21 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Valhelhas

“An excellent restaurant, known through the recommendation of a friend. Superlative service, extremely attentive to customers. Very well prepared food; the old-fashioned rooster was divine. An experience to repeat, if you return to these parts.“

“Rarely, if ever, did I eat as well as I did here. We ordered some scrambled eggs and a rissotto with a meat that I don't remember the name of, the photo doesn't do it enough justice. And the attention was impeccable, all the waiters were very attentive. We'll be back (as long as we're around haha).“

“We return there every year to eat their excellent fondue bourguignonne. They are always charming, attentive, smiling. Thank you to them for their cordiality and their service which makes us want to come back.

Food & drinks: Fondue Bourguignonne, meat“

“Great restaurant recommended by the person at reception at the cathedral, right next door.
We were alone in the world, served by the boss himself, we gave him carte blanche and we enjoyed his different tapas... and very good ports... go there with your eyes closed!“

“(Translated by Google) Excellent seafood!!! All seafood was great. The children's bitoque was good. Dessert was good. Restaurant staff was friendly. Great experience, to be repeated!(Original)Excelente mariscada!!! Todo o marisco estava óptimo. O bitoque das crianças estava bom. A sobremesa era boa. Equipa do restaurante era simpática. Experiência óptima, a repetir!

Kid-friendliness: Tem disponível várias cadeirinhas para bebé.“

“Very good tasty food. Nice portions at a good price. The only reason this restaurant does not get a 5star review from me is because when I asked to cook a bit more my steak (it was too raw for me), the man which I would say is staff or the owner roll his eyes on my request. A bit of manners need to be learned definitely! Everyone likes steak in a different way... they should understand that better. My steak was perfect afterwards... However, the lady who served us was super nice and polite...
I would recommend the food there, I just won't go there again myself as I didn't have a good experience.“

“we stopped for dinner at this restaurant after a short search online on places to eat in this picturesque town.
We were truly amazed by the quality of the dishes we ate (we asked the waiter for advice and it was all delicious) and by the attention to service.
We asked for two whites by the glass and they continued to top up the glasses throughout the dinner, we thought they would charge us for the bottle but the bill indicated a fee of €4 per person, really honest!“

“I don't give it more stars because it's not possible.
We arrived a little late and wanted to eat and the lovely lady asked us if there were any dishes left and she brought them out very quickly.
Delicious food, great quantity, good price and great atmosphere, I would repeat without a doubt.“

“I ordered cuttlefish and they were delicious. Following the advice of the gentleman who helped me.
I'm glad I booked a table, because it was full.
I will definitely be back, but this time I want to order some seafood...“

“This unpretentious restaurant is a good choice if you are into fresh fish and want a casual meal without coughing up a lot of money. Average prices and good fish. Traditional plates. It´s easy to find, in the middle of a row of eateries along Av Humberto Delgado.“

“Typical restaurant, very pleasant!
A different concept from the usual, 4 dishes are served in tasting mode, wild boar feijoada, rabbit cabidela, oven-baked lamb, roast suckling pig.
Dessert, sweet pajamas: cream cheese with sweet pumpkin, cream milk, rice pudding.
Friendly service as is the atmosphere.“

“For families and couples I recommend it without hesitation. Cozy atmosphere, genuine people and fantastic food. In the heart of the mountains, one of the most charming villages in Portugal, Manteigas is close to our hearts, with Alfatima being our favorite restaurant! I strongly advise you to visit this place, as Alfatima has no equal! Big hug to the whole team!“

“Four people ate. Excellent cod and goat. The first coated with mashed potatoes, green and red peppers. The stewed goat. Washed down with a wonderful reserve white wine from the area. And for dessert, cottage cheese pudding and berry panna cotta. EVERYTHING EXCELLENT. Super recommended.“

“Cozy place, friendliness and simplicity of the people who work there. Very good grill-based food, more than enough quantity and very good price. I totally recommend it to anyone who isn't picky about etiquette and decoration. I had three meals there.“

“This restaurant brings the best food experience of Serra da Estrela. Each menu is a peace of art ?. The house wines. This is something that nobody should skip. The house wines are made from the family running this restaurant and what to say except amazing? If you are in Serra da Estrela ? you have to visit this restaurant. A M A Z I N G“

“A good place. Adequate and original food. They have children's dishes. The five stars would have been missing:
- Don't make you wait so long between dishes.
- Somewhat more intense flavor.

Kid-friendliness: Correct. They have children's dishes.“

“Everything 5 stars. From the moment we arrived at the hotel, everything was very beautiful, clean, in order and the reception was fragrant. The restaurant is very beautiful and cozy, and the staff are kind and attentive. The fireplace in the middle of the room makes everything better. Try the starter breads, made right there. Everything was divine, olive oil, butter and the best olive pate I've ever tasted. We love the regional red wine and especially the dishes (angus and carré). Thank you so much for giving us such joy ♡“

“Great restaurant!
If you are looking for friendliness and kindness then you have come to the right address.
No fuss, here the dishes (typical Portuguese) are copious and succulent, the service exceptional with a waiter who will take care of you.
To top it off, the very reasonable price which pushes you to tip out of embarrassment at not having given enough for their more than honorable services. Thank you again ❤️❤️❤️“
