My husband had the squid and said it was great. I got the "barbecue" chicken which was grilled with a yummy just-smoky-enough char. (I was worried I might have a US style sweet BBQ sauce). It was seasoned with just-enough salt and whatever else was used, was perfect. We really appreciated the Portuguese authenticity of this little restaurant... many locals were dining here on the day we went. A final note -- we loved that there was a sink to wash your hands right by the entrance. Highly recommend this little gem in Guarda.

The food is fresh, uncomplicated and well prepared by a knowledgeable chef. The table service is excellent. We had grilled salmon and potatoes, steak with rice and beans and a bitoque.

We were served by a charming lady who spoke really good English and made excellent recommendations. We had a lovely meal -bread, cheese, olives, fish patés, a massive piece of veal, green vegetables, 1/2 litre of local wine and pudim - and it cost €25. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and it was outstanding value.

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!
