European Restaurants near Torre De Vilela, PT

“Beautiful restaurant, very good, impeccable service and very professional staff, we ate very well, the meal was very generous for an affordable price.Everything was very clean and the decor very sober.Free parking on site and disabled access ♿️ possible.“

“Best attentive service so far in 3 weeks on the Iberian peninsula. Little disappointing they charge for every little thing, even a thimble of butter, but they have a lovely wine list where you can get a split of great wine. Pig is very good with plenty of French fries and salad (additional, as is everything.) The train station is close enough to walk to from Vilela-Formos stop, even if the walk is along a stretch of highway.“

“For a busy day in a restaurant with too many people, I have nothing to say except the suckling pig's temperature is probably a little low. The exemplary staff always willing to help with a smile. They told me it was more pork than suckling pig but as I'm not an expert, I didn't notice and the sauce was divine. Only 4 stars for the atmosphere where there is a lot of noise on a crowded day.“

“Very nice fine dining experience to discover regional flavors from Coimbra. The service was outstanding and we felt very comfortable right from the start. My companion's request for a vegan menu was immediately answered in the affirmative. We both opted for the 7-course menu. Thank you to the whole team for a fantastic evening and keep up the good work ??

Vegetarian options: Vegetarisches als auch Veganes Menü möglich ?“

“This place was absolutely fantastic from the food, the service, and atmosphere. We had many wonderful appetizers and wine and sangria with our fabulous entrees. Still our bill was under €40 per person. So far in my experience (especially with steak), this restaurant has the best food by flavor, texture, and presentation in Portugal.

Trying to look it up the restaurant to give review lands me on a web page with its photos but with addresses in Coimbra vs South of the city. Is it possible there is more than one? I can't imagine anything in the area mapped having an atmosphere to compete with what I experience Southeast of Coimbra. I will be investigating and hoping they are connected by more than name.“

“This restaurant is simply exceptional. Each dish is an explosion of flavors, prepared with perfect mastery. The service is impeccable, with an attentive and warm team. The atmosphere is friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant for an unforgettable dining experience. thank you Jo!“

“Excellent food. Fresh ingredients cooked on the grill outside in front of us. We had the tasting menu and got our money's worth. The owner was kind and took good care of us. The location was so romantic, down a cobblestone street. I felt like I was in another world, coming from thee US. It was magical.“

“Homemade and abundant Portuguese food. One of those restaurants that if you like typical, unpretentious and honest places, you have to save. Located in an alley, it is an old house and adapted as a restaurant. They attended us even though they were about to close and of course, with a smile and wonderful kindness. There were dishes that were already sold out by the hour but we ordered soup, 3 types of grilled fish with their accompaniments and rice with beans and grilled chops that were simply perfect. The half portions are enough for more than one. We didn't get to the desserts but if we return to Coimbra we will definitely repeat. We have left our small works of art there as souvenirs and hope to see them again. ?“

“Service begins at 12:45 p.m.
Very friendly staff, excellent cuisine with very good value for money.
If there is room (not many tables unfortunately) don't hesitate for a second.

Kid-friendliness: Small portion on request

Wheelchair accessibility: Full-length outdoor terrace“

“I start by mentioning that it is my favorite restaurant to taste suckling pig: Without a doubt the best quality and price in the region

In recent years, suckling pig for me has only been served at Churrasqueira Rocha, everything has always been impeccable, from the service, suckling pig, starters, garnish and dessert.

I'm just sorry I can't go more often a year ;)“

“Although we have been a little hot because it does not have AC, that's why my 4 stars, the place is small and picturesque, very well attended by Adriana. Homemade food. As a starter we ordered a dish of the day which was a toast with sardines and peppers: Broa c/ sardine peppers. For the main course we ordered the María Río tasting menu: Bacalhau à rio, Favas à portuguesa and Feijoada de cogumelos. All very delicious, bathed with a green house wine. They speak English as well.“

“Costumer Service: 4
Food (Based on what I've ate): 5
Ambient (desks, chairs, etc...): 4
Calculated average: 4
Wait time: 20m

Observations: This is a great restaurant to go if you are a tourist hoping to try local cousine. The staff is very little but somehow helpful and nice.“

“Quality product and friendly treatment.
Maybe it was somewhat tourist-oriented (there were a lot of foreigners), or maybe it was because of the day/time we went, but in any case it seemed very authentic.
The children's menu is very good.
It is not cheap for Coimbra.

