Several rooms to choose from, and dishes served quickly and good but without any sense of being in a hurry. Adding to the homey atmosphere are at least 2 cats and a dog who keep to themselves but may stop by and say hi. The menu is easy and good. Tapas are big serving sizes so 2 are plenty unless you're really looking to pack it in.

The outdoor patio is covered with a grapevine canopy and filled with fruit trees, and could not be a more inviting spot to soak in the history and charm of Coimbra. We chose the comfy easy chairs and a bottle of rose vinho to take a break from sightseeing and it's was an absolutely perfect way to end our afternoon. If you are looking to get away from the bustling touristic center of Coimbra then cross the river and relax at the Galeria.

Don't skip the Pork a Portuguesa if you're hungry and it's your first visit. The espresso is the best I've had in Portugal, and I've visited over six major cities so far. The staff is accommodating to foreigners (I speak English) and very polite. Food comes out fairly quick, so no worries if you're on a time schedule (apart of a tour group).

I went to this restaurant after a hot walking tour of Coimbra University. The service was slow. I…read moreordered a cod dish with potatoes. The cod had a very strong fishy smell (which means that the cod was old). The potatoes tasted uncooked & were crunchy! I attempted to take 3 bites, but the dish was unedible. When notified the young-looking male server, he became very upset & yelled at me. He said that that was what I ordered & it was my problem I did not like it. When asked to speak to the manager, he laughed & said that he was the manager. Needless to say, one star is still top generous!! Don't ever stop here!!

After…read morespotting the famous fountain where you can load up on luso water we spotted a small cottage in the corner of a courtyard across from the fountain next to the hotel. We hesitated but walked in, sat down and we were warmly greeted and given menus in English. The menu descriptions don't do the food justice at all, the toasted breads were amazing and perfectly portioned. We randomly decided that we were in a tea mood and the lovely owner brought over a selection of all of their teas so we could smell and sample which we would like to try. The decor is quaint and cozy and looks as if it came straight out of a Pinterest board.

I go for the sweet side of the counter but the mini quiche and onion-shaped breaded chicken are fabulous. They have two huge spaces to sit in as well as room outside on sunny days.
