I really have to say that I didn't expect to find a restaurant with all these qualities. A well-kept, clean space with great details from someone who knows what they are doing. Waiters and bar staff, each one better than the other, exemplary in every detail and detail of customer service. , unparalleled friendliness, we started with a fantastic charcuterie and cheese board with quality products, then we went through octopus which was delicious, as a dessert biscuit cake which was equally top notch, we finished with a gin on the delicious terrace with ambient music to follow.

“We came to this area to visit the Parque Natural da Arrabida, but it was raining steadily. The silver lining was finding Sabores da Quinta. We were seated immediately in a room full of several groups of locals who were clearly having a great time. From the start the waiters were attentive but not hovering. We were served fresh warm bread, cheese, and a delicious octopus salad without having to ask (only when we got the check did we see that the salad wasn't complimentary, but it was great and only cost 4 euros). My wife and I shared one chicken, pineapple, and sausage kabob and a green salad. That, along with the bread, cheese, and octopus salad starters, filled us up. We didn't even have room for dessert, but the other guests did, and they were obviously relishing the experience. Were we staying in the area, we'd certainly come back for dinner!“

“We passed through Condeixa and when we looked for restaurants for lunch this one immediately jumped out, due to its good reviews and menu. We ate the Cabrito and the Chanfana and both dishes were full of flavor and very well prepared. The service was impeccable, so it was a Sunday lunch that left nothing to be desired.“

“For the second time I came to this restaurant, I liked it more the first time, maybe because of the price difference ?.Perhaps because it was the first time I went for lunch and the price was more generous.Fantastic food, great dessert, although I think the price of dessert is a bit exaggerated.“

“Nice place, excellent food and top quality service!
Dishes well served and extremely tasty! Depending on the day and time, you may need to wait a little but nothing too long, as the room is not very big, it may take a while for the food to arrive, but it's worth it! I will definitely go back to eat the Salmon with Potatoes again, and Migas which was simply WONDERFUL ??“

“We had an excellent experience at Restaurante Gavius. The traditional Portuguese food was divine, very well presented and the dishes were delicious. For children, there was a children's menu with equally tasty options. During dinner we enjoyed a beautiful view of the garden and ambient music. The service was also excellent. We highly recommend this restaurant to all families looking for an authentic and welcoming meal in the Coimbra district.

“(Translated by Google) Very good homemade food, I recommend. The vegetable soup, cod with cream and cod rice were very good. Top desserts! I recommend the rice pudding and fig pie. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food.(Original)Comida caseira muito boa, recomendo. A sopa de legumes, o bacalhau com natas e o arroz de bacalhau estavam muito bons. As sobremesas top! Aconselho o arroz doce e tarte de figo. Fiquei agradavelmente surpreendida pela qualidade da comida.“

“Everything very well (quality, seasoning, quantities, service and RQP) and even something original. However, two less good items: the slight musty smell in the establishment when you enter, then you get used to it, and the excess of charcoal in the grills...!“

“(Translated by Google) Restaurant with terrace. Good price. The food is nothing special, but the area doesn't seem to have much to offer.(Original)Restaurante com esplanada. Bom preço. A comida nada de especial, mas na zona não me parece haver grande oferta.“

“This is probably one of the best codfish restaurants in town. There are plenty of delightful codfish options (bacalhau com broa is my favourite). Super wide wine collection with plenty of choices from budget to high end. The rooms are wonderfully decorated and the staff is friendly and super professional.“

“A find! I was surprised by this redtusrant. We found it when we passed by the place and we loved it! The ambience, the quality of the food and the service provided, everything was of great quality. The food was very well made and tasty, the desserts were also great.“

“This restaurant is in my top 5 nationally!
Absolutely surprising.
We made an advance reservation.
We selected options from the group menu and from starters to dessert there was a crescendo of quality like I hadn't seen in a long time.
Super friendly staff and efficient service also deserve our recognition. Congratulations.“

“I’ve come to the conclusion that the restaurants in the popular Matoshinos streets (R. Herois da Franca & Av Serpa Pinto) know how to cook the traditional Portuguese dishes but fall over when it comes to the bulk of staple fish dishes. I feel like they’re offering all these other fish dishes because it attracts the tourist trade. But I’m afraid you’ll find better cooked. tasting and more inventive seafood cuisine elsewhere and for a better price in Matoshinos & Porto. There are exceptions… We’ve had sardines every which way in the past but O’Filipe’s lightly tempura’d sardines were probably the best starter dish you could chose. Sublime. The green lipped mussels in a finely chopped parsley, onion & lemon vinaigrette were excellent. I’m sure the salted cod and rice dishes would be excellent choices too. Then it comes to the more staple dishes… The garlic prawns, cooked well enough in a light pimentao sauce but a tad dry. They don’t have the tenderness they should. Why I don’t know. The hake fillets with the Russian salad. Very nice salad but again the hake is a tad dry. I’ve had much better elsewhere. Desserts are simple but good. I really liked the interior restaurant atmosphere. Lot of Portuguese. Service was good. We’ll be back for the sardines, bachalau & rice dishes.“