Kid-friendliness: Very good. They have a children's menu.“

“One of my favorite new places in Coimbra! In addition to the wonderful wine cellar, which in itself was a reason to go there, the aged meat, fried potatoes and mushroom rice are my favorites in the city (so much so, that every time I go there I can't order anything else).“

“A great success from Coimbra too. We ordered a plate for 2 and we had leftovers, I'll leave it there. Huge dish of goat cooked in wine for hours... Buff, very delicious, very much. And the perfect grilled sea bream! Ah! And the spectacular homemade caramel slime!!
A place to repeat for sure!
Ah! And you can pay by card!“

“We were eating; all very rich.
Typical food from Portuguese cuisine but with a modern touch, very appropriate.
Croquettes.
Rice with cod.
Octopus.
A kind of very delicious tocinillo de cielo.
High quality raw material.
Good wines.
The super attentive waiter.“

“New experience. We chose daily dishes (lagareiro-style cuttlefish strips and grilled maminha). The daily rate includes soup, dish, drink, dessert of the day or fries and coffee. The quality is excellent and the quantity, considering the price, is also excellent. I recommend.“

“Well prepared food.For my taste;The chanfana was very spicy.Leitão was good, but it doesn't deserve a 45 minute wait.The pear puff pastry with ice cream and the red fruit semifreddo were very good...

Parking: Free own park with lots of places

Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible and has an accessible bathroom“

“We arrived without a reservation on a very busy day, yet they found us a table in a matter of minutes, we were very well received, both the employees and the boss were always worried about our well-being, the dish chosen was a mix that I can guarantee was a One of the best and best served meals I've ever eaten. The owner even comes to present the platter of meat before grilling it, which adds even more charm ?
Everything was really good, congratulations to the team ? we will definitely be back

Kid-friendliness: Chairs available“

“On the advice of a friend who lived in Coimbra we headed here for dinner: very good dishes (we ate meat) accompanied by classic Portuguese side dishes (salad with onions, tomatoes and potatoes). All very good, informal place, attentive but discreet and kind service, very reasonable price (we spent €24 for two!).
To try!“

“Very good cuisine with lots of choice but all homemade, the kitchen brings out the dishes one after the other, everything is organized so you can eat in 3/4 hours max! The grills are very good, hearty dishes, the prices are very reasonable. The wine is good too

Vegetarian options: Few vegetarian options

Kid-friendliness: High chairs available and children's menu

Wheelchair accessibility: Stairs to access the entrance“

“Estive com meu marido no final de semana anterior para experimentarmos a francesinha e a burguesinha e estava tudo extremamente perfeito . Inclusive fomos atendidos pelo adorável Sr Pedro, que foi incrível e nos proporcionou o melhor atendimento que já tivemos aqui em Portugal. Vale a pena conhecer o local, as comidas e o gentil Sr. Pedro .“

“Authentic and great site! The first day we arrived when the kitchen was closed and they fed us anyway, we returned the next day and ate SPECTACULAR rice with octopus and a steak. Ideal portions, accompaniments in all dishes and maximum friendliness. Without a doubt 100% RECOMMENDED!!!“

“Since I arrived, Coimbra has been a place I never stop going to every week. all very good

Kid-friendliness: I've taken children there and they ate very well. The owner as soon as we sat down served papers and colored pencils for the children to have fun. Very pleasant.

Wheelchair accessibility: A small place but with easy access.“

“??: What a wonderful discovery this is.

I went in search of some Coimbra-style migas and ended up enjoying the Açorda that accompanied the fried petinga.
One of the best açordas I've eaten in my life.

All the food was extremely fresh and delicious, even the mixed salad.

I recommend it 100% and will definitely be back.

Not to mention the waiters, the girl who served us first and the man who finished our service. Both of them extremely friendly.

??: What an amazing finding this one

I was looking for a place that served “Migas à moda de Coimbra”, which is a dish made with bread, black eyed peas and cabbage.
I end up delighting on the “Açorda” that was a side dish of the fried “petinga”(small sardine like whitebait)
It was one of the best “Açorda” I’ve eaten in my life.
All food we ordered was fresh and delicious.

I recommend this place 100% and no doubt I’ll be back

Also to mentioned the staff that was so friendly and so nice to us. Always with a smile on their faces“

“Good food with good diversity (no exaggeration, perfect number of dishes) that captures the essence well. Impeccable service, I made a reservation last time and it was the only restaurant in the area that was quick to serve us. I recommend and come back“

“There are 2 national sandwiches in Portugal the Francesinha and Bifana (pulled pork) Sandwich.

