Restaurant is very spacious. Tables were set up mostly for 4. And outdoor seating was not set up in winter. Place is clean and modern too. Outside looks like a museum rather than a restaurant. Some staff don't speak very good English and missed our orders but it didn't dampen our appetite. It's a Michelin 2018 too! Highly recommend

And if you like the head, we were able to add it for an extra 5 Euro. A no-brainer as far as we were concerned. This is a big place with a lot of tables, however the service was very efficient and friendly.

Once we got through that, the food didn't take long to be served and everything ordered by our party of four was very good. Two ordered fresh fish from the fish display, one ordered the spaghetti with seafood, and I had a steak. The exception to everything being good was the rice, which was on the hard side. We ordered coffee and dessert and also enjoyed that. We ordered ice cream and pana cotta. Overall a good experience and we recommend Burro Velho.

The service was great - the servers spoke English and had a a menu we could read. Between that and recommendations from our guide and the servers, we enjoyed an excellent meal. Octopus, fish, bacalhau, steak and all the sides were most excellent and fresh. We washed it all down with Vinho Verde and Sagres. It really was a wonderful lunch and worth a second visit when we return to Portugal!

The place is located on the second floor overlooking the magnificent Batalhia monastery. There were 3 of us. Knowing how huge typical Portuguese portions are, we decided to order two entrees and share. Each of us ordered a soup, though. For entrees we had a veal stew with vegetables and a cod fish with potato chips and a salad. Both dishes were audio awesome, especially the stew. It was so succulent and the sauce was excellent. The cod was a big piece of actual fish in a thick tomato sauce with shredded onion and carrots. So yummy and filling! All of it and a bottle of wine costed us about 35 euros - quite reasonable in my mind. The service was very friendly and quick. Ambiance nice and did I mentioned the view out of the window?

I order their menu of the day with fish and just to be on the safe side in case i don't like the preset selection i ordered lamb chops. The fish menu of the day consisted was pure dejections with half a pile of rise mixed with cheap ketchup and chuck of fish testing of overused oil. The sides of the main dish were barely edible. The sautéed vegetables turned out to be burned spinach with rise and the soup was salty and flavorless. My lamb chops were plain fat with an accursed taste. The waitressed overcharged the bill which she corrected when i pointed her the mistakes but i noticed that she actually charged pork chops even though i explicitly and repeatedly pointed her on the menu to the lamb. I became instantly nauseated and disgusted. I do not eat pork. The prices of this place a low to mid-range but the quality of the food place it next to a latrine. Save yourself a food poison and avoid this place.
