They recently narrowed the menu and still there is something for everyone. There is always a lunch special. There are menus in multiple languages and I have heard the staff speak Spanish, English, German and French- Portuguese of course. There is seating outside but we find the road a bit busy to enjoy. Inside has AC. Wine and beer selection good. We find the prices are very fair for the quality of food, service and atmosphere. Special tip: their desserts are not to be missed and there is WiFi.

We were seated on the outdoor patio, which was perfect on a warm sunny summer day. After perusing the menu, I decided to get the special which was a spicy garlic skirt steak with fries and salad. The steak was very good and came with a nice bit of garlic which gave it a nice kick--it wasn't really spicy, but the flavor was there. The fries and salad were also good, and were definitely a good value for the price. Overall, the meal we had here was outstanding for the town and we had the pleasure of meeting the manager and he was as knowledgeable and friendly as they come. Also, several of the waitstaff were very attentive and chatty, which was a nice touch as well. This is definitely a place to check out when you are in town to grab a bite or something to drink.

The giltfish was seasoned well and cooked properly but the cod was a disaster - it was overcooked and under seasoned.

Not sure if the restaurant went through an unfortunate metaphorphosis.

Excited to try this local 7 table gem while in Coimbra. Lisa E. (always right) suggested lunch…read moresince dinner cues start an hour before opening and waits can be another hour or more. We arrived at 12:05 pm, second in line behind a group of 8. Seated 20 minutes later in cozy quarters. Fresh rustic bread on the table. Menu difficult to decipher but we had a translated copy on our phones. We ordered a jug of house tinto, and half orders of aporcolhados mushrooms, roasted wild boar and grilled ribs with special sauce. The kind waiter said we ordered too much, we didn't agree until a huge crock of rice and beans hit the table with the 2 meat dishes. The mushrooms were cooked with bits of meat and bone as well as slices of traditional and blood sausage. Fabulous! I loved the tender boar slices accompanied by roasted cabbage and potatoes. Lisa favored the slightly charred ribs in a spicy vinegary sauce. Oh, and that rice, I promised her I wouldn't post the photo of her devouring the last bits from the serving ladle. So, too much food? Nothing a outdoor rooftop nap at our hotel wouldn't cure. Breakfast today was the leftover boar with the hotel's scrambled eggs.

This is a Top hole in the wall Gem in Coimbra and probably one of the best in Portugal overall…read more Quality- the pork ribs were my personal favorite. This is the type you spend a lot of time nibbling on and trying to get every last piece of meat out. It was incredibly flavorful with hints of bone broth, truffle oil, and various spices. I think I spent like 5 minutes on each piece trying to get every piece of meat out. It came out piping hot, the fresh aroma smelled like a mix of beans, thyme, garlic, and truffle and I smelled like it afterwards. The lamb stew was also delicious. I am allergic to lamb but had to try it this time and was not disappointed. This is the only time I've actually liked a lamb dish because the gamey flavor was not there. It was cooked very well. The vomit dessert was not too sweet and unique. It cut through the savory food I just had here. Quantity- all of this for 25 euros. Totally worth it. This would have easily gone for 70-80 dollars back in the states. We get a lot in each dish. Atmosphere- loved the college town vibe here. The place was cozy but had enough space so we weren't cramped. Service- awesome waiter. He was funny and gave great suggestions on what to get. Tipped him a lot for the fantastic service.

We were then serenaded by coimbra fado musicians. It was a lovely lunch and although I had no choice in where to go, this restaurant really served great food and the service was excellent. There were a handful of people not associated with the tour also dining here for lunch. Dining with a whole lot of tourists does not seem ideal in my book, but the good news is that this restaurant has a few back rooms that offer a little separation from the main dining room. We started with a puréed vegetable soup. I couldn't tell you what was in it other than it was a bright yellow/orange color. It tasted delicious though. We also had some bread and garlic(?) butter. Also good. I chose the fish. It was like a tuna casserole but sooooo much better. It didn't taste too fishy. The sauce was like a light cream sauce and the top layer was nice and crisp. It came with a small side salad. As we were working on our entrees, the waitstaff came by to ask us if we wanted another helping. It was a lot of food already, but several people asked for seconds because it tasted so good!! For desert, we had fruit salad with a scoop of ice cream and coffee. Everything tasted great. The service was excellent. The waitstaff was quick and attentive. This multiple course lunch was served so efficiently. I was surprised that even though it seemed stressful, the waitstaff all served us with smiles on their faces. Finally, I liked the decor and use of natural light. I didn't really understand the library/book connection, only that it was a cool restraint atmosphere!
