European Restaurants near Muge, PT

“I don't eat meat and as I went with friends who do, I had to ask them to please see an alternative. I ate a peasant without meat and with an egg as a substitute. I liked the quality of the sandwich and their willingness to think of an alternative. I understand that the concept is meat and that is how they gained notoriety, but having a vegetarian option will always be an added value.

Congratulations on the project! Even though it is located in a place (Muge) where there is nothing else on offer, not even nearby, the place is always full and sometimes there is a queue.“

“We purposely traveled to Santarém to go Ó Balcão. And what a gastronomic journey. Using local products (and valuing them) is an added value. From the snaks (all), starter (creamy crab), main course (gratin and cheeks) and desserts (old-fashioned coffee and not everything is lemon) everything was good! Congratulations on the atmosphere, service, friendliness and, of course, the meal!“

“When you arrive, don't be surprised to wait, go with time and good will. A restaurant, with well-prepared home-cooked food, don't expect excellent service, expect the service that you can kindly get because the house is always full and there are just two of them for so many people. Good food, wine by the jug or a good wine list. Anyone who likes to eat can eat right here.“

“Tasko da Adega in Fazendas de Almeirim was recommended to us as having creative cuisine that was different from the usual cuisine found in restaurants in a location like this. Opened at the end of 2021, within a traditional style, it hired chef Goncalo Reguinga at the end of 2023 and in a joint effort (with chef João Poeiras) they are introducing some new features to the menu, particularly in the starters.Nice room within the traditional register. Sturdy but not very comfortable tables and chairs.Hardworking, friendly, efficient, and very familiar service.The charter has been subject to a recent change. Concern about using local products, and with zero waste. The main highlight is the starters, some of which are quite innovative and justify our several visits. Most starters have unit prices which makes ordering easier.Our preferencesVegetable pani-puri €3.5 totally out of the boxCod sandwich €4, all the ingredients are normal but the end result is surprising.Oxtail tartlet €4.75 a sweet “torricado”Cinnamon flour with honey €8Fish from the garden €7 “real” green beans in a very crunchy pome. Fabulous and no creativity here, just product and technique.Stuffed mushrooms €9.5. Some of the entries are a 9 from our perspective.The dishes include a piece of sausage (2 people €38.5) and razor clam rice (2 people €26). Respect for regular customers “limits” the creative freedom of the kitchen, remaining traditional. Understandable, but here we are at 6 or 7. One of our solutions is to opt for more starters and skip the dish.Desserts include a seasonal fruit tartlet (strawberries with lemon caviar from Jardim do Sardao) €4.5 and a French toast €5.25. We are leaving the traditional register again.There is a desire for change and innovation and from what we understand it is being well accepted by regular customers. For us too.Wine list poor but also changing (in the coming weeks). Adequate prices for weak glasses.

Vegetarian options: You have to ask

Parking: It's easy to park at the door“

“Best place for a brunch in Santarem
We ordered sweet potato pancake and the Cafe de Manhã and you can see all the dishes on the photo - didn't expect to have such a huge meal and of such a good quality! Everything was perfect and we got a very warm and friendly service
Highly recommend“

“I had heard about Ode due to their amazing Japanese tapas food but did not expect everything else that came with the experience.After a guided tour delivered by one of the wonderful friendly staff we were blown away. This isn’t your ordinary winery, it’s built for a movie. With endless wows and mouths open the tour was amazing.Following this we sat down for the wine tasting and delicious food. I can honestly say it was the best Japanese tapas we have all ever had and the wines were delicious, especially the red and the Semillon.Visiting Ode was the highlight of our time in Portugal after living here for 3 years“

“The food, grilled secretions, came with extra pepper. Unnecessary.The employees do what they can and are very friendly.Having to eat on the terrace in the cold is not pleasant and just because I didn't have much else to do, I accepted. As you can see, the fact that they had a reservation for 2.30pm made it impossible to eat in the room. At 2:40 pm when I left the restaurant, there was still no one from that reservation. Strange....Payment with a piece of paper left on the table is no longer used. Having to pay at the counter is also outdated and I waited almost 15 minutes to pay.Wondering if I'll stop again...“

“We arrived as the restaurant was opening for dinner and the waitress was so nice to us even though she was finishing her snack before the restaurant opened. We had the frango which was absolutely delicious. We will be back to break up our drive to Algarve.“

“A very popular joint with the locals, there were about 10 to 12 people dining at 6pm. Good size portions, nice robust house wine and friendly service. Maybe we were really early, but they fast tracked our dishes as we had to catch a bus...a well done steak and fish fingers... and boy the steak was good...

