“I would like to share my positive experience at Solar dos Amigos restaurant. The octopus I ordered was delicious, perfectly cooked and very flavorful. However, I want to mention that the portions, although generous, are perfect for one person if you have a good appetite. It is an excellent place to enjoy well-prepared dishes in a pleasant atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant for those who appreciate good food and satisfying portions.“

“Excellent example of what the restaurant business should be all about! Food is simply perfect... flavors and textures spot on.Also a note to the very attentive service.Prices are higher than other options in the area, yes they are, but quality has a price.“

“Every year when we are on vacation in this area, Flavors of Italy is a must for me and my family.
Delicious dishes, elegant but cozy atmosphere and simply impeccable service.
What can you say about a place where they remember you from one year to the next and come to greet you... that I hope we repeat next year again.“

“Fantastic service and could not ask for a nicer staff!
We ordered a pizza, some duck rice and starter salads. Pizza was ok and came with canned mushrooms which was a bit off. The duck rice was a bit bland and literally came with ONE piece of sausage. It was tasty, but could use a bit more duck and was quite dry.
We came as they were closing for lunch, so maybe next time we will come earlier as I feel it has potential for a great meal.“

“We had put it on our list of new experiences, the rest of Cairo had good references and we decided to have lunch on Saturday.
The restaurant is welcoming and the decor is pleasant and takes us back to all those Indiana Jones movies, we go in and feel at home.
We ate good Egyptian food with delicious hibiscus tea and delicious coconut baklava…it was wonderful.
The sixth star goes to those who served us with great friendliness, kindness and a joy that shines in our eyes.
Gratitude!!!“

“Simply wonderful, very very good, from the service to the food, dessert and even the coffee. We ordered a board for two people and it was given to us and my son, everything was divine. We were very well received, from the service to the food. We will certainly return.“

“This is my favorite restaurant in town, the service is exceptional, and the food is excellent and at a wonderful cost. While many restaurants in Lourinha have kept raising their prices this one has maintained fair pricing. They treat you like family and go above and beyond to make sure you have a great dining experience. Love this place! Reservations are recommended since its always a full house.“

“Sweet small vegetarian restaurant! Really good! We had a plate with a mix of some main dishes. The soup (no picture) was really good as well! There was free tea all the time and lovely service! We were in a queue in front of the store, so maybe it's a good idea to book a table before visiting the restaurant. Updated from previous review on 2024-09-15“

“A restaurant with a family atmosphere, as if you were at home. A feeling of giving to customers as if they were yours and your menu, wanting more.

I always highly recommend it. Congratulations to everyone and continue.
I wish you success particularly from Jbricolage, cadaval.“

Eager to please, they bend over backwards to satisfy us even if we ask for dishes that do not exist on the menu.
The dishes are accessible, between €8 and..../person

I highly recommend this restaurant ?

Vegetarian options: They adapt to you“

“It is the best Italian restaurant in the area. The food is TOP!!! We have tried many different foods and desserts, and all were 5 stars. They have a variety of refreshing juices too.The staff is very friendly and kind and always receiving the clients with a big smile. Also, it has the best view to have with a nice atmosphere. I highly recommend trying this restaurant, but make sure that you make a reservation, antes, it's always so crowded.

Wheelchair accessibility: It has a facility for Wheelchair.“

“Our group was very large and, even so, there were no problems. The service was efficient and the food was good and in large quantities. There is always a bit of noise because it is a very large restaurant, with a lot of people, particularly groups.“

“Very beautiful restaurant and very good food. We loved the starters and main dishes. The only negative point was the dessert, which was clearly not of the day. We were advised by an employee and unfortunately it was a hard cake that didn't fit in at all with the good experience we had had with the meal. It is not good form to recommend a dessert that is not fresh. Apart from this unfortunate event, the experience was good.“

“For a day well spent on the white sand beach in Lourinhã, lunch at FOZ RESTAURANTE is essential. This is surrounded by a beach atmosphere, with good conditions and excellent dishes. Of particular note was the monkfish rice for 2 people, which had the flavor of home cooking. It also has polite and helpful staff, which makes for an excellent meal.“

“I just want to say that I love this restaurant, the food is incredible tasty and delicious.
It’s a clean restaurant , the people who work there always with a smile on their faces ?. When I return to Portugal I will go to this restaurant again for sure , love from London guys I wish you guys all the best ❤️❤️??“

“Very good food and very well served. Great service, the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about all the dishes. Quick service and delivery of orders, even with a full house. Family and relaxed atmosphere. That's why whenever I come to Caldas, it's a restaurant I go to several times.

