“There are several ways of working in gastronomy, but the one I really appreciate most is when you work with love and especially with affection for those looking for a different restaurant, where we are treated not as customers, but as part of the family. Thank you and see you on your next quick visit.“

“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. ?“

“I start by mentioning that it is my favorite restaurant to taste suckling pig: Without a doubt the best quality and price in the region
In recent years, suckling pig for me has only been served at Churrasqueira Rocha, everything has always been impeccable, from the service, suckling pig, starters, garnish and dessert.
I'm just sorry I can't go more often a year ;)“

“??: What a wonderful discovery this is.
I went in search of some Coimbra-style migas and ended up enjoying the Açorda that accompanied the fried petinga.
One of the best açordas I've eaten in my life.
All the food was extremely fresh and delicious, even the mixed salad.
I recommend it 100% and will definitely be back.
Not to mention the waiters, the girl who served us first and the man who finished our service. Both of them extremely friendly.
??: What an amazing finding this one
I was looking for a place that served “Migas à moda de Coimbra”, which is a dish made with bread, black eyed peas and cabbage.
I end up delighting on the “Açorda” that was a side dish of the fried “petinga”(small sardine like whitebait)
It was one of the best “Açorda” I’ve eaten in my life.
All food we ordered was fresh and delicious.
I recommend this place 100% and no doubt I’ll be back
Also to mentioned the staff that was so friendly and so nice to us. Always with a smile on their faces“

“Eating suckling pig is at Musaga. I've eaten suckling pig in different restaurants, but this one surprised me. The piglet had no fat, the skin and meat of the piglet was very tasty. Of course accompanied by a sparkling wine recommended by the employee, which was ?. We didn't leave without a delicious dessert. In short, 1/2 suckling pig with fries, 1 bottle of sparkling wine worth €17 and 3 desserts, totaling €144.“

Francesinha Sandwich ...ham, steak filet, chorizo, smoked sausage, cheese, toasted bread, sweet red pepper\tomato garlic sauce ?

“Comida Portuguesa muy buena, pedimos un plato de bacalao con espinacas y garbanzos qué me sorprendió, y eso que he comido bastantes platos de bacalao en Portugal. El camarero que nos atendió fue muy simpático y amable. Además, sé me olvidó él móvil y las gafas y, después de habernos marchado, vino en nuestra búsqueda para entregarnoslo, muchas gracias.“

“Perfectly roasted suckling pig. Crispy crackling, tender flesh, and no salt needed if you use the basting juices properly.
Service is friendly and polite.
I'd recommend ordering a salad to complement the piglet.“

“I went to this restaurant for the first time, the service and food were impeccable, I would just like to highlight and understand that it is not the owner's responsibility, the noise that some customers present for dinner also made (I may have chosen the wrong day) but that makes the space so noisy that it becomes impossible to have a conversation with anyone sitting at the table.“

“Wonderful atmosphere, with some interesting employees and an out-of-this-world view of the kitchen where the 180cm boss is, tall and broad-shouldered, dark and toned... Wow! It takes your breath away. ? The food, well... the food was good too!Regarding the suggested dish, I would suggest the boss... but they wouldn't go wrong served with a francesinha either, they're wonderful“

“After a heavy rain shower, we went to the restaurant and wanted to have dinner around 6 p.m., but the kitchen wasn't open yet. Nevertheless, we were able to order something to drink and the food came really quickly. We felt very well looked after“
“Luca is one of our favourite place to have lunch. The restaurant is located in a cute and peaceful square near the main high street. The food is always delicious and is a great alternative for those who are looking for something healthy to eat. So far we tried the fresh organic orange juices and smoothies, the hummus, falafel, pastel de bacalhau for snacks. We also tried their grilled salmon with couscous which is one of our favourite dishes along with a nice fresh Praxis whenever we feel a bit naughty. :) The staff members are always friendly, smiley and helpful. We will certainly be back soon. ;)“

“We’ve been here 10 days and so far most of our food had no flavour or contained meat even if advertised as vegetarian. Fangas veg has amazing food, plenty of vegan options, very friendly staff and a super cute place in a nice part of the old town. Wish we could come again to eat the rest of the menu“

