European Restaurants in Tomar, PT

“We ate here recently and were very impressed by both the food and the service. The restaurant has excellent views of the Nabão river and Tomar old town. The menu is varied, it’s typically Portuguese food but with a slight up market twist. We had a really enjoyable evening. The only downside we’ve found is that it seems impossible to reach the restaurant on the phone and as it gets very busy making a booking is often vital to get a table. But would definitely recommend.“

“Insensato is The place to go if you have a good taste;))
A bookshop & café for real, healthy, tasty food & drinks with lots of vegan, gf options too.
Lovely owners with a nice team of co-workers
Ohww & don’t forget to eat some ‘cake’ “

“Vegan restaurant.Good choice of dishes, well prepared food,Nice space.Everything is very good, the Pomegranate Cider is very good.Please do not allow pets into the room. But you leave it with a guide because there was a dog that needed to get on your head.“

“So good we visited twice in a week.
Five of us went in and sat upstairs.
Within a few minutes our order was taken and the Aircon activated to help us chill.

Another 5mins later our food was brought up and it was a large portion big enough to satisfy any appetite.

We left full and very happy with the price which was under €28 for all five of us having a full meal with drinks.

I will post pictures of our next visit.“

“Those places worth going to?
Here!
With time and patience (the host cooks, sets the tables, serves food and drinks, is the accountant and also regales us with stories surrounding his dishes and always with a friendly smile!)
Small, eclectic place with well-prepared, tasty and homemade food!“

“Three meals were offered and we chose a traditional Portuguese meal of duck with sides and the pulled chicken with sides. Both were excellent with great flavor and portions. The owner / server was very attentive & welcoming and shared information about Tomar. The atmosphere was quaint and friendly.“

“I loved this burger place. The burgers are delicious. It has a wide choice of burgers. Good quality in burgers, presentation and service. Regarding quantity, it's good to go hungry.
The staff is very friendly and attentive. I recommend.

“After visiting the Templar castle we are looking for something for a quick lunch.In this restaurant only local people... we sit down and we are asked if we wanted a meat or fish menu both offered at €10... we opt for fish... excellent choiceTry it and you will be happy“

“C était le dernier restaurant de notre séjour, trouvé par hasard grâce aux avis sur Google et il nous a réconcilié avec la cuisine portugaise. Nous avons pris les plats du jour, poisson et porc (pas retenu le nom mais c était délicieusement cuisiné) pour un prix de moins de 9€ le plat ! Ambiance très traditionnelle, serveuse adorable et serviable, sincèrement ne pas hésiter à pousser la porte ?“

“Set on the main street in Tomar, with indoor and outdoor seating, this is the place to go late evening. It gets busy around 11pm, and overspill intonthe Street, table or bar service is very fast and you pay as you go, rather than running a tab. Staff are inviting, friendly and English is well spoken. I didn't have food so can't comment on that.“

“Although we stayed on the terrace, in some heat, the experience was very good. Tasty food and attentive staff, it's a place to visit again.

Vegetarian options: Variety of vegetarian options. The chosen dish, tofu, was adequate in quality and presentation.“

“Let me start by saying that I highly recommend it!In addition to the food being tasty and very well prepared, the service was excellent and everything at a very good price.We were 5 adults and 3 children and everything went flawlessly.If you're around, be sure to visit!“

“I discovered this restaurant by chance, as my first option had a queue as long as a taxi rank on New Year's Eve. But sometimes there are evils that come with good. After a quick search, I discovered this space and as soon as I arrived there I noticed that there was a very pleasant aroma in the air and I also noticed that there were several people eating what seemed to me to be gizzards! I then deduced that the pleasant aroma must have come from the gizzards! When I sat down I opted for this dish and I honestly think it was the best I made! The gizzards were delicious (almost as good as the ones my father makes) and were so well served that I had to ask for a box (and a bag to carry it) to eat the rest for dinner. Mr Fernando's service was always friendly and efficient, nothing to write home about! See you soon!“

“SPEECHLESS. DONA EMERALDA IS A LOVELY PEOPLE AND A BEAUTIFUL PROFESSIONAL. WE ARRIVED AFTER LUNCH TIME, HOWEVER, SHE MADE A THING TO MAKE MEAL ON TIME. EVERYTHING WONDERFUL. FANTASTIC SARDINES, WONDERFUL PORK. ALL ACCOMPANIED WITH A GENEROUS DISH OF PUNCHED POTATOES. A PLACE OF LOVE AND COMPETENCE. YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY WITH SIMPLICITY. TAKE A SWEEP THERE.“

