyone to go there once, it's really phenomenal.”
“This is the sort of place who makes life exciting. The food is fresh and cooked to perfection. These are simple dishes but beautifully executed. The portions are just right so no wastage which is important as well. The location is simple on a street but comfortable to enjoy this great place. The staff are friendly which add to the experience. Just go for it.”
“It's not just another one, in this "Buffet" restaurant where it's not the first time I've been to and I've been to a few, I was very satisfied with the service, the waiting time (0), the friendliness of the staff and the quality and variety The food is better than anywhere else I've been!
Congratulations and keep up the good work!
My only note is that I hope ROBOT doesn't take anyone's job...”
“Excellent option for breakfast. The attention is very friendly and prices are very reasonable. Everything delicious, especially the nutty bowls. Highly recommended.”
Online Reservation Available
“Restaurant Bar with a very tasty sliced meat steak, a side of fries and arugula salad, but also some excellent broken eggs, or risottos. The moules require a thicker sauce.
I recommend the red fruit sangria.
The desserts are a delicious ‘must have’. I recommend the apple crumble and the pistachio mousse.”
“A very delicious burger, at the level of other burgers that other chains sell for double the price. We loved it. However, we had a bit of a bad time being there, they didn't have air conditioning with 37 degrees outside, and it took them a long time to prepare the order despite being the only customers at that time.”
“Fresh pizza is very good, especially the BBQ one, this is WONDERFUL, 5 stars without a doubt!!!PS: The place is very calm.
Kid-friendliness: Birthday parties and children's menus.”
“The best dinner of our entire trip to Portugal! Exquisite, fresh, plentiful and tasty food at a very honest price (I would have gladly paid more), friendly, kind and non-invasive waiters, a place with great attention to detail, clean, a relaxing, welcoming and classy atmosphere, truly SUPER!! Go there, we highly recommend it!
The best dinner ever during our trip to Portugal!! The food is delicious, fresh and tasty and the price is really good (even too low). The place inside is beautiful, so elegant and warm and the waiters are very nice... all considered is SUPER!! We recommend it!”
“We went to Honorato on a recommendation and taking advantage of the promotion of a certain platform.
The restaurant is very clean, the service is fast, efficient, assertive and friendly.
This restaurant is essentially dedicated to Burgers and there is no shortage of options: there is everything.
The burgers are served on a plate, accompanied by sauce and fries (without salt - at least the ones they brought us). It can be eaten by hand or with cutlery.
Highlights include the drinks and cocktail menu with and without alcohol. From lemonades to interesting fruit mixes and the like, there is plenty of choice here.
Waiting times are very short, or at least that was the case on the day we went.
Clean toilets and parking in the area are easy to find.
However, I would like to highlight two important personal issues:
The price of hamburgers, without the platform promotion that I mentioned at the beginning of this review, is simply disconcerting and disproportionate. They are good, quality burgers, but let's not exaggerate: 16 euros for a burger? Okay, there are premium meats and even picanha, but the value is outside the “normal”
The second issue, and the one that led me to not give a 5-star rating, which left me perplexed and, for a brief moment, took me "metaphysically" to the USA, was the fact that I was questioned, when presenting the account , if you wanted to pay the bill WITH or WITHOUT gratuity. WHAT DO YOU MEAN WITH OR WITHOUT GRATIIFICATION?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? But paying 50 euros for 3 people to eat burgers wasn't enough? Was it a bad joke? And who does the “gratification” go to and who defines how much the bonus is worth, the client or the house? We are losing our temper... this is Portugal, it is not a Nordic country nor the United States. If they need bonuses, how about paying employees better, as this is the idea, in my opinion, that employees are so poorly paid that they need a bonus.”

“I feel here that the "barkeep" helps with the best company, be it a wine to accompany the delicacies, or a drink to enjoy in the evening - White or Fresh Gin.”

24 Hour Restaurants
“(Translated by Google) As it is a place that has no one working 24 hours a day and they only clean periodically as well as replenish stocks, I would say that the people who visit it should be more careful, since when they get something dirty, it probably remains uncleaned for several hours and leaves bad impression of the space to other customers.(Original)Por ser um sitio que não tem ninguém a trabalhar 24h e apenas fazem limpeza periodicamente bem como a reposição de stocks, diria que as pessoas que o frequentam deviam ter mais cuidado, já que quando sujam algo, provavelmente fica por limpar durante bastantes horas e deixa má impressão do espaço aos outros clientes.”
“Charming restaurant where you are warmly welcomed and quickly served.
Everything is delicious from starters to main courses (special mention for the mushrooms, croquettes and ham focaccia), a must try!!”
“Came in before rush hour for dinner so it was quiet. Had one of the beef options - it was big and with a lot of food, great for those who are hungry.