Kid-friendliness: They have 2 to 3 options for the kids“

“(Translated by Google) We have been going to this space since the beginning. Always excellent service, spectacular dishes, especially the chicken à Vaz and alheira de Mirandela. The cheeses and bread are always very good and the red sangria is always a must try.I will continue, whenever possible, to enjoy these wonderful lunches(Original)Desde o início que frequentamos este espaço.Atendimento sempre de excelência,os pratos espetaculares,em especial o frango á Vaz e a alheira de Mirandela.Os queijinhos e o pão sempre muito bons e a sangria tinta é sempre de experimentar.Vou continuar,sempre que possível ,a degustar estes almoços maravilhosos“

“On a day when the restaurants we usually go to were closed for holidays, we found this restaurant in a corner of a street in Cartaxo.We had to wait a little because it was full, but we chose the menu, and the gentleman was very friendly. The atmosphere is great and the food was a good surprise. Individual portions well served and very tasty. I liked it and will definitely come back.“

“Perhaps the best wild bull rib I've ever eaten.
We actually didn't go directly to the restaurant. We passed through Raposa after having passed through Almeirim and having decided that the area must have something more to offer than stone soup, and so we went further. In Raposa we went to the S. Antonio fair with some stalls. As we are more fans of good homemade food and snacks than of the sophistication of the "decorated" dish that sometimes has little flavor, we let ourselves be led by instinct and off we went.
The surprise happened because Mr. António (no, it wasn't S. António ?) recommended some beautiful fighting bull ribs, medium rare. He came first to show the delicacy that had an extraordinary appearance. Delicious, based on previous experiences I expected somewhat tough meat, nothing like that. Very well prepared, with very simple presentation but a salad with a divine flavor.
Next time I'm in the area I want to try what they say is one of the best francesinhas in the country, completely outside its traditional geographical area.
I'm sorry, I only took a photo of the starters, we covered the whole rib and in the end it didn't look good.
The good surprise also came with the bill. Very reasonable price considering the quality of the main dish.
Thank you Mr. Antonio, we will recommend you to friends.“

“The food was great, the grilled dishes were fantastic as were the side dishes.
The staff was super attentive and friendly, always available to help.
Super comfortable and lively environment

Vegetarian options: They are very flexible when it comes to individual dietary restrictions, replacing meat with eggs, for example.

“From the food to the service, the great house red wine and in the end the amount to pay... I just don't give it 6⭐️ because it won't let me. We were a work team of 4 people doing 700kms and still 100 miles to go to our destination. We stopped by chance here at 9:45 pm as everything else was closed. We asked if it was still possible to have dinner and we were given excellent service. I highly recommend“

“Mega ??? I haven't had such good burgers ? in a long time ? the kitchen is open so you can even watch it being prepared. The price-performance ratio is more than fair.
The store looks rather inconspicuous from the outside, so we almost didn't go in. But really great! ??“

“We are a French family who don't speak Portuguese and despite that we had a really great time.

The waiter was very very nice and thanks to him we managed to eat very well.

The portions are very generous, we didn't finish everything but shared with what we had left in the dishes.

Obrigado ?“

“Our dinner at Machado was one of the best, most memorable parts of our 1.5 weeks in Portugal! They brought out so much food, a big jug of wine, sangria, apps, and many different kinds of bread!!!! The pork was delicious. The staff was amazing in an irreverent way, and we loved every part of this whole experience! The apple crumble dessert was particularly phenomenal! And the price was extremely reasonable! We would travel back to Porto, Portugal just to go to this restaurant again! It was that good!“

“We just ate 4 people. Homemade food, attentive in explaining what each dish included, friendly. Good service and special mention to Claudia's sweetness and attention. Highly recommended

Dietary restrictions: We asked for a gluten-free option.“

“As I am a carnivore I had one of the meat dishes, and really enjoyed it, but I think the lovers of fish will really have a feast here!!! Everybody who entered asked if there were sardines, so they must be delicious ? Don't miss this place if you are in the neighbourhood!!! Thank you so much to all the people who run this place, you are doing a great job!!!“

“Fui pela primeira vez a este restaurante e gostei bastante. O arroz de marisco estava delicioso. As amêijoas à bulhão pato estavam muito boas.O restaurante é pequeno, mas tem uma boa acústica que permite conversar sem incomodar os restantes clientes.“

