O Javali — Restaurant in Idanha-a-Nova

I recently had the pleasure of dining at O Javali restaurant in Penha Garcia, and I must say it was an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that immediately set the tone for a memorable meal.

The first thing that struck me was the authenticity of the local food served at O Javali. It was clear that the chefs take immense pride in showcasing the rich culinary traditions of the region. I had the opportunity to savor some truly outstanding dishes that highlighted the flavors and ingredients unique to Penha Garcia. The freshness of the ingredients was evident in every bite, and each dish was a perfect blend of traditional recipes and modern culinary techniques.

One dish that stood out for me was the Bacalhau à Brás, a Portuguese classic made with salted codfish, eggs, and potatoes. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the texture of the codfish was sublime. It was a true testament to the skill and dedication of the kitchen staff.

But it's not just the exceptional food that made my visit memorable; it's also the outstanding service provided by the staff at O Javali. They were incredibly gentle, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. They were more than willing to offer recommendations and answer any questions I had about the dishes. Their warmth and hospitality added an extra layer of enjoyment to my dining experience.

The ambiance of the restaurant itself was cozy and charming, with rustic decor that paid homage to the local culture and history. It was the perfect setting to enjoy a meal that celebrated the culinary heritage of Penha Garcia.

In conclusion, O Javali restaurant in Penha Garcia is a hidden gem that offers a truly exceptional dining experience. The combination of delicious, locally inspired food and a staff that goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome makes it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the region. I wholeheartedly recommend O Javali to anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable...

Truly appalling attitude. The restaurant was a bit busy but nothing extraordinary and the management simply was not helping clients. Waited 1 hour for a table when we were told that it would be a maximum of 20 minutes (all of this inspite of the restaurant having several clean free tables). After we sat down they took another 20 minutes just to give us the menu (after we complained the management told us that they were overwhelmed even though 2 people just sat behind the bar the entire time not doing much and refusing to go and help out the table serving staff). Had to walk out in the end without eating and went to another restaurant down the road (where we were served efficiently and without any fuss). This other restaurant was also busy but had sufficient staff and a much better management and attitude. Restaurante Javali has a very Bad Management and Attitude and gives out a very Sad Image of Beira Interior. Avoid at...

Se encuentra situado al lado de una gasolinera, si no estás atento o no has ido nunca, te lo puedes pasar. Hay bastante sitio para aparcar. Normalmente cuando vamos reservamos por teléfono para asegurarnos que tienen sitio, se suele llenar bastante, sobre todo nacionales españoles y findes. No nos cogieron el teléfono y fuimos un poco a la aventura, tuvimos suerte porque aunque era domingo había mesa para poder comer. La comida es bastante abundante, si pides arroz para tres, salen al menos para comer seis personas está rico , tiene mucho marisco, para mí gusto ahora suelen echarle mucho palito de cangrejo. La ración de bacalao es un poco más pequeña, y el secreto para una está bien. El jabalí está muy rico . Gran variedad de postres: diferentes tartas ( piña, frutos rojos) flan, serradura, arroz con leche, macedonia de frutas... Todos muy ricos. Cuidado si te ponen las famosas aceitunas o patés al principio, que en Portugal las cobran. Y aunque no las comas, mira la cuenta porque te las pueden cobrar ( se equivocan). Por lo general, el ambiente es agradable y los camareros son...
