Taberna Ó Balcão is a popular restaurant in Santarém known for its excellent food and friendly service. The tasting menu features beautifully presented dishes that are full of flavor, showing the chef's focus on local ingredients and traditional recipes. Highlights include the smoked wild boar taco, rainbow trout, and the gratin, which is often praised as incredible. The menu is carefully prepared, with each dish offering a mix of flavors and textures that delight the palate. The starters, such as creamy crab and trout with bimis, are well-loved, and the main courses include veal cheek, croaker, and the fish called siluro, though some find the siluro less satisfying due to its small portion. Desserts like “café das velhas” are highly recommended to finish the meal. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with attentive staff providing detailed explanations and good treatment. The restaurant offers a good value, with a meal including wine, starter, main course, and dessert for around €56 per person. While the menu may not be extensive, the care in preparation and the quality of the food make it worth the trip from Lisbon.
