Cisco - Cozinha Tradicional — Restaurant in Almeirim

There are not enough words to praise this restaurant. I got married this summer and I was looking for a restaurant for a small group celebration (we were 20 people). I was suggested CISCO, which I didn't know, so I read some reviews and got in touch with the owners. The chef and his wife, Alexandre and Mariana, were absolutely fantastic from the start! I didn't have everything figured out about how I wanted the lunch to be, so even though they had never hosted a wedding before, they made suggestions for the menu, for the setting of the room and for the decorations. This was of great help, because I was not in the country and wasn't going to be until the day of the ceremony, so I had to trust that everything was going to work, but from the very first moment I felt I was in good hands. When the day came, I could not have asked for anything more. We had the restaurant to ourselves and the entire team looking out for our needs. I think they were a bit nervous when we arrived, because it was their first wedding, but it was amazing to see that a few minutes later, they did all the adjustments they needed and were absolutely in gear! The room was decorated with flower arrangements and very delicate details, such as porcelain dolls that represented the bride and groom. There were no exaggerations, it was beautiful, elegant and very tasteful. The food was SUPERB! We had several courses, and I still cannot decide which one I liked best. The appetisers were fantastic, the fish courses, one of which is a soup, the meat, the deserts... all were an absolute delight to the palate. The wines that were served with each course were also a match made in heaven. And of course... the cake! It may have looked simple but it was exactly what I wanted. And what mattered most... it was absolutely delicious! Even though it was the end of the meal and we were all full, we could not resist it! Our guest were also marvelled at everything and kept praising the choice of restaurant and menu. Having my wedding lunch at CISCO was, without a doubt, the best choice for such an important day. They could not have made that day any better. They were the perfect hosts! Before the day they help me make the decisions and on the day they took care of everything. Thank you so much!! This review does not focus solely on the food, because CISCO is more than that! It's a talented team, with great taste, which serves exquisite food! Go to CISCO and you are sure to have an...

Podemos argumentar que existem vários restaurantes em Almeirim, com história e tradição, e que servem diariamente a famosa “sopa da pedra”, entre outros pratos, a milhares de comensais que por ali passam.

Mas hoje vamos falar-vos de um dos nossos restaurantes preferidos naquelas paragens. Para nós o melhor restaurante de Almeirim do chefe Alexandre Albergaria “O Cisco”.

Conhecemos este restaurante desde a sua abertura, há quase 6 anos, e tem mantido a sua consistência tanto a nível da cozinha como a nível do seu serviço de sala. As mesas vestidas com toalhas e guardanapos de tecido proporcionam à sala um requinte e um ambiente mais sofisticado. Um espaço relativamente pequeno e acolhedor que nos faz sentir sempre em casa.

A nossa última experiência foi em Fevereiro de 2022 e temos sempre uma dificuldade enorme na escolha dos pratos, porque apetece-nos pedir toda a carta e saímos sempre a rebolar.

Começamos com o couvert, uma seleção de pães, manteiga de ervas (coentros, alho), queijo seco, azeite Quinta da Lagoalva e azeitonas aromatizadas.

Seguiram-se uns Pezinhos de Leitão de coentrada, esta entrada é repetente nas várias incursões ao Cisco, o destaque é mesmo a textura, o sabor e o respectivo pão frito que acompanha. Vale mesmo a pena experimentar. 12,50€

Arroz de línguas de Bacalhau é um prato fantástico. O arroz malandrinho, cremoso, muito bem acompanhado com umas línguas cozinhadas no ponto certo. Este é um prato reconfortante que nos enche a alma. 22€

Para finalizar um rabo de Boi com puré de batata trufado, a carne cozinhada na perfeição. Prato adequado para os dias frios de Inverno. Muito bem confeccionado. 22€

E voltamos a pecar com um Bolo de chocolate e como pecado que é não vamos falar dele, o melhor mesmo é prevaricar 5,50€

Bebemos brancos, Conde Vimioso Sommelier 2020 (excelente) 14,50€ e Casa Cadaval Reserva 2018 (já era) 16,00€

Dicas: Pratos da época, sável, caça entre outros. Ao almoço em dias de semana há prato do dia com a mesma qualidade e a melhor preço.

E por que é essencial para nós? Porque não conseguimos...