“Incredible!! Tavern with live Fado music, highly recommended. The place is hidden in one of the alleys of Coimbra, it is a very small but cozy restaurant. The food was very good and the service was fast and efficient. The show starts at 9:30 p.m., so they ask you to arrive around 8:30 p.m. if you want to have dinner. They advise you to reserve, since being small, they have few tables and it fills up quickly. We ordered a ham and cheese sandwich and some spaghetti carbonara (highly recommended). Regarding the Fado concert, without words. Everything is wonderful!! The "group" we heard had an incredible live performance, they even interacted with the audience, which made it even more special. Plus, it's pretty affordable. Dinner plus entry to the show cost us €50. Do not hesitate to come here to enjoy authentic Portuguese Fado while enjoying a cheap romantic dinner.“

“Small cute place with a soft romantic vibe.
You may have to wait to get seated but I'd say it's worth it. Truly tasty food, in line with the local and Portuguese tradition but with a modern and innovative twist.

“Dinner in Coimbra at this restaurant in the historic center of the city. We tasted the sausage, typical of these areas, prepared in two different cooking methods. Excellent, especially in the chorizo version. The baked potatoes are also good. Informal service by young - always smiling - waiters. Account adequate for the dishes received. Advised.“

“Very well decorated space, with very good service and great atmosphere. Every time I've been to lunch I haven't really liked the dish of the day: I think it's expensive for the quality of the food. But the dishes on the menu are very good and the desserts are divine. I recommend it for dinner despite the prices being high. At lunch, we must first confirm what the daily dishes are.“

“A great success from Coimbra too. We ordered a plate for 2 and we had leftovers, I'll leave it there. Huge dish of goat cooked in wine for hours... Buff, very delicious, very much. And the perfect grilled sea bream! Ah! And the spectacular homemade caramel slime!!
A place to repeat for sure!
Ah! And you can pay by card!“

“We ate there on a Sunday, we called at 10am and got a table for 12:30pm, which is an appropriate time to eat in Portugal. The suckling pig was very good, with crispy skin and not greasy. There were always people coming in to take their previously placed orders. It is very well priced and is a couple of minutes from the highway. Recommendable!“

“New experience. We chose daily dishes (lagareiro-style cuttlefish strips and grilled maminha). The daily rate includes soup, dish, drink, dessert of the day or fries and coffee. The quality is excellent and the quantity, considering the price, is also excellent. I recommend.“

“The service was 2, considering the food we initially received. Because the rice was porridge, it came long before the other person's dish, whose cod fillet was not only small, it was made of bones and smelled bad, as it had been soaked and pre-cooked for a long time.
However, thanks to the excellence of the employee Luís, who contacted these facts, both dishes were replaced at his request, which we commend.
However, we cannot praise the kitchen service which should have avoided such a situation.
We also praise the kindness of the employee Carla.
A restaurant that has this reputation is not up to par, as this is the second time they have served us poorly prepared food.
Yours sincerely

“A Lifesaver in CoimbraExhausted after a long day of shooting, we realized we hadn't even eaten lunch. Asking the hotel receptionist for a recommendation, she enthusiastically declared Arco Bar her "lifesaver."A short walk of 5-10 minutes later, we arrived at Arco Bar. While the exterior appeared intimate, the inside surprised us with a comfortable space accommodating roughly 50 guests. The atmosphere was lively, bathed in the warm glow of numerous ceiling bulbs.Having enjoyed Douro Doc wine for the past three days, we decided to stick with what we knew and ordered another bottle. While we weren't wine experts, the Douro region hadn't disappointed us yet.Our meal began with a delightful spread of olives and bread. Following the receptionist's recommendation, we opted for the grilled black pig, a renowned dish in Coimbra alongside codfish.And let me tell you, the black pig was nothing short of "Delicioso"! This trip, we liberally used the phrase "Out of this World," and the black pig undeniably earned that title.Fries at Arco Bar was equally impressive. Perfectly cooked, it achieved a balance of firm texture without being tough and juicy without being soggy. If I had to describe it in one word, it would be, well, you guessed it – "Out of this World"!While my coworker's shrimp omelet appeared less exciting on the plate, it proved to be light, fresh, and perfect for a pre-bedtime meal.However, the true highlight of the meal was the dessert. While I can't quite recall the specifics, it was possibly a firmer, sweeter version of tiramisu paired with a delightful chocolate mousse. Both were simply divine!The final bill was surprisingly reasonable considering the quality of the food. I left Arco Bar feeling like I could easily dine there every day!“

Prices are 15eur for starters, drink and main course (and coffee).