“It doesn't get more authentically Portuguese. It's not all that efficient at the meter-long counter in the pipe drawer, with a funny triangular dining room on the other side of the place, where you can be amazed at how much even marble wears out under decades of soles near the stairs. Good coffee, reasonable ice cream, good pastries and friendly staff. No one is in a hurry and regular customers will strike up a conversation about literature with you. You have to speak Portuguese.“

“An amazing restaurant with the best ever ribeye steak- and a fabulous Camembert starter too. We arrived on a very wet Thursday in the first week of January so not much was open and our hearts were sinking. The extra research to find this restaurant was worth it and we highly recommended it. As good as the restaurant in Porto we celebrated my hubby’s 60th birthday and much cheaper!“

“What a wonderful evening. Food was fabulous, I had ribs and husband had the salt cod. Such a personal experience, can tell its a family run affair. One of our best meals in Portugal. Wine was superb, service great and chef entertained us after dinner at the piano! When in Tomar you must stop here.“

“In an out-of-the-way area, 8 minutes walk from the campervan area. Simple cuisine and family atmosphere. We cannot give an overall opinion because we each had a Francesinha (forget your knowledge of dietetics!). Extremely kind owner, shaded terrace, calm.“

“Without a doubt a space to return to, from the friendliness of the entire staff, Antonio and João always attentive, super friendly and super welcoming, we loved it!!
The food is divine and the "vicar's secret", try it, you won't regret it! For dessert we opted for the waffle... very good too!
In the end, João brought us to taste a cherry sangria, we cried for more and a treat from someone who knows how to receive that delighted us and encouraged us to come again without a doubt, Gratitude Claudia & Alberto the new neighbors“

“I had the salmon dish, it had a crust of bread crumbs and garlic on the top and came with sliced potatoes and veg and also salad. Great value for the money.“

“Canadian family of six just had the best meal here. My father and I both had the Piri-Piri Chicken and I have to say it was the best meal we have had on our 3 week tour or Portugal. Best chicken we have ever had anywhere. You have to try this dish. My mother, wife and daughters all enjoyed their meals as well. The service was great as well. We will go back here for sure.“

“Many restaurant choices in Tomar, this is a great choice. Our waitress Ana was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, and her recommendations were perfect! Located but a few hundred metres from the castle, this was a fantastic choice for lunch!“

“(Translated by Google) Birthday lunch for a family member who lives in Francos excellent homemade cuisine beautiful service.

Congratulations(Original)Almoço de aniversário de um familiar que mora em Francos excelente cozinha caseira belíssimo serviço.

“(Translated by Google) Friendliness, affordable prices, take-away service with generous servings. Place of passage to the entrance of the city.(Original)Simpatia, preços acessíveis, serviço de take-away com doses bem servidas. Local de passagem para a entrada da cidade.“

“Stopped there on a trip to see my father's birthplace. At first I was fooled by its facade, thinking it was a regular place in the middle of nowhere and how I was glad to be proved wrong.The best restaurant I've been to in Portugal by far! Great food, honest prices and superb service.“

“This restaurant has fantastic cuisine when it comes to cod. In 2019, a Portuguese couple told me that the Carrão restaurant makes the best cod in Portugal. I have no doubt. I went now and I didn't know it was necessary to make a reservation but we were allowed to enter with 7 people. The price is not scary and is much lower than those charged in other restaurants.“

“One of the good restaurants in Tomar today. It has a very nice letter; from the secret dishes to the mirandesa steak and a fish cataplana, everything is very well prepared. Very kind staff. Good atmosphere. There are 2 very comfortable rooms and there is also a small terrace for warm nights. All homemade sweets. It is located on Rua dos Arcos in the heart of the historic center. I recommend.“

“In a search for places where it would be recommended to have lunch, we found Chico Elias... and what a good surprise. Right from the phone call made to the reservation, Mr. Franscisco's friendliness and care stood out. The menu suggestion and attention to detail predicted a good reception. And so it was. The attention to service was constant. The cod with meat, a delicious surprise, as well as the lean stewed pork served with cabbage, a comfort. The slices of Tomar sweetened the end of the meal but not without the warm comfort of a traditional grandmother's coffee... a journey back to calmer times when enjoying a coffee on a rainy day. I recommend it and will come back whenever I'm in the area! A little treat!“

