We stopped in without reservations and the server made a big deal even though the place was empty. We were led through a maze of small rooms with old wooden tables with mismatched chairs. We told the server that we were referred by the place we were saying and he arrogantly said " Everyone recommends us"like he could care less. His superior and snarky attitude was a real turnoff. We were not super hungry so we ordered a few starters and some drinks. The server who brought our food was very attentive and kind. The food wasn't outstanding, earthmoving or even unique. I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. The greeter stopped by our table, one more time to advise us that the restaurant would be closed tomorrow as a group of 40 Asians rented the place out "because we are so good." His total attitude turned us off. As we left, the restaurant was not even 1/2 full, so I'm not sure why he was put out that we had not made reservations. There are better places to eat in Óbidos. read more

Really nice place with a family feel. We got several tapas/appetizers and they were all good. We like the pork checks, stewed chicken gizzard and potato skins the best. The service was fast and very sweet. read more

Service good. Bifana meh. Other dishes just ok. Salad large and was good. Located outside wall. Many other nicer choices inside wall.

Great restaurant w outdoor seating. The pork cheeks was highlight of all we ordered. Would recommend!

Unfortunately, the waiter forgot one of our entrees, so it wasn't a good experience for us. First he forgot an appetizer order. He explained he was having memory issues because of a recent bout of covid. The food that we DID receive was pretty good. We received a 12 percent discount off the missing entree item for our trouble. read more

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. read more

Great food and good portions ! Try their Octopus! Marco who served was very friendly and help with choosing your meal.

Everyone at Ja!mon Ja!mon knows exactly what they are doing to your benefit. It's a lovely atmosphere with extremely thoughtful and helpful staff whose recommendations you should believe. We follow their suggestions of tapas to incredibly delicious results. The meal here was the absolute highlight of food during a 9-day Portugal trip. Yes, all the food in Portugal is wonderful-- but this place is a cut above. I cannot thank them enough for the care they show in every single bit of that meal. Go. Listen to them. Eat some of the best food of your life. read more

We enjoyed sitting on the outdoor patio here- we felt safe and distanced, and the service was great. The tapas were perfect for our dinner desires. Definitely order the peppers and the cheese pastry, as well as the drunken pear for dessert. And make sure you have time to finish a few jugs of delicious sangria. The red, original is the best. They can seat parties of all sizes on their patio, so it was a great option for our group of 6! We made a reservation on Facebook, but we didn't need it on a Wednesday. read more

We had a lovely appetizer experience. Puffy cheese with apricot jam and nuts and tempura fava beans. The J'amon house wine was a mild white blend. Except after a long day. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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!! read more

After spending the morning touring inside the walls of Obidos we popped outside the wall for some lunch. Having seen positive reviews for this spot we arrived and checked out their lunch specials. We were led through a maze of dining rooms in this "cave-like" restaurant to our cozy table. We each ordered a reasonably priced lunch special - red fish, the vegetable plat du jour, and spaghetti. All were good but nothing that great. The staff was friendly and really hustled given it was quite full. A good option for lunch. read more

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. read more

One evening while visiting Obidos, we had looked up a restaurant on trip advisor, when we got to the restaurant the wait time was 1 hour so we decided to walk around to find another palace to eat. A man was sitting on the sidewalk and said "why don't you eat over there, the food is really good". Well over there was Ja'mon Ja'mon, so we decided to try it out. Some of the best food we have had in Portugal, great wine and service was fabulous since our server was the owner (the man sitting on the sidewalk) who had just opened the business and was more than delightful. read more

Fabulous restaurant with a great outdoor patio. Very innovative menu. We truly enjoyed our time here for lunch. Great service as well.

The food is great. Menu with lsrge offers for tapas. Service very good. The restaurant is very nice with good wibe.

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. read more

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! read more

I was staying in Peniche, and was recommended by a local to come eat here while visiting Obidos. It's slightly hidden after entering a narrow walkway just before the entrance to obidos and right after the parking lot. It was busy full of a mix of tourists and locals. I had the option of sitting inside or outside under some shade. Then I saw a dinner menu but was only given three options: seafood, meat, and vegetarian. I'm guessing the menu changes based on what fresh ingredients are available. The decor, hospitality, and food make it feel like you are eating over someone's house and having a home-cooked meal. A great experience! read more

I was excited to visit this place. The reviews were stellar and it was my first and only choice for Obidos lunch. The host seemed annoyed by our interest and angrily informed me that we had to wait over 30 min. He had no tables available, he said, although the restaurant looked half empty. I attempted to be polite and friendly but he'd have none of it. I could sense that he just wanted us to leave and let him be. What a nuisance an excited client must be! read more

Best meal we've had in Portugal so far. There were variety of delectable tapas and sizable entrees and we opted for pork cheeks, tuna ceviche, sausage stuffed mushrooms, perfectly bread crumb crusted lamb racks, grilled octopus, served with very decent red wine. We topped off the meal with cheese cake (pudding-like). Service was very attentive and super fast despite the restaurant was completely filled as soon as it was opened. It was excellent value for our satisfying meal too. Thank you for making our stay at Obidos memorable! read more

We went on a whim with no reservation but we managed to get in with only a short wait (made shorter with a nice glass of vino). Food was fantastic, Huge portions - you could easily share. They have a small menu but all items look delicious. We had the cod & the octopus - both were superb & the service was fantastic! read more

On the advise of our Airbnb host we walked from our villa to have dinner here last night. She said the place was run by two young men and they were wonderful. I disagree. We were told they were full. No, we could not wait because they weren't seating anyone else that evening. The door was literally shut in my husband's face. Literally bang....lock. Didn't seem to care a local sent us to them. Didn't seem to care we had no plan B. Not an ambassador of Óbidos. Very rude owner. There were no other people waiting and it was just the three of us. He could have welcomed us as no one else was outside waiting. Big mistake. I write food reviews for travel websites. read more

This was, without a doubt, one of the absolute best meals I had on my trip to Portugal. If you go, you MUST get the baked cheese appetizer. It was incredible. My husband got the octopus and I ordered their veal steak, which was enormous, but so delicious I ate every bite of it. The atmosphere is cozy and fun, with the owner sitting down to chat with us and our waiter looking like he was having the time of his life. If you're in Óbidos, you MUST go to Ja!Mon Ja!Mon!! read more

The best meal of our trip so far. We got the oxtail, mushrooms, peppers and croquettes and all of them were excellent. The guys that run the place are really fun, and they know their food! It was all fresh and very flavorful. The ambiance is nice too- stone walls and wood tables makes everything feel historic! read more

Quaint little family run place with dishes of the day to choose from. They open at 12:30 for lunch and 17:30 for dinner. The bread they serve were better than most restaurants in the area. The price is also surprisingly more affordable than most restaurants we visited. read more

Spectacular. Possibly our best meal in Portugal. The homemade bread was chewy and amazing, the food was wonderful, they had great local beer on tap, and the wait staff was funny and helpful. It's also a beautiful building. Definitely worth going outside the walls for. read more

Wonderful lunch is this super cute town. They were closing up for the day but made room for us!! Run by a charming family. Had the fish soup that was outstanding!!! read more

This place was such a wonderful find during a short two-day stay- we ate with them twice and enjoyed it all from the friendly staff, to the delicious food and wine, and down to the homemade bread and butter (I'm typically gluten-free)! Go with the tapas and try the dessert! read more

Really wonderful find! Cute shaded terasse and really lovely, thoughtful dishes. Didn't feel like tourist trap.
