    Pork cheeks
    Jennifer H.

    Nice tapas place when visiting Obidos! Sadly the only 4 person table was right next to the bathroom, so not the nicest place to sit. My favorite tapas that we got here were the pork cheeks (super tender and juicy) and the cockles (tasted fresh and flavorful). Our group also got the blood sausage, but I'm usually not a fan so I didn't eat much. We also got the croquettes and the fried cuttlefish, both of which were just all right. They weren't super crunchy.

    Written as Ja!mon, Ja!mon on the sign. We were lucky enough to find our hotel (Hotel Real Obidos) in the same cul de sac/dead end as this delicious spot. And lucky because it was poring rain when we headed out. Be aware the cobblestone streets are very slick when wet. Jamon, Jamon is a petiscos (Portuguese tapas) restaurant. Small plates to share and enjoy as many as your appetite will allow. It's one of our favorite styles of eating so as to experience numerous local flavors. Our server was very patient with us as we tried to make our decisions. We were presented a basket of bread with butter and some olives. This occurs almost anywhere you dine in Portugal. If you try it, you will be charged. If not interested, just ask them to remove it. Today, we chose to partake. The breads looked delicious, one clearly made with corn. Similar to a heavy crusted corn bread. Served with an herb butter, both were delicious. A server came by while we looked over the menu with a plate of what looked like tempura fried beans. Which is exactly what it was. A specialty of the house-fried local runner beans. These are much larger than traditional green beans. Immediately we knew we had to try them. Unfortunately, they were the one disappointment of the meal. Clearly made ahead of time, they were a bit greasy and neither crisp nor hot. Served with a dip akin to a garlic aioli, this made them more palatable. Three plates really caught our eye-pork cheeks in a wine sauce, asparagus risotto, & head and tail on shrimp in olive oil, lemon, and garlic. These three dishes were outstanding. Tender pork was served in a rich wine sauce, the risotto was fluffy rich, and include still crisp asparagus tips, and the shrimp-while a bit of a chore-sweet and garlicy. The sauce made a great dip for the white loaf bread in our basket. Not a crumb was left of any of these. Our server was very attentive, wanting to know if everything was to our liking. The Portuguese people we have interacted with everywhere have been so personable and here was no exception. Dessert was an easy choice. Chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. The cake was deeply flavorful if a bit dry, but the ice cream took good care of that. We wished our stay in Obidos was longer so we could enjoy dining here at least once more. Next time. Recommended. Note-my photos are not very good here. Sorry.

    Amazing little restaurant in the outside skirts of the Castle Walls in Obidos. We got lucky and were able to try them twice for lunch. This quaint and cozy place offers homemade dishes that will leave you wanting more. oh and please try their bread! it's freshly made by them and is not available for purchase, we were lucky enough to meet the owner and told them we were so pleased by the bread he was kind to give us two loafs to take back with us! Make sure to make reservations for dinner otherwise you won't find a spot available. The staff is so attentive and warm, they will make your experience a true delight.

    Amazing food and the service was even better, we arrived a little before 7pm but they sat us down and gave us bread while we waited for the kitchen to open. We ended up there both nights as the kids ate their whole meal !! Tapas: Cuttlefish Plate of fries Pork cheeks - OMG Croquettes with sausage Spicy sausage, kind of tastes like chorizo but skinny Steak with cheese sauce - delicious For desert we had a passionfruit custard, and kinder mousse , both phenomenal. They had jelly for the kids! Would highly recomend this place, the portion sizes are very generous take their advice when ordering, we went against their suggestion and ordered to much but glad we got to try it all!!

    We made a reservation we ahead of time to make sure we had a spot to try out these wonderful Portuguese dishes. It did not disappoint. Service was excellent and food was top notch. The price was very fair.

    We did a day trip to Obidos from Lisbon and Jamon Jamon was our sole choice to dine at while we were in town. They offered a few lunch specials that were listed on the sign board outside, and all the entrees were very reasonably priced. We tried their salted cod, grilled pork in a cream sauce, and a pork stew which consisted of all kind of yummy pig pieces (pig's feet, sausage, leg meat, etc). The salted cod fillet was a very generous portion size and all dishes were accompanied with rice, fries, or potatoes as your accompanying starch. When we went in November, they were doing some kind of renovation on the roof, but they were completely opened so don't let that deter you from stopping in. They're located off the main streets that weave through Obidos Village but they're worth the very short walk.

    Pork cheek

    Had dinner at A Nova Casa de Ramiro the night before. I have to say we prefer Ja!mon Ja!mon much better. The three of us had two tapas and two main dishes as the waiter recommended. It was just perfect. The ox tail and pork cheek were so tender. it melted in your mouth. The atmosphere was very cozy and warm. We loved it!

    See all
