Restaurante Bottega das Tapas — Restaurant in Leiria

Bottega das Tapas was a pleasant surprise.

Located next to the bus station, I wasn't expecting much, but it was quite upscale, with delicious food and an excellent choice of wines.

While we ate several of the tapas on this trip, they also have a very reasonable price of 10€ for the plate of the day that included a choice of vegetarian, fish or meat option with soup and dessert.

The polvo with potatoes and smoked paprika was one of the most tender I've ever eaten.

The inside was nice overlooking the street from the 1st floor with nice interior and the staff very helpful.

Also a very clean restroom.

We highly recommend and...

Espaço super acolhedor, para onde fui convidado por um cliente, para ir almoçar junto de um grupo de amigos que, pelonque percebi, almoçam todas as 4as feiras lá, sendo que o menu vai alterando de semana para semana. Desta vez, foi um prato tipicamente de Inverno, uma maozinha de vaca, com o grão de bico, adornado por um arroz branco, soltinho, guloso, bem refugadinho, a apretechar a mãozinha que estava deliciosa e apurada. Com um vinho da Bairrada a compor o ramalhete, o repasto foi um sucesso junto dos pares. De referir que o atendimento, super simpático e eficiente, rápido e atencioso, faz com que, desde de entradas a bebidas, cheguem à mesa rapidamente e atendem a que nada falte. Fiquei fã e voltarei...
