28 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Penacova

“Great location with good food.Quite a lot of choice. Service also spoke reasonable English and the menu is also in English. In terms of taste, the food is fine. Various side dishes with the food to combine flavors. The only point of criticism is that the food in our case could have been warmer. It was lukewarm/just not cold. That was of course perfect for the children, but for us as parents, warm food would have been nicer.All the desserts they have are homemade. Definitely recommended to try.I would definitely want to go here again.“

“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“

“Authentic and great site! The first day we arrived when the kitchen was closed and they fed us anyway, we returned the next day and ate SPECTACULAR rice with octopus and a steak. Ideal portions, accompaniments in all dishes and maximum friendliness. Without a doubt 100% RECOMMENDED!!!“

“Everything was excellently well prepared. I recommend the pear sangria which is absolutely delicious. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because I left the restaurant not satisfied as the quantities were much lower than expected. The dish is small and comes with very little and that would be a point of improvement that I suggest because everything else is perfect.“

“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!“

“I wanted to take my sister to a Michelin Restaurant for her birthday dinner while we were here in Coimbra. We decided to go to Casa do Bragal and we are so delighted that we choose this setting for her dinner. We walked in and it felt that we were in some ones home there were books and paintings all over the restaurant. The tables were set beautifully. We were a little early for the 8:00 PM opening and we were invited in to sit by the owner. When we got to the table it was set with a few different before dinner treats. We had olives, a beet dish, sardines, a type of marinated beans, a mushroom tart & the cheese was adorned with a sweet pepper relish. Our main meals came out under a covered dome and it was enjoyable to have them remove the cover to display the meal. I had the scallops with watercress rice and my sister had the veal with potatoes and spinach. They were extremely tasty. We saved room for dessert since it was a buffet of 12 different choices including, rice pudding, tiramisu, chocolate mousse, flan and many others. The owner was so gracious and helped us make some of our choices, the waiter was so observant that he even turned the light on when I headed for the ladies room. It was such an enchanting evening and we would highly recommend this restaurant to others.“

“Tastefully decorated restaurant on a street corner near the stadium.The cool, multilingual service manager was super friendly and attentive.The starters were great, we had the two types of Brás in a nice little pot.For the main course we chose the bacelhau with peppers and the tuna on the hot stone, which was fun and delicious with the three types of sauce.Unfortunately, dessert was no longer possible, we were already very full and very satisfied.We would be happy to come back next time we visit Coimbra.“

“Excellent. For those who come to Coimbra and don't know where to go, it's a very good experience. The space is not very large, but this allows the service to be quick. Although I really liked both, I think the hamburger is superior to the prego, perhaps because the meat has a stronger seasoning.
But for me the best part is Pionés. Because a pin is a small nail, right? Wonderful.“

“We were unsettled by the various reviews and would like to form our own opinion. The food (sea bass and turkey) was excellent. Communicating with the waitress was a bit difficult, but possible with good will on both sides. And unlike another review, the attention was very good! All in all really great! And the portions are not only good, but also large.“

“Impeccable service, friendliness and care when we announced that we would be bringing a baby stroller. The food was very tasty and well served. We ate the feathers, accompanied by potatoes and some dreamy crumbs. The red watered the dish. We liked it so much that we repeated it.“

“(Translated by Google) I went with my family to have dinner at Taberna de Poyares and I must say that we loved it! A simple place, with a friendly decoration and very welcoming. The friendliness of the staff is 5* and the food is delicious, and in very generous amounts. I should also mention that it has a sangria that, for me, was one of the best I've ever tasted. Thanks!(Original)Fui em família jantar na Taberna de Poyares e devo dizer que adorámos! Um local simples, com uma decoração simpática e muito acolhedor.

“A serious restaurant.I ordered meals through an app, with all the information and I did not receive the product.When I asked, they told me that someone received it (a neighbor) next door.He made the delivery without making sure who he was delivering it to.But the order was not to be delivered to the door. And yes, talk to me, the reception would open and the person would leave it in the elevator.What did not happen.Returning to the restaurant, the team quickly understood what happened and sent me the order again, which was delivered without any problems.Congratulations and my thanks to SABOR E ARTE for the decision made in favor of your client.“

“Highly recommended, yes. Not expensive, simple solid cuisine, smooth and friendly service, low prices. You risk having to wait, it is best to come early (before 12:00) or late (after 14:00). Crowded because of the proximity of the cancer hospital, e.g. the bombeiros of the patient transport come here frequently; as well as doctors and nurses.“

“I recommend the Café Park restaurant! It's my and my grandmother's favorite restaurant every time we go to Mortágua. We have always had good experiences.It is worth mentioning the excellent quality of the meals, at a very affordable price.Fast service and very professional, dynamic and helpful staff.Thanks!“
