    Zé Manel dos Ossos - Chanfana (traditional goat dish baked in oven in clay pot)

    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 have been coming to Batista for several years during our multiple trips to Portugal every year…read more We live in the United States. A reservation was made for 6 people, my cousin was visiting Portugal from Boston. I mentioned to the service manager our desire for my cousins to have a great experience at Batista, similar to what we've experienced over the years! The quality of the Cod is the best, grilled to perfection always!!! You will enjoy your Cod I guarantee you! However, the service was the worst we experienced and expected!!! Literally waited 10 minutes to get waiters attention and he kept ignoring us. We know this is August, service goes down just about everywhere in Portugal as August accounts for busiest month. Besides unexpectedly bad service, the portions were not equitable as what other tables were served! This was true of several tables we saw around us. The service manager brought us another portion of Cod which I refused several times. My comments were aimed at improving this great restaurant, unfortunately my experience was awful with service, rushed, brushed off -- this takes away the 5 stars I would give Batista. In closing, Batista in August may need to be avoided or reconsider a different place, I certainly will do that going forward!

This secret spot is definitely where the locals eat. Greeting us was a nice aroma of grill, wine, and garlic. The large dining room was packed with a boisterous lunch crowd who were really enjoying themselves. The ambiance was plain, and clean, the fare is authentic, and the staff fantastic and accommodating. We were a bit overwhelmed by the fullness and merriment of the dining room and being Covid adverse asked if we could have an outside table. They wouldn't have us sit outside on a cold windy day and led us to a sparsely populated back dining room, which felt more intimate and safe. The place is family run, sister, uncle, brother, grandparents; they work here. They love food. They love people. You can feel it in the air. You had the sense that even the crowd in the dining room were extended family. Traditional hospitality since 1972 we were told. The food is good basic Portuguese and lots of it. Wonderful fish grilled over an enormous BBQ was what we chose. They don't skimp on portions. Be very hungry if you visit. You'll need the room. Come as strangers, leave as family. Highly recommended.

We walked on black capes entering the venue as a sign of welcome. The tables were fully set. Red and white wines were there. We had choices of lunch items. The pureed vegetable cream soup had a wonderful flavor. Before our entrees a classical guitarist, a lute guitarist and a vocalist performed, wearing the black student capes of the university. Such a treat!! My entree was shredded codfish with creamy potatoes and chopped salad. Delicious. Dessert was ice cream with fruit. Recommend for large groups. I have not had a regular dinner here.

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!
