“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.“

“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!“

“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 ?“

“The food was very tasty. We had bife de frango com molho de cugomelos and Peru de espeto. They are masters of the grill. The service was friendly and family-like. We were able to sit outside on the cozy shaded terrace.

Parking: There is a narrow street next to the building that leads to a parking lot.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We had lunch reservations and our food was served in a timely manner. Everything was excellent and all four of us we're happy with our service and food. I like it when I ask for water or salt or anything extra and it actually shows up, we didn't ask to ask for anything a second time. I ordered a Sangria pitcher and it was great. I drank it all by myself and I usually don't drink a lot of alcohol. LOL! At the end of the meal I got a coffee and it was brought out with extra steamed milk which was a wonderful surprise. The restaurant is very cute inside, and there is exterior seating. After eating we took a walk through the beautiful park across the street. It has a lot of water and was very tranquil with a beautiful water wheel in action.

Parking: Beware of street parking, we couldn't find the paid parking ticket machine. So, we thought there were no fees as I didn't see paid parking tickets in any other car windows. Unfortunately there was a ticket on our window from the police when we came back to our car it cost 30 Euros. For those who are driving rental cars if you are ticketed you can pay it at the police station in Tomar, otherwise it's attached to the license. Station pay department is only open until 4 and it seems no one is there on Friday. It turns out we just missed the parking lot, oops, and ended up parking elsewhere by mistake. We will be going to the restaurant again because it was a wonderful experience and understand where to park, so no fault but our own. The machine to pay parking wasn't so far away, I guess we just weren't looking hard enough. I was hungry ..“

“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!“

“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.“

“Cozy and modern space. The outdoor patio is very pleasant for a meal, whether for lunch or dinner.
Different and tasty starters.
We ordered Belpaço and Lagartos steak with fava bean puree, however the cod dish also seemed quite interesting. We didn't order desserts.
The price was a little higher than we expected.
It's worth trying.“

“A nice Italian restaurant in Tomar. Beautiful terrace. Food is good .Great Italian cuisine but unfortunately service is very very slow . Around 40min..wait before starters arrived and even longer wait before we had our main courses. This should have been easily resolved if they had 1 or two more waiters. They seem to only have 2 waiters even when the place was quite busy. Service was not only slow but confused. Otherwise it could be a very good restaurant. We were unfortunately disappointed.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“
