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!

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.

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?

Uma das piores experiências da minha vida. As águas são servidas em garrafas de vidro, e o…read morerestaurante estava a fechar e as nossas garrafas de água estavam a meio. Não nos deixaram levar as garrafas (o que até aí eu entendo) mas também não arranjavam solução pois não tinham copos de plástico. Visto que o estabelecimento estava na hora de fecho, não consegui consumir o restante da água que eu tinha pago, pois era obrigatório deixar a garrafa, independente se ainda tivesse conteúdo ou não. O homem que estava na caixa que acredito ser o responsável, foi a pessoa a quem me dirigi com a maior educação possível e perguntei qual seria a solução. Esta dita pessoa foi extremamente desagradável e mal educada, para além de agressiva, pois tentou agredir me fisicamente e puxou a mão atrás, ameaçando que me partia os dentes (independentemente de eu ser mulher), como não conseguiu (ou possivelmente porque estavam muitas testemunhas no local) o homem empurrou o meu amigo que caiu no chão. Detalhe que esta pessoa nem teve respeito pela criança de 6 anos que estava connosco, ao responder de forma tão violenta. A situação foi tão horrível que um dos funcionários veio pedir nos desculpa. Horrível um estabelecimento querer servir águas em garrafas de vidro mas não ter disponível copos de plástico caso as pessoas não consumam toda a sua bebida no momento. Lamentável uma mulher em pleno século XXI ainda passar por este tipo de situação. Recomenda vivamente que passem longe deste estabelecimento. NÃO A VIOLÊNCIA!!!!!!