Francesinha Sandwich ...ham, steak filet, chorizo, smoked sausage, cheese, toasted bread, sweet red pepper\tomato garlic sauce ?

If you want the best Francesinha in Coimbra then come here. Our guide and BNB host both recommended this place, Café Atenas.
The best Francesinha we've had. Great value and really good expression of a Portuguese classic!“

“The best place to enjoy good food and the best live music in all of Coimbra and part of Portugal. The waiter is very friendly, and has no problem speaking Portuguese, Spanish or English...and surely some other language. The menu is simple but the food is very good at a reasonable price. The best without a doubt, the live music. We have been twice and on one occasion we have enjoyed a fadista and a Portuguese guitar guitarist, and a very excellent concert by Luis Travassos (@luistravassos.oficial), a magical voice and way of singing that turned the evening into something spectacular.

Kid-friendliness: Children can dine without problem and enjoy the atmosphere and music.“

“A Lifesaver in CoimbraExhausted after a long day of shooting, we realized we hadn't even eaten lunch. Asking the hotel receptionist for a recommendation, she enthusiastically declared Arco Bar her "lifesaver."A short walk of 5-10 minutes later, we arrived at Arco Bar. While the exterior appeared intimate, the inside surprised us with a comfortable space accommodating roughly 50 guests. The atmosphere was lively, bathed in the warm glow of numerous ceiling bulbs.Having enjoyed Douro Doc wine for the past three days, we decided to stick with what we knew and ordered another bottle. While we weren't wine experts, the Douro region hadn't disappointed us yet.Our meal began with a delightful spread of olives and bread. Following the receptionist's recommendation, we opted for the grilled black pig, a renowned dish in Coimbra alongside codfish.And let me tell you, the black pig was nothing short of "Delicioso"! This trip, we liberally used the phrase "Out of this World," and the black pig undeniably earned that title.Fries at Arco Bar was equally impressive. Perfectly cooked, it achieved a balance of firm texture without being tough and juicy without being soggy. If I had to describe it in one word, it would be, well, you guessed it – "Out of this World"!While my coworker's shrimp omelet appeared less exciting on the plate, it proved to be light, fresh, and perfect for a pre-bedtime meal.However, the true highlight of the meal was the dessert. While I can't quite recall the specifics, it was possibly a firmer, sweeter version of tiramisu paired with a delightful chocolate mousse. Both were simply divine!The final bill was surprisingly reasonable considering the quality of the food. I left Arco Bar feeling like I could easily dine there every day!“

“Looking for something different and healthy in Coimbra, I came across this space. There is no doubt that the concept of macrobiotics presented here is unique in the city.

If it's my kind of meal? No! Was it worth it? Yes!

Interesting gastronomic experience, as I tried flavors never known before. Balanced, fresh and easy-to-digest dish.

P.s: the cook shows soul and passion in the way he communicates this type of cuisine and way of living“

“This truly was an amazing gastronomical experience. Had been told about this place and it certainly did not disappoint.

I believe the quality of the food is high compared to the prices charged and its certainly enough food. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu, including the wines“

“It was a very pleasant dinner, in which I highlight the following points:
- the kindness of the employees, particularly Mrs. Sandra, who was always attentive.

- the quality of the fresh fish served (Bocanegra) as well as the side dishes that were very well prepared and tasty.

- the space is pleasant and peaceful.

Without a doubt, I hope to do it again!“

“Very tight space. They have a hallway that seats 15+ people but by appointment only.

Prices are 15eur for starters, drink and main course (and coffee).
Alheira, Burger (also vegetarian), prego are available dishes but the dish of the day is quicker

Vegetarian options: I only saw the burger“

“We stayed nearby and have been three times in two days, and each visit is better than the last. Very rich breakfasts, even better service. We traveled with a person who cannot take gluten and they have had a lot of attention with his illness. They are charming. The best of Coimbra.

