Twice we have been here and both times the meals were fantastic. The restaurant and cafe are clean and well maintained plus the staff are fantastic and very welcoming. The prices are inexpensive. My partner and i had 3 courses plus a coffee and a soft drink each for only 25 euro. The dessert menu is quite extensive with a price range of 2 euro to 3 euro and we will be going through the list. The turkey ( peru) comes with home made chips ( batta frittas, which were amazing ) and rice and salad. Tonight we were going to test out the lamb chops but they were not on menu ( we saw a man and his wife munching on them last time we were there and it was all we could do not to swap plates if the opportunity arose) All in all this place is worth a visit and if like us you live near by you keep coming back time and time again, on saying near by we live 50 mins away but with what is being served and the welcoming ambience it is well worth the drive. We have been around quite a bit now over our first year of living in Cidral and as yet we have never been so delighted with any of the restaurants or cafes but at the 3 roads we cleared our plates on both visits and let me tell you...that for us is a first. There only one thing that i would say is that...there are no tables for two so you may end up having lunch with total strangers BUT hey Portuguese people are awesome so just smile, nod and enjoy. Have a great munch...from...
Read moreWe called into this restaurant on our way back from the Lagar to celebrate a good olive harvest. The restaurant is at the back of the cafe, nicely lit and clean. We ordered the soup of carrot strips which was quite tasty with nice soft bread, then fried chicken escalopes, which were succulent and served with crisps, 1 bowl between 3 people, I hate it when I see these, crisps are a shortcut and cost saving thing instead of chips, and are not filling. The meal wasn't accompanied by salad or vegetables, nor the usual boiled rice, so I then ordered a small salad to bring flavour and colour to the meal. We had a carafe of house red wine, which was good. We followed the meal by having 3 different deserts, which were fairly standard, usual Portuguese sweets that look good but sadly always seem to lack any levels of flavour, other than sweet. We didn't opt for coffee. The meal cost 53 euros, 17.50 euros each, which I felt was overpriced for what was nothing more than a standard lunchtime Prata de Dia at normally 12 euros each and including coffee. The waiting staff were polite and helpful. Not somewhere worth rushing...
