The exterior and interior of the building are delightful, especially at night. The food was delicious, the host very pleasant and patient with us as our Portuguese language skills are terrible. The host started our meal with olives, a seafood pate and bread. I deferred to the host when ordering a bottle of red wine and the selection from the Douro region was perfect with our meal. We were fortunate to be served the Cachena Assada for our evening meal as the dish is usually served during lunch. The meal is prepared for two people and comes with a side of vegetables consisting of cabbage and carrots. There were five adults so ordered two Cachena Assada and the salad as well. The amount of food was perfect. We finished our meal with the fig cheese cake and chocolate mousse.

Again a place I hadn't been to in close to twenty years. It is situated high above Ponte the Lima…read moreat the top of the Madalena mountain, so you need to take a taxi to get there. They re-opened recently and have a bar downstairs and a restaurant upstairs. The views over the valley and of the sun going down over the Minho is as breathtaking as ever, and this time, the food is great. I actually did not order a starter but got four: grilled pineapple chunks with blood sausage (excellent), a small omelet, olives and dried meat. Followed by a succulent octopus arm that had simmered in the oven to perfection. The crema de leite was OK, as was the quarter of alvarinho which they graciously provided (normally, it's by the bottle). All this cost me 23.50 EUR and of course, the price of the taxi. The day of my visit, I was all alone. It looks like foreigners don't know this place. It certainly deserves a visit and I wish them all the luck!
