We had the dourado and the linguado. Both were cooked nicely and served with a nice side dish of steamed veggies (collards, cabbage and carrots - quite tasty) and potatoes. Of course, you have to drink wine in Portugal, so we also had a very good white wine from the Douro region. We finished with some really delicious desserts ( chocolate mousse pie and a caramel creme torte - layers of wafer-thin cake with a caramel cream filling) and coffee. It was all very good, and the price was appropriate for the quality of the food, drink, and service. I would have given this place 5 stars if it had been the first place I had dined at in Aveiro, but the night before we had better food for substantially less. You won't go wrong with this place, but you could do better.

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.

The ladies were smiling at all times. The restaurant is not high class but it is very simple which was good with me. My experience of eating out in Aveiro has been that if they put the bread and butter in the table you will be charge for it, which was fine with me as the price was not that expensive but it is always good to be aware of these charges.