Dietary restrictions: They adapted breakfast to eliminate gluten“

“My husband, my daughter and I went after reading the good comments, and we were not disappointed...we ordered 3 soups (very similar to Galician broth) and 2 dishes (frango and a typical sausage), 2 desserts and a drink...all for 21 euros and the best thing is that everything was incredibly good...the waitress was super friendly, helped us choose dishes and was very kind to our little one...I recommend it 100%...we will definitely return!Native and incredible place.“

“Massive tasty Italian style pizzas for a really good price. We came pretty early in the afternoon on a Saturday and it was dead, so can't comment on the atmosphere much. The menu doesn't say the size of pizzas, but a small is about 11" and a large 13"+.“

“The atmosphere at Salatina is spectacular, everything is beautiful and well decorated, however I don't know if they don't have air conditioning but the place we stayed was very stuffy which was uncomfortable.
As for the service, very friendly employees, the only thing to note is a slight delay in delivering orders.
Finally, food, the smoked salmon bagel is divine and the brownie crumbled a little but in terms of flavor it was very good. Food presentation also very good!“

“It was a pleasure to get to know this place, different from the usual. Very particular environment, with both a rustic and modern flavour. The cuisine on offer is truly interesting, refined dishes with authentic flavours, the service is impeccable.“

“Without a doubt, the best burger we ate in Coimbra! Delicious, dry potatoes and the mayonnaise is great too. They always have a variety of burger options and the service is excellent, very friendly. Repeating!

Kid-friendliness: All burgers can be ordered in the reduced version.“

“The restaurant is located in one of the largest gardens in the city. The atmosphere is fantastic and the food is well prepared. The service is excellent. We were served by Pedro Daniel. Excellent in every way: helpful, friendly and extremely attentive. I recommend“

“Spécialité portugaise du cochon grillé. C'est une tuerie... vraiment.

Vegetarian options: Beaucoup de propositions à base de soja

Parking: Emplacement facile, beaucoup de places proposées...une cinquantaine.

Kid-friendliness: Oui, apparemment car beaucoup d'enfants présents

Wheelchair accessibility: Une salle disponible en bas de plein pied“

“This is a lovely cafe in a pretty square in part of the old town of Silves. It is a scenic setting with a fountain, castle gate and trees - very pretty. Seating is both inside and outside. Inside looks very characterful and the selection of cakes and fancies was mouth watering. Well worth a visit.“

“I wanted to take my sister to a Michelin Restaurant for her birthday dinner while we were here in Coimbra. We decided to go to Casa do Bragal and we are so delighted that we choose this setting for her dinner. We walked in and it felt that we were in some ones home there were books and paintings all over the restaurant. The tables were set beautifully. We were a little early for the 8:00 PM opening and we were invited in to sit by the owner. When we got to the table it was set with a few different before dinner treats. We had olives, a beet dish, sardines, a type of marinated beans, a mushroom tart & the cheese was adorned with a sweet pepper relish. Our main meals came out under a covered dome and it was enjoyable to have them remove the cover to display the meal. I had the scallops with watercress rice and my sister had the veal with potatoes and spinach. They were extremely tasty. We saved room for dessert since it was a buffet of 12 different choices including, rice pudding, tiramisu, chocolate mousse, flan and many others. The owner was so gracious and helped us make some of our choices, the waiter was so observant that he even turned the light on when I headed for the ladies room. It was such an enchanting evening and we would highly recommend this restaurant to others.“

“Very cute place, super friendly staff, nice background music, and delicious food. The cheese sticks were really good. The francesinha was very tasty. They even modified it for me since I don’t eat mushrooms or eggplant, which were the main ingredients.“

“Very nice place found by chance. The boss does not speak French and very little English. However, he took the time to explain and help us choose. The dishes are very good. I also had a glass of wine which was perfect. At the end of the meal I was offered a glass of port! Prices are correct. We had a great time and attentive staff, it's an address to keep in mind!

Vegetarian options: There is only one dish. I had it and it was very good.“

“A modest and excellent restaurant. Very good and quality meat. Service with the utmost friendliness and attention. Service at the restaurant by appointment and also offers take away. Definitely to be repeated. Despite not being a restaurant in the center, it was an extremely pleasant surprise that I hadn't had in a long time. 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“It's always me and my wife. The service is incredible! We always try new things, since we are not from Portugal. One surprise after another. The environment is calm and peaceful. I recommend going and trying the picanha and the grilled hake!“

“The staff was excellent, the food was very tasty and welcoming and being seated outside during the hottest hours was a bonus.I ate a dish of vegetarian alheira (the best I've ever eaten) and it was part of a very affordable menu. I will definitely go back.

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian sausage with egg, fried potatoes and rice.“

“We held a group lunch, previously agreed, for 74 people and it couldn't have gone better!!! Excellent food (suckling pig and cod) and without fail, very good starters and desserts and varied and quantity of drinks. Very friendly and helpful staff and owner! To be repeated, without a doubt!!!!

Parking: Parking on public roads, no problems.“
