“We had some great food in this restaurant. People are very friendly, prices are reasonable and service is good. Highly recommended. Make sure you call for reservation as online reservations didn't work for us. Included photo was from the Duck.“

“One of my favorite restaurants. Always friendly, and great food. I chose to eat grilled rack of lamb with mushroom risotto and salad. My companion opted for the grilled entrecôte with sautéed mushrooms and served with white rice, black beans, broken eggs... let's just say that both were served quite well.“

“Good beer, good seafood, good menu, good dishes (I love the Cervejália steak), good prices, good desserts, good service, little waiting time, good atmosphere, good location, easy parking nearby...Ahhh!!! and one of the best Francesinhas... south of the Douro River! ????“

“The food here was very good. Everyone in my party ordered something different and everyone was very pleased with their selection. However, the service was horribly slow. We rarely saw our waiter so asking for ketchup came after we were done with our food. Our drink order came out with our food so forget about enjoying a pre-meal cocktail. We had to get up and look for our waiter to request the bill. We invited our tour guide to join us for lunch, and even he was shocked at the lack of service. If time is not an issue and you are not hangry, I would recommend this restaurant….bring your patience.“

“Food, atmosphere and staff were all were wonderful.
Food: 3 of us shared the 'menu leitão'. Although we tried, there was so much food, that we were unable to finish it all (nevertheless the remainder left with us in 'doggy bags' ?). The starters were fabulous, a variety of pork 'parcels', wrapped in wonderfully light pastry. Accompanied by feijoada. We had to keep reminding each other to try to leave space for the main course but the food was so moorish, it was hard to leave it alone.
The main course, leitão, was perfect. At some places, I have found the overall dish can be a bit greasy, the meat a bit fatty and the skin tough, however, O Pote do Leitão's melted in the mouth.
We had a vihno verde to accompany the meal, which was ideal - light and didn't detract from the food's flavours.
Atmosphere:It is a lovely, interesting restaurant. The walls are adorned with photos of the many 'famous' people who have dined there. Although it is not a pretentious place and the staff make you feel welcomed and at home. We spent over 3 hours dining unhurriedly these. It was perfect, the way a great meal should be enjoyed, not in a rush but with good company and conversation.
I had last eaten the restaurant some years back, it was great to return there and I am sure I will do so again in the future.

Parking: Parking is off-road open-air (the restaurant's car park), bays are marked and it is free.

Kid-friendliness: All are welcomed.

Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is ground floor and there are no steps to have to navigate.“

“We stayed at this hotel a few times during our tour of Portugal and it was a great spot to stay and eat. The restaurant is perfectly located and surrounded by windows. The food was very good and the staff was SUPER nice and friendly. Thank you Marcio and Bruno for making our visit to the Marques de Pombal a wonderful experience.“

“My review was based on my boyfriend's experience, who already knows the place and says it's great. It's a shame that on Google the opening times say it's open on Wednesdays and to our sadness it was closed as it was a rest day. It would be good to update Google so that other people don't create expectations that they will arrive at a place to eat and find themselves with the doors closed. I hope to visit the restaurant on another occasion, so I can have my own experience. Thanks!“

“I confess that I had been curious about entering this house for some time now!It has been many years since I last entered this space... when it was still owned by Mr. Raúl! I still remember your friendliness and good disposition towards all your clients... without exception!Today... it is a renovated space, well decorated and very welcoming.The service remains friendly... as if "inherited" from Mr. Raúl, the terrace is also pleasant, quiet and with no shortage of ambient music... also with great taste!I'll be back... for sure!“

“Food and service were very good! But they were lacking a lot of products, specially home made starters. The escuse is that the day after the restaurant would be closed, thus they didn’t prepare any fresh starters… As a client when I go to restaurant I expect everything to be available everyday the restaurant is open, with exception of food which is clearly stated should be ordered in advance…“

“The service is 10* the waiter is a good professional very good starters the steak with pepper was good meat a little tough but good São Sebastião cod the puree full of pepper but the cod was very well cooked the tomato rice was very good the The fish fillets were very good, the only problem I saw was the waiting time for them to serve the food and for the bill to be brought, and the rest is nothing to say for sure that I will be back

Parking: Parking is outdoors with plenty of free parking spaces, the restaurant is close to a Prio pump and next to the Neomaquina Supermarket“

“Very pleasant surprise to have found Pedro's at IC2 in Travasso - PombalAt the entrance, the clams and octopus with vinaigrette sauce, accompanied by a cold beer, were an excellent calling card!The contagious friendliness of its super professional staff provided the comfort for a memorable meal!Also worth highlighting is the wine list with reference brands and the showcase with a wide variety of fresh seafood!!!Finally, to make your mouth water, here I leave you with the dessert I finished with!Well done Jorge and Family“
