Churrasqueira Mondego — Restaurant in Coimbra

Repeating what many have already said in other reviews: perfectly simple, airy, clean and comfortable dining space with really endearing hosts. Fine value for the money. Fairly typical menu-board offerings but the food was prepared (charred) nicely (for my taste) and the seasoning was nice.

We ate some potatoes with grilled fish (I believe it was dourada). In any case, the place was quiet but good. The food was good. The service was prompt and very good. The quality of the food was very good.

We recommend this place to anyone who is traveling through Coimbra. We may even come back t Coimbra, and if we do, we will pay them a visit if they are still...

Homemade sobremesa were mousse de chocolate, creme caramelo etc. It is what it is and...
