Food: (5 stars) Cod Stuffed Mushrooms: (5 stars) likely the best thing we ordered. Mushrooms with bacon and cheese: (4.5 stars) pretty good but not as good as the cod stuff ones. Sausage and cheese plate: (5 stars) A good variety of both, would recommend if you have a larger group. If it is only two people, would choose something else. (It is a pretty filling portion) Shrimp in Garlic Sauce: (4 stars) this is a very tasty portion, a bit on the smaller side. Caprese salad: (4 stars) it was good, nothing amazing. Pork Sandwich: (4.5 stars) really good, not the best for sharing. They no longer have draft beer, only craft beer for which they charge 4.5 Euros. Service: A bit slow, but nothing horrible. They speak pretty good english. They do not accept foreign (non Portuguese) credit cards, so we had to pay with cash. Atmosphere: (4 stars) There are only a few tables here in a pretty quiet street.

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.

The food is quite good and reasonably priced. We ordered grilled octopus and grilled fish, and fish soup. Our waitress somehow couldn't take our order in time (she was just going around serving other tables). Other than that it was a nice lunch experience.

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.

I figure I should really finish them before they become *hopelessly* obsolete. This place was very much on my list, as I'd heard great things. I will say, I definitely do recommend adding Coimbra to your trip if you're going between Porto and Lisbon, the food here is great (other than one hole in the wall sandwich shop that gave us food poisoning :p.) Granted, this feels like the sort of place where the menu might change completely in 6 months, but if any of it is still there, or regardless, as a feel for the overall quality (i.e. mostly great; slightly inconsistently so). Between the two of us, we tried: The soup of the day - excellent (though, granted, probably not the same soup you'll get if you're there, if it's a "soup of the day"). Bread to go with the soup (has to be ordered separately, but inexpensively so) - also great. A duck croquette appetizer - good but skippable. Not a lot for the price, and the duck was rather drowned out by the sauces (great sauces though). Duck rice... was just ok. Wasn't a lot of duck in it - it was mostly just... rice? Very skippable. Beef cheek stew, omg. If this is still on the menu, don't skip it. A little price for the size, but unlike the other bowl, hearty, filling, and just wonderfully tasty. Also just love how much less of a markup there is Portugal on wine, where a glass of house rose of this quality for the equivalent of 4 euro would be near unheard-of. The food may have been a little pricey, but that was a great glass of wine, for 4 euros.

First of all the weather was perfect, the sun was setting and a local musician was playing acoustic guitar. No reservations yet we got the best patio seating.
