I was recommended to stop in Mealhada to eat roasted pork, and while we weren't sure where to go,…read morewe are so happy we came here. Not just for the great food, but the warm and patient service.
Full disclaimer- I don't speak Portuguese, and while the server didn't speak English, she was very patient and knew exactly what I wanted!
The husband ordered the roast Pork Sandwich, while I just wanted the roasted pork. I wasn't sure about the portion size, but I knew I didn't want a whole or half a suckling- just SOME! And some we got- the perfect portion that allowed me to take some home to turn into sandes later the pork was so juicy and tender- and the flavor was deep and porky (sorry no other way to describe) the chicharron were crispy and flavorful,too. The waitress also served it with housemaid chips a salad of lettuces, agreed carrots, cabbage and tomatoes, and this incredible pepper sauce that packed a powerful flavorful punch!
Thank you for a great experience- and even with the drinks, it was under $30!