Dietary restrictions: Given my restrictions, I was always informed about the ingredients and execution of the dishes. They adapted whenever there was something I couldn't eat.“

“Well what to say! I didn't expect such an awesome pizza! It was one of the best in life.

This place has a cosy vibe and the service is also great. Location is also good.

I'm just sad that I can't have this pizza at home ??“

“Even if you are not vegetarian or vegan ? Try it! Being vegan myself I know how much work it is to make SUPER YUMMI vegan food ? It was
such a pleasure to have a break at Botellini while doing errands in Caldas - And I was so full I had to take the desert with me for later. Thank you! I will be back!

Dietary restrictions: Vegan. Oil Free. Sugar free.“

“Ik durf te zeggen dat ik vanavond sinds lange tijd weer echt ongelooflijk lekker heb gegeten. En dan ook nog een hartverwarmend welkom, zonder reservering. Er staan al kleine hapjes met kaasjes op tafel, wat je eet betaal je, wat je niet eet niet. Logisch toch?! En dan die kaart......alles ziet er lekker uit, dus dan maar een paar vragen stellen. Uitgebreid advies en dan bestellen wij de zwaardvis met kleine schelpjes (clamps), inktvis op een spies en de jongens beide een T-Bone steak.
Wauw, Wauw, Wauw. Wat een heerlijke vis, clamps en inktvis. Kruiden, olijfolie en heel veel knoflook. Je blijft eten, ookal heb je eigenlijk genoeg. T-Bones zijn enorm en super juicy. Ze snappen echt hoe je met liefde kookt en gasten bediend.
Oh ja, komen ze nog even met een dienblad met desserts langs. En dan moet je gewoon een huisgemaakte pannacotta, chocolademousse of limoen cheescake kiezen.........mmmmmmm.
Dames; grote complimenten, jullie hebben mijn hart veroverd. Ik kom zeker terug. Dank, dank, dank!“

“Avenida Café is located in the center of Lourinhã and stands out for being a well-decorated space with an informal atmosphere and friendly service.
On this visit I started with Bread, Olives and a dish of Black Pork Loin Paio.
For the main dish, the house specialty, that is, the rare Beef Bitoque with Fried Egg, Pickles, Olives and accompanied by good French Fries. The steak is thin, the meat is tender and the sauce is quite tasty. There was also a small, well-seasoned Mixed Salad. I accompanied the meal with Stout Beer and finished with a great Rocha Pear Jam, Chocolate Mousse and DOC Brandy from Lourinhã.
Meal around €20.
Very good!“

“Great evening in this typical restaurant.
Top staff and excellent value for money: +-25 euros/person for a cocktail, a super fresh fish dish, wine dessert, tea/coffee.
Small downsides for the sorbet which was very sweet and for the long wait between glasses/dishes.“

“This is a late review, I was here in 2022, and definitely a great place to visit, the food was great and it felt all home made, the service was also good, I made reservations and so glad I did because the moment I arrived, the restaurant started to get busy, it was dinner and yes it might feel like is in the middle of nowhere, we had a great experience. Overall, I recommend this place. Oh, and our waiter was very nice to call us a taxi, Uber didn't work in that area.“

“We ate Iberian pork and grilled salmon. Both very good. The side dishes and desserts are also very good. The white sangria is superb. Absolutely recommended. Too bad it was closed the next day for dinner (it was Sunday). Very kind staff.
Place off the beaten track and frequented by locals.“

“Good food, good service and good space!
?
Adequate prices.

