Portuguese Restaurants near Penamacor, PT

“Affordable restaurant, with a full menu for 8.5 euros with cover charge, soup, main dish, drink, dessert and coffee. The space is simple, but the food and service are excellent. They know how to manage customer expectations well, not letting them be disappointed. Serve with kindness.“

“To avoid a criticism intoxicated with the proximity to the experience we had, this time we allowed the necessary time to pass (around 15 days) so that we could make a raw and sincere assessment from a distance.

There are places that have the capacity to be oases in the places where they are established and Casa da Velha Fonte is clearly one of these examples.

If we divide the experience into a few steps such as Reservation, Reception, Tasting, Post Tasting and Post Experience Monitoring, our visit reached a level of excellence, which will remain in the annals of our memory until old age.

The Chef's attention to the fact that my wife was pregnant, the friendliness at the reception, the natural theatricality of the place, the surroundings, the symbiosis between chef Maria and Sommelier/Host Rui and of course, the quality of what we ate, were all incredible points.

May beings with this capacity for work and creativity be fed, because what we had was work worthy of a work of art.

I highly recommend visiting this place, but that you visit with an open mind and the ability to appreciate not only the quality of the food, but also the quality of the ingredients and the icing on the cake: the attention and care of this wonderful team.

Thank you from the bottom of this heart that was filled during the visit to your place.“

“Really great, beautiful little bar with an incredibly great outdoor area where you are rewarded with a beautiful view over the country.
The employees are super warm and nice, the prices are very good and the selection of drinks is quite large.
We felt extremely comfortable and were there 3 times and were also able to enjoy the sunset from the terrace. Absolute recommendation!“

“We feel guilty.
We arrived to our reservation towards the end of an event in the gourmet hall of the restaurant. We were asked to please wait as the event was finishing and the guests were slow to leave. As we were waiting, our reservation time came and went. While waiting we were served wine, cheese and cured ham, free of charge. We were also served a fried appetiser, again free of charge. 20 minutes past our reservation time, we were invited into the gourmet hall. The event was over, but it was obvious the hall was not cleaned up yet. There, in a corner, a table for two was arranged for us.

During this, the wait staff was polite and apologizing for the delay and the circumstances. It was really no problem for us, the appetisers we were served while waiting was lovely, and them being free of charge was a nice surprise.

The food was very well presented and balanced. We had the classical gourmet menu. It consisted of a spread of cheese with fig jam, charcuterie, butters (mushroom and lemon variant) and olive oil. It was followed by mushroom soup, which was rich in flavors and not too heavy. The cod was salty and accompanied by a Portuguese chickpea puree and avocado salad, a lovely combination. The meat had a nice crust, a delicious sauce and vegetables with an acidic tang to them. Finishing up was "the chef's creation". It was a chocolate mousse with vanilla ice cream and a popping suprise on top. Rich in flavors, not too heavy, and perfectly sweet.

When it was time for the bill, we actually felt guilty. We felt the meal and the experience was worth far more than we paid. The wait staff frequently checked up on us, the chef came out twice to speak with us, and the atmosphere, with only my partner and I in the whole hall, made the whole visit an experience we won't forget.

Obrigado.“

Comida caseira e muito apetitosa. Restaurante perfeito para almoçar quando a caminho de visitar Monsanto e evitamos aglomerados nos restaurantes de Monsanto“

“I don't know what they're going to charge me because I'm waiting for the coffee. So my opinion could not be more objective as far as quality is concerned. Environment of 10: healthy and hard-working people. Meal of 10: very delicious grilled meats. Sparkling white wine: I repeated a carafe. Delicious. The girl who served is lovely. Helpful and doing everything possible to explain the different dishes to me despite being from Galicia and half understanding. He was wearing a t-shirt with the legend “staff.” With people like this Portugal never disappoints. If you visit the historic villages of Portugal, do your best to eat here.“

“A pleasant and cozy restaurant with very delicious and abundant food (excellent, the venison stew). And close and affectionate treatment and service. If there are many people it may take a while. But if you go slowly, it is still a very pleasant and recommended place.“

“Very simple place but yet very good, the most flavoured food, great tasting, the bacalhau/Cod fish was the most tasteful thing ever, very clean I’m super satisfied, the dessert what’s tiramisu style home made and soooo good thank you for the kindest people that own the place!“

“Despite the first sensation of an area with little atmosphere, the quality of the homemade food is surprising, a welcome with an excellent homemade broth and a small plate of olives. Food of good quality, simple and traditional but with a touch of modernity.The place is cozy without frills but with taste and cleanliness.Certainly recommended.“

“Incredible restaurant. The food, service, and view were AWESOME! Our waiter was knowledgeable and with the help of our translation app, we communicated about my partner’s celiac/gluten-free dietary requirements. Delicious lamb chops - genuinely “

“Wild boar! You just don’t get this on the menu back in the states. We had a late lunch here, but the dish of the day was still available. Stewed wild boar. We ordered the kids grilled pork and French fries. Authentic as it gets! The owner greeted us and served us our meals. While most tourists won’t venture out into the interior of Portugal, for those that do, stop in for a fantastic “home cooked meal”“

“The owner and the cook were very kind and attentive, the food was very tasty and the dish was really full, she even took the time to ask us if we wanted anything else from our orders at no cost... delicious desserts, a place with a welcoming and good atmosphere, good coffee and delicious...I highly recommend it...????“
