The ocean views (and even the smell of the sea air) made the whole experience feel special and authentic. We had a group of 20 people for a team gathering, and the atmosphere was perfect--lively, comfortable, and great for a larger party without feeling chaotic. Loved the live tanks with lobster and crab--such a cool touch and a reminder of how fresh everything is. And the desserts... wow. Truly heavenly. Don't skip them.

Our favorite dish by far was the fish stew. This was delicious. It came in a sauce that was quite unique, but suited the seafood really well. We couldn't figure out what was in it though. Even thought its called fish stew, it actually comes with a variety of seafood including fish, eel, shrimp and squid. The dish is meant to serve 2, but it is so big it could probably feed 3. Fried eel was really good too. I've never had this eel fried before, but did enjoy this. Tasted better than fried fish or calamari imo. We wanted to also order fried John Dory, but they only offered fried for some reason, so we got that. It was fairly tasteless... just like standard fried fish. Many reviews complain about the Ipad menu. I have no idea why, because it was really easy to use.

There was so much railing about terrible service. But despite the yes, truly terrible service (they forgot the butter we ordered twice, they didn't know how to use a credit card machine so I had to pay cash, they didn't have the drink I wanted, it was slow even by Portuguese standards even though we were the only people there, etc), we both really enjoyed their feijoada de buzios (whelk bean stew). They said it was their specialty and they were right. It came out massive and absolutely overflowing with plump, mostly tender whelks, in addition to the biggest mussel I've ever seen in my life and a similarly gigantic shrimp. The white beans were cooked just to runniness but the skin still snapped. It was like a beautiful Portuguese gumbo and exactly what we needed after a day of wandering around the beautiful fishing village in which it's located.

Wandering around old Aveiro I found O Batel in a narrow alley and decided to try. It was wonderful. First and foremost the waitress (Eline, if not mistaken). She didn't push for anything and gave me her honest opinion on the food and the portions. I decided by the "petingas em escabeche" and as a main course on the "açorda de gambas" (shrimp with shredded bread). For the record, I'm originally Portuguese and just love that kind of food. I just can say it was wonderful. One of the best I ever tried. I trully recommend O Batel.