Small points for improvement:
- they brought the 3 main dishes to the 3 people at different times.
- there could be plates on the tables to eat the starters.“

“It was a very interesting experience. We were passing through the city and a little hungry but we had to make some time. This place was perfect, because the food was great (we discovered the famous farinheira there, which is a sausage here in Portugal that we saw in many places but had never tried), the service was great, very kind and helpful, and the place has a charm. Furthermore, it has a feminist touch that enchanted me!! I loved it and recommend it. Especially if you need a place to take a break between trips.“

“Absolutely divine meal! The best meat I've eaten in a long time. An empty one (with shrimp) and a picanha that leaves you crying for more!! Good passion fruit sangria and everything was so good that (much to my regret) I couldn't find space for the desserts I saw passing by in the room...!!! I would go back more often if I lived nearby (which is not the case), but when I return to the area and the region, I will definitely return to Taberna. I only give 5 stars because there are no more ??
Irreproachable and attentive service!!!“

“Great place for an easy lunch off the Praça da Fruta in Caldas da Rainha. Amazing Sardines fish was fresh and super delicious Great service people making you feel at home even though they are going crazy servingA must stop in the middle of Caldas“

“Simply delicious! We had breakfast at this restaurant and the flavor, quality and service were surprising.
I ordered scrambled eggs with avocado and banana bread, both of which were excellent. The detox juice was wonderful. My friend ordered pancakes and a bun with egg and bacon, both very tasty. During my time in the city I will definitely come back more often.

Vegetarian options: There are also vegetarian options.

Dietary restrictions: For those who eat gluten and lactose free there are plenty of options.“

“Thanks to the lady who runs the store today I was able to find where my ancestors lived. This speaks of his quality as a person. My heart bursts with joy and it gives me hope that there are still such good people. Thanks for your kind attention.“

“Came here late night. Did have to wait quite some time for the food (about an hour and a half) but honestly I thought it was worth it. We each got an appetizer, breads, and a main dish. Food was quite good and very rich. Staff were kind and attentive! We even got a taste of the veal tartar which was amazing!

I personally didn’t care for the atmosphere with the blue, but that doesn’t change the food which was extremely good!!“

“I had the pleasure of visiting this place, on a couples’ date. As it was a large reservation, everything was well organized, with a Valentine's Day theme, fast and super attentive service, classic Portuguese starters. Next, the main course was two dishes, mixed meat, where everything was perfectly cooked and juicy, with a classic accompaniment, and then came the feijoada complete with a different accompaniment, very light in flavor, I highly recommend it, a taste of home.“

“**Review of A Telha**

Nestled in the heart of Cadaval, A Telha is a culinary gem that promises an unforgettable dining experience. The location alone is worth a visit; Cadaval is a charming town that offers a serene and picturesque escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. If you are someone who values peace and quiet, you might even consider making Cadaval your new home.

From the moment you step into A Telha, you are greeted with warm hospitality and impeccable service. The staff is attentive, friendly, and genuinely committed to ensuring that every guest feels welcome and well taken care of. Their professionalism and courtesy set the tone for a delightful meal.

The food at A Telha is nothing short of spectacular. Each dish is a testament to the chef's skill and passion for culinary excellence. Whether you're in the mood for traditional Portuguese fare or something with a modern twist, A Telha delivers on all fronts. The flavors are rich and authentic, and the presentation is both beautiful and appetizing. Every bite leaves you wanting more.

One of the highlights of my visit was the unique experience of having lunch with the president sitting at the next table. This speaks volumes about the restaurant's reputation and the sense of community it fosters. It's not every day you get to dine in such esteemed company, and it added a special touch to an already memorable meal.

In conclusion, A Telha is a must-visit for anyone in or around Cadaval. The combination of excellent food, outstanding service, and a tranquil location makes it a standout choice. I look forward to returning soon and reliving this wonderful experience.“

“A very nice environment, with friendly service. The food was excellent. I chose grilled Bife da Vazia, a truly juicy meat. My wife ordered Arroz de Tamboril which was delicious as well. The day was hot, so the lack of air conditioning was the only set back. Anyway it is a really nice restaurant to go to.“

“We arrived as a party of six and order food and drinks , another group arrived and ordered 20mins after us, and you guessed it they got there food and had finished their meal before our starters.
Appalling service and the food wasn’t much better.“

“Excellent food in a small village (Imaginário) near Caldas da Rainha.
It's not the cheapest but it's worth every euro.
The restaurant has a rustic look and, as background music, we have fados playing on the radio.
Very welcoming.
The rojoada is very good and the dessert, something I don't know exactly what, is strange at first and then it sinks in.“