“I found out about it through a birthday lunch and I really enjoyed both the gastronomic offer and the service/Staff.Everything seemed great to me, however, as for what I tried, I can give my opinion… octopus ? à lagareiro and prawn soup ?! Both excellent. For dessert we opted for the mint lime pie, also undoubtedly a great option. It is a restaurant, let's say simple/rustic, but with a very familiar/friendly service. I recommend!“

“(Translated by Google) It was on a Sunday. From Fátima to the Algarve. My friend and I stopped for lunch. We were treated with care and attention. We didn't even notice the shop window, but it has true wonders. With lots of red fruits that I love! And farofias ???????? it's already very rare to see around. Thank you so much ???? and we will be back ????(Original)Foi de passagem a um domingo. De Fátima para o Algarve. Eu e a minha amiga paramos para almoçar. Fomos atendidas com carinho e atenção. Nem reparamos na montra, mas tem verdadeiras maravilhas. Com muitos frutos vermelhos que eu adoro! E farófias ???????? já muito raro se vê por aí. Muito obrigado ???? e vamos voltar ????“

“(Translated by Google) Ample parking space.Pleasant outdoor garden space with porch.Pleasant interior space, fresh and clean.Staff available and friendly.(Original)Espaço de estacionamento amplo.Espaço exterior de jardim agradável com alpendre.Espaço interior agradável, fresco e asseado.Funcionários disponíveis e afáveis.“

“(Translated by Google) Very good to taste some snacks. The variety is not much but very good: octopus salad, roe salad, shrimp, for example. And of course the famous snails at the time(Original)Muito bom para degustar uns petiscos. A variedade não é muita mas muito bons: salada de polvo, salada de ovas, camarao, por exemplo. E claro os famosos caracois na época

Parking: Normalmente consegue-se estacionar na rua por perto.“

“(Translated by Google) The best seafood in Almeirim and surroundings! Always well received, always well served. Highly recommend.(Original)O melhor marisco de Almeirim e arredores! Sempre bem recebidos, sempre bem servidos. Recomendo muito.“

“I visited the space when I was passing through Santarém!Pleasant space, well decorated and with a cozy atmosphere. I noticed that there were people much older than me and quite young people in the space, which makes the space a place for all ages.I ordered a slice of spinach cake and a coffee - what a delight!I was well attended by the employee who was very friendly.Well located and with plenty of parking at the door.“

“I didn't spend the night but I thought the food was good, the scenery was very good, the staff were very polite, but when I was eating I noticed an animal that looked like a cockroach, which brought the rating down a little.
I thought this goat was very creative“

“We ate very well, the portions were generous, the children could share a portion and they would be fine, the suckling pig was delicious and the sauce and rice for the kids were excellent. I recommend the red fruit sangria. I want to highlight the employee Carlos who was very friendly and professional from the beginning to the end. I will definitely return.“

“We came for a walk around these parts and decided to try this restaurant. It was spectacular, from the service to the quality of the dishes and the speed of service.
The stone soup is just divine, the loin meat is super tender and for dessert I recommend the apple cascade.

Spectacular, I highly recommend it.“

“Grelha is a family-run space with great care and attention to the customer. The team follows the family line in terms of attention and friendliness. In the kitchen, D. Adelaide and her team do an excellent job.

I would recommend it and come back, without a doubt!!“

“The food was spectacular, the staff were super friendly and available to help. They know what they are doing, how the dishes are prepared, they know the ingredients well. Focusing on quality, a very pleasant surprise!

Vegetarian options: Very good vegetarian lasagna.

Parking: Huge park, with covered options, electric vehicle charger available in front of the restaurant.“

“It deserves to have more comments than it does. Maybe it's because it's not touristy and the typical Portuguese don't have the habit of writing reviews, I don't know. What is certain is that it serves typical Portuguese food with large portions and an excellent quality/price ratio. We go frequently when we are visiting Santarém. Always good service and good food. It is also suitable for large groups and families, it even has a semi-enclosed space with a swing and slide. One serving is enough for 2 and the starters are great too. Basically: I advise.

