    Coffee over ice
    Angelo B.

    Stopped by for lunch. It's in the busy part of the area, and had quite a few guests. I ordered the Octopus salad which was actually quite tasty and came with a generous amount of octopus. It was cooked well too. I had some of my wife's pasta as well which was actually pretty bad. Not very flavorful and the pasta was a bit over cooked.

    Pota Tentacles (octopus tentacles, punched potatoes, roasted pepper)

    Recommended by the local guide we had, Nicola was centrally located and had a variety of menu options. We were seated outdoors and were able to people watch while enjoying lunch. Service was attentive and helpful when we asked questions about recommendations.

    A Cozinha da Maria - Chanfana (goat)

    Get here early as the tables filled up within 15 minutes of opening (seems like they may accept…read morereservations). This was our best meal visiting Portugal five days in. Not to say we didn't have alot of good food, but here each dish received high marks. The chanfana is the local special, so would highly recommend you get that. All of the meat was done well... Crispy outside and fall apart, fork tender on the inside. The staff were also very friendly and personable.

    Went here based on yelp review. It more than lived up to the recommendation. It was small and…read morequaint and very Portuguese. Our waiter, Raphael, was courteous and helpful with the all Portuguese menu. We ordered the house white wine and a bottle of still water. The wine was very good but very inexpensive. We started with soup, my wife with vegetable and me with seafood. While hers was good, mine was rich and flavorful and excellent (I had others in Portugal but this was the best). Then we had salad and chorizo sausage. Salad was adequate, but the sausage was done to perfection. Then came my wife's entree of pork cheeks with potatoes and a delicious cabbage mix. I had their goat, served in a pot with a luscious gravy that was perfect for dunking your bread in. With it were boiled potatoes and spinach. The spinach was pan seared with oil and garlic. The potatoes went well with the abundant gravy. Topped it off with the home made almond cake with a side of ice cream. All this for 75 euros. We came back to our hotel stuffed and satisfied. The only problem was yelp has the address wrong. I have included in the photos their card with the correct address, about a half block from the old one. By the way, they do take credit cards. Enjoy!