“The fish soup is full of fish pieces and bigger than expected! The shrimp tapas is fresh and flavorful, soaked in some salty garlic sauce. The staff is very friendly. I was lucky to have got a table outside before 9pm, since it gets even busier later at night!“

“Excellent place to eat in Óbidos.
Very delicious food and good service.
We tried the rice with mussels, the beef steak that has rice, potatoes and egg and for dessert the chocolate cake.
All very good and about €23 per person.“

“Located in the heart of the renowned Praça da Fruta, Citrus Coffee & Healthy Food is more than a simple pastry-cafe. It is a space with a unique concept in the city that offers a peaceful and cultural environment. On the 1st floor we find a very pleasant room, with good energy and where we have several books of various literary genres at our disposal. The concept of Citrus is also to encourage a more conscious and healthier lifestyle. And this is reflected in the various options of juices and smoothies, meals, salads, brunch, snacks, etc., personalized to the customer's taste and respecting food intolerances. The entire decoration and philosophy of the space creates an ideal atmosphere for sitting, reading a book, chatting and/or working with a tablet or laptop. The service from the staff is friendly and efficient. Good quality-price ratio. See you soon!“

“I really enjoyed the experience, very good house-made garlic steak... Very friendly and attentive owner or manager, the rest could be more.... Regarding the final bill, I thought it was a little expensive for food that is steaks with a side of fries and salad.... But not unreasonably expensive.“

“The best spot in the region after a day of surfing. We won't even talk about the extraordinary atmosphere on this pretty terrace, and as for the end of the day with the sun setting right across the ocean... you too will become addicted and come back every year.
The food is excellent and the service matches the place.
To be reserved for Zen people who will enjoy the view of the ocean and the atmosphere.

Kid-friendliness: Yes No problem !

Wheelchair accessibility: Very easy to access via the beach parking lot.“

“(Translated by Google) Food with very good presentation and very well prepared. Careful service and good disposition. On repeat.(Original)Comida com muito boa apresentação e muito bem confecionada. Atendimento cuidado e com boa disposição. A repetir.“

“My wife and I had recently lunch at this restaurant which was recommended by friends of ours. It is a good thing we booked a table as the main dining room was almost full and so was the outside terrace both with local patrons. We ordered mushrooms sautéed in garlic butter to begin with followed by Salmon for my wife and I had the Sirloin Steak Brasilian style. As desserts we ordered Torte de nata and Panacotta with wildberries. Overall the food was generously portioned and good. Typical local restaurant with no sophistication whatsoever even the Sirloin steak was topped with an orange slice! Just plain good food. Service was courteous and rather efficient. Overall a good experience as you tend to find in the "so called" best local restaurants.“

“Literally just had lunch there. Daily specials at reasonable prices. Had the roasted turkey leg at a "speedy" time as we are moving into the area. Delicious! Great attentive service. Space was just a tad warm but we will return for sure!“

“Small Cossy restaurant,
Where we can rest
time for a pleasant moment.

Very good food and very reasonably priced
A small downside for the typical Portuguese dish but each has its own taste.

Pork cheek and neck a treat“

“A bit pretentious as its name suggests.
The prices are correct, but the tastes are nothing exceptional (it's still OK despite everything). And I was entitled to very fast service between the starter and the main course, but I waited a long time for the dessert.
However, the chocolate cake is really very good.
And the terrace under the lemon tree is just great“

“Typical Portuguese place where food and friendliness are valued. The prices are out of this world! I can't understand how they can make a profit when everything is so absurdly cheap. I recommend it to anyone who visits, as soon as you enter you will be warmly welcomed with an inviting smile“

“Well decorated restaurant, attentive and polite service, well seasoned and very tasty food.
We ordered the Steak with cream sauce and mountain cheese, the roast potatoes were wonderful!
The sangria is also delicious!

Kid-friendliness: My daughter really liked the Spaghetti Bolognese“

“Great food, service from our waiter was one of the worst experience I ever had yesterday, he was the bald guy with the tattoo, was rude the entire service, didn’t offer a single thank you or smile and did not know how to serve a table either, his rudeness made us feel sorry but we shouldn’t have as it is his job to offer a great service when a table of 3 stack up at 180 euros bill in less than an hour and a half, all the other waiters were nice tho but this guy shouldn’t work in a restaurant if he’s angry like that all the time, disappointed“