Kid-friendliness: It has a large space with a slide and swings. Great

Wheelchair accessibility: Perfectly wheelchair accessible“

“Satisfactory restaurant. The squid and prawn kebabs came without the kebab stick. I like the traditional way better. The food was good. The room is large and very echoing. The interior of the kitchen is visible from the dining room. The house sweets were very good. The paper with the menu is not personalized. It's the ice cream menu with the menu written by hand in slightly faded ink.“

“Top, top... the interior space, very "Zen" and well decorated, gives us comfort and the feeling that the feast won't fail... and it didn't.
We ordered some chunks of Portuguese-style veal, fried in something and olive oil, accompanied by some homemade fries on sticks, which were super crispy.
The chunks, just right, pink inside, super soft and tender, with the seal to match.
Another favorable point, the choice of wines they have available, large and good, everything so that our visit is not in vain and is an experience to repeat.
It was the first time, but when in Benavente, I will definitely visit.
P.s.... the desire to eat was so great that there was no room for photos ??“

“(Translated by Google) Unbeatable treatment and exquisite quality. The owners are charming. The food was very good and the sardines were delicious and very fresh! You have to visit it yes or yes.(Original)Trato inmejorable y calidad exquisita. Los dueños son un encanto. La comida muy buena y las sardinas riquísimas y muy frescas!! Hay que visitarlo si o si.“

“Every day there are several dishes of the day that are very meat-based. The grills are charcoal and the secret ones and the lizards are very good. The dish of the day costs 10 euros with everything included including dessert, coffee and drink. I, who have to have lunch out every day, find here a place where the price-quality ratio is one of the best. The staff and Luís are very friendly.“

“Super nice and stable place ❤? I loved it

I was treated very well, the house was full and it didn't take long. Very good food!

Vegetarian options: My friend had the mushroom risotto and it was great.

Parking: Unpaid parking all around“

“(Translated by Google) A top ice cream shop. All products are Top. The service provided by Filó and Catarina is 5 stars. I recommend(Original)Uma geladaria Top. Todos os produtos são Top. O atendimento da Filó e da Catarina é 5 estrelas. Recomendo“

“(Translated by Google) I've known slif for many years, well for those who have been working for many years to serve us, well do it.(Original)Já conheço o slif a muitos anos bem para os que já trabalham a muitos anos para nós servir,? bem aja.“

“An excellent home style prepared in a timely and perfect way A good wine selection but their house red is also very nice. At the moment is a one person show with Maria doing everything. Prices are also very good and is recommended by the Hotel UMU next door“

“(Translated by Google) The idea of ​​Sushi does not seem to me to be successful. I love Sushi (seriously sushi, full of wasabi, no fruit, no Europeanisms, thanks to a workshop I did on Sushi) but Sushi deserves its own atmosphere, just as Silas Chef has his own atmosphere, based on steaks. Ahead, taste, ready!!!(Original)A ideia do Sushi não me parece bem conseguida. Adoro Sushi (sushi a sério, carregado de wasabi, sem frutas, sem europeísmos, por força de workshop k fiz sobre o Sushi) mas o Sushi merece um ambiente próprio, assim como o Silas Chef tem um ambiente próprio e em função das bifanas. Adiante, gosto, pronto!!!“

“Small restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere, modern, well decorated, friendly and competent staff. There is free parking nearby.
Acceptable prices and food served in generous quantities.
We were eight people, everyone loved the dishes they ordered.
I highly recommend it, but it is preferable to book in advance as it usually fills up.“

“One of the most amazing foods I have had in Portugal. The food was fresh and tasted awesome. The service was prompt and very welcoming. There is seating inside and outside. The menu is very large and diverse. We tried 3 different dishes within our group and everything was superb.

Vegetarian options: Lots of salads“

“I had roast chicken for lunch, well roasted and nothing else to highlight. Spare ribs (Pork Ribs) soft, tender, falling off the bone and barely breathing on it, but without soul. I thought the price was a bit high for the food. The lady who served us was kind, even for her patience in putting up with my nephews.
Lunch on the day of the blessing of the folders.“

“I only noticed that the bread wasn't what was used in the past, the bread was toasted on the fire where the cod was roasted and was drizzled with olive oil, that was the real torricado, the rest wasn't bad, it's a shame there wasn't parking , it is difficult to find where to park.

Parking: It’s difficult to find a place to park there isn’t one ?️“

“Great spot. Excellent service.
Regarding the food, I was displeased, as it was very different, for the worse, from the last time I had lunch there. The stone soup had much less meat and sausages. The dishes came with meat cooked in a different way. We were very displeased.
Next time I go to Almeirim I will look for another restaurant.“

“Nice and clean space. Very good food. Service at first not very friendly, but then things get better. Sometimes employees are “discussing” about internal logistics and customers have to be listening. Other than that, very good, I recommend.“

“This is a great spot in the evening as the sun shines onto the pavement outside and you can watch ships leave the port. We had the seafood plate for two which was excellent and came with a mallet and seafood fork ... necessary to get at the winkles and crab claws. Great selection of seafood which was €45 for two. Beer was extra!“