Takeout Restaurants
“Fuimos recomendados y fue todo un acierto. No es el típico lugar para turistas, sino más bien para los locales. Una cantina portuguesa con comida casera muy buena y precios económicos. El dueño nos recomendó la Chanfaina (cabrito al vino) y estaba muy buena. Comimos además Cordon Bleu y Bacalao Asado. Todos los platos abundantes y con guarnición.”
“It has good products, all with good presentation, a pleasant, calm environment....but the service is terrible, employees are not attentive, they often stay chatting and customers are left waiting to be served. Another observation: employees should wear caps or hair nets to prevent their hair from flying around.
Kid-friendliness: As there is a good variety of cakes and sweets, it is certainly a suitable place for children.”
“Excellent, good service, everything was delicious, the only thing that in my opinion could improve is that instead of steps, there could be a ramp, to include everyone, not just wheelchairs, but it would also benefit mothers with strollers and the elderly. It has an atmosphere outside, but cold days are better indoors”

“We had dinner and had an experience of 10, the staff was super friendly and attentive, the food was all delicious and very good price. Highly recommended, if we return to Coimbra we will repeat.”
“Coming from an Asian and Chinese food lover; having lived in other cities in Portugal including Lisbon and Porto; traveled to corners of this planet, such as Kuala Lumpur and its famous street of Chinese restaurants called Jalan Alor: I can say with some assurance that this is one of the best Chinese restaurants in the country and even proves otherwise the best for me.
All the dishes are divine, but the big highlights for me are the crepes and the chicken with almonds. Simply delicious and will make you cry for more
I recommend all Chinese food lovers to try it, you will definitely be well served.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“(Translated by Google) Excellent service and the food was incredible, with a lot of spice and flavor of Portugal.(Original)Atendimento excelente e a comida estava incrível, com bastante tempero e sabor de Portugal.”
“I went on Sunday for lunch. The food was spectacular and the service from everyone was excellent. More especially the attendant Breno. He was friendly and attentive. We ate roasted fish which was divine. We will be back.”
Cheap Eats
“Without a doubt, the best burger we ate in Coimbra! Delicious, dry potatoes and the mayonnaise is great too. They always have a variety of burger options and the service is excellent, very friendly. Repeating!
Kid-friendliness: All burgers can be ordered in the reduced version.”
“(Translated by Google) This cafe has several bakery and pastry options and has a terrace, is well located and the service is friendly, but I found the service a bit expensive for a normal cafe. €1.70 for a tin ice tea, €1.10 for mini sagres and €1.40 for bread with chorizo, which makes a total value of €4.20.(Original)Este café contém várias opções de padaria e pastelaria e tem esplanada, está bem localizado e o atendimento é simpático, mas achei algo caro o serviço para um café normal. 1,70€ um ice tea de lata, 1,10€ uma mini sagres e um 1,40€ um pão com chouriço, o que faz o valor de 4,20€ no total.”
“I recently visited [Kebab Shop Name], and I must say it was an outstanding culinary experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The aroma of grilled meat and spices filled the air, immediately whetting my appetite.The menu at [Kebab Shop Name] offers a wide variety of options for all tastes and dietary preferences. Whether you're a meat lover or a vegetarian, there's something for everyone. I opted for the classic beef kebab with all the fixings, and it did not disappoint.”
“Location already mentioned previously, however the visit was “forced” by Gastropiço’s suggestion.
A picturesque space reminiscent of the true concept of a tavern in Coimbra.
The steaks are fantastic, accompanied by a good finio, they are even better. Anyone who thinks that chicken toasties don't also have a place on the podium is wrong, they are 10/10 (the best I've ever eaten).
Better than all this? Eating in the company of Mr. Borges. These houses are not created solely for what is presented on the plate, but for the atmosphere and Borges is a champion at maintaining a good conversation.”
“(Translated by Google) Bakery with a cozy atmosphere, friendly and very friendly staff, in fact it makes all the difference. Good quality bread, tasty pizzas. With parking at the door.(Original)Padaria de ambiente acolhedor, staff simpático e muito afável, de facto faz toda a diferença. Pao de boa qualidade, pizzas saborosas. Com estacionamento a porta.”
“We wanted to surprise my parents, and we ended up surprised too.
The chanfana was delicious, the bread was dessert and of course the service.
Congratulations on everything!
Parking: It was on a Sunday, there was parking on the street next to the tavern and on the street in front”
“Restaurant Bar with a very tasty sliced meat steak, a side of fries and arugula salad, but also some excellent broken eggs, or risottos. The moules require a thicker sauce.

The desserts are a delicious ‘must have’. I recommend the apple crumble and the pistachio mousse.”
“Well, I went to this seafood restaurant in Coimbra to eat roast lamb with a recently arrived Brazilian. He even went cross-eyed ?.
Food**** From the seafood rice to the lamb, nothing to complain about. Some starters/seafood starters, could be better
Service**** Senior and professional, some exaggerated times
Atmosphere*** Pure seafood atmosphere, in a dissonant environment with little value. Difficult parking.
Value** Pays well, eats well, the bill could be lighter.”

“Been here two times and it is the best vegan ice cream I’ve ever had. Soooo many and not only sorbet-like flavors. Some of them very unique. LOVED the toasted coconut, have not been able to find it anywhere else. Staff was also friendly and let you try lots of different flavours before deciding. The only ”bad” thing was that having a vegan cone cost more, 0,5€ I think.”
“Simply spectacular. You can see that the ingredients are natural and the texture is achieved to the maximum.

“Food 5*, all very good
Açai of the best.
Very reasonable prices.
The wait staff sometimes just waste time, we place the order and it always seems like they're a bit sick. Apart from the last service that Mrs. It was even nice. The downside is the lack of friendliness and speed in placing orders.
But otherwise I recommend it ❤️”

“What a shame that in such a calm and beautiful environment someone responsible for the space appears and is shouting, calling the attention of the employees with swear words for the customers to hear.
What a bad appearance and lack of professionalism. What a lack of education towards the employees. Placing employees in front of customers like this is very bad.
It's happening now, August 8th, 12:15 pm”