“A restaurant with excellent decor.Contrast with the neighboring restaurant which had a huge queue and this one was empty.The initial visit was to this restaurant but the difference between one and the other left us with doubts. The one on the side with 20 people or more in the queue and it's empty.After 1 hour it was full but there was no huge queue at the door.Positive points: the decoration and the beautiful wine list (it's a shame I wasn't accompanied by someone who appreciates it).The decoration of the dishes... everything was decorative.Very affordable dishes can be included as it is not extremely expensive if you don't choose the best wine list.Very tasty black pork. And the sangria made us feel very positive about the alcohol.Less positive points.The veal meat was a little tough but nothing that wasn't bearable.1 employee manning the counter and room is not enough, as in addition to forgetting orders, the assistance was not the same for us compared to other customers.We went on a Sunday and found that there weren't many restaurants open, which made it a very smart option.“

“It was an excellent experience.We were very well taken care ofTasty and freshly made food, we varied the dishes and they were all very good, the spaghetti portion could be a little bigger.The pizza is very good, several sizes and very well made and tasty.The clean and peaceful environment.I recommend going there if you go to Tomar.Congratulations“

“It wasn't the best day to visit, as there were two large groups for lunch.That's why the smaller tables were a little lighter.But the food was well prepared and well served.They took a long time, it took a long time to serve.Lunch was ordered at 1:30 pm and we only finished eating at 4:00 pm.But if there is time, just go for it.“

“A really nice local restaurant with really affordable food that's tasty! The waiters are really nice and overall everything was good.The restaurant was giving "local restaurant vibes" but hey other then that everything was good.“

“A family run restaurant - mom in the kitchen, dad and 2 grown kids serving. The restaurant it self is nothing to look at it's a big room with wooden tables and chairs. But this is the best meal have have had in a long time. Real home cooked food. They have a set menu of 4 dishes daily. Chicken, beef, pork, and fish, I had the chicken (it was a casserole with bacon and mushrooms served on wedge chips) my husband had the beef (it was Portuguese steak with chips, tomatoe rice and a fried egg salad on the side) Portions were generous and I ate way more than I should have. Pudim and coffee are included in the price which was fantastic. We will be back for sure.“

“This restaurant was recommended to us by our tour guide while we were visiting the convent and let me tell you it did not disappoint. The food here is exceptional. I ordered the wild boar and my husband got the squid. While the squid was great the wild boar was out of this world. The stew and meat were all so flavorful and delicious we almost argued over the last bites. The restaurant itself was also quite charming and our waitress was both kind and attentive. We really enjoyed our lunch here and would recommend it to anyone visiting the area!“

“Simple fresh and good sums up this restaurant. To the right is the bar and behind door No. 2 is the restaurant side. A causal atmosphere that turns out really good seafood. We enjoyed the Mariscada platter for 2 but it actually fed 5 of us with plenty to spare. The shrimp, lobster, and crab pate were all on point. They served the table “pressurized” wine. Not kidding, it translates to English that way. Which was really good and appropriate for the dish served. The wait staff was attentive and courteous. If you’re in the area and looking for a good meal served in a non stuffy atmosphere (and yes they do have air conditioning) then give this place a try. You will quite simply, not be disappointed.“

“Homemade, delicious food. The subway sandwiches are fantastic, the bread is soft and has a very crunchy crust. The meat was well seasoned. Among many other options.

Parking: There are not many places available as they are between buildings, but there are usually plenty at the end of the street.“

“Friendliness and excellent pastry! I ordered a cake to celebrate my niece's end of term and they were unsurpassed in the care and affection they put into decorating the cake! Redvelvet cake which was wonderful. I will be back to make more orders ??“

“Excellent restaurant!!! We repeat everything!! The octopus salad, the pork in thin strips and the mixed seafood (shrimp, clams and cuttlefish) without a doubt, I recommend it and I would return!! The "after" photo...because I forgot about the "before"“

“It didn't take long for them to show up to take our order.

It didn't take long

I ate bitoque, normal but good

rich restaurant

“The charm of this place lies in its specific atmosphere. It suits me. The food was very good, the octopus salad was delicious. Beer always fresh and cold, friendly service. City center, own parking, you can pay by card, there is TV. I like to eat and drink beer there.“
