António Padeiro — Restaurant in Alcobaça

I had lunch in this restaurant on 08.15.2020. The only thing I liked was the decor. The food was mediocre, with very little flavor and the "esparregado" tasted like baking soda (tasted very bad). But, worse than that, it was the lack of hygiene that I noticed: the various desserts were spread out on a wide uncovered tray which strolled from table to table, so that customers could choose what they wanted - customers without a mask, who spoke to employees and on top of all the desserts (which were a mere 5 centimeters from the customers), not only to choose what they wanted, but also to comment at length on how the main dish was.

I don’t believe this will result in any repercussions considering this treatment has happened to other customers in...

Abusive treatment because of our speaking English. Went to this restaurant with my wife on the advice of Trip advisor reviewers. Our dining experience was constantly interrupted by a man who was on very friendly terms with the waiters. He would stop them as they tried to deliver meals. The man involved seems to be very friendly with the staff so may be an owner or is some way connected. This man later accosted my wife verbally by shouting "This is Portugal and in Portugal you speak Portuguese Not English." My wife retorted that that was rude and at this point he proceeded to mock her in Portuguese to the waiting staff. What amazed us is that the restaurant staff just simply allowed this to happen and did not come to our rescue. I would suggest you STAY AWAY from this restaurant if you are not a...
