O Bogalho — Restaurant in Loures

I visit Portugal every few years to visit family, and we were flying out of Lisboa the next day so we were looking for a close place to eat before we went back to the hotel. We were going to go to another restaurant we were familiar with but fortunately for us they happened to be closed. So we checked trip advisor and this place had good reviews so we decided to check it out.

When we drove up to the restaurant we were questioning whether or not to go since it looked empty and no one was there. It was around 7pm so quite early for a Portuguese dinner but we walked in anyways. Lights were off and we saw one man in the back, and his wife sleeping in the corner. We laughed at this but Mr. Pereira welcomed us with open arms and sat us down. To keep it short, this was the best restaurant I have ever been to. Hands down. Everything from the wine, to the cheese, the food—everything was outstanding. After leaving we left feeling like family vs. customers. Whenever I visit Portugal, I will be flying into Lisbon to visit this restaurant. You will not be...

Really recommended for an authentic local experience! We ended up in this working class suburb in the vicinity of the airport and found this local little restaurant with very good reviews. Very basic and “outdated” decor, like typical local restaurants, and hence very authentic atmosphere. The owners are an elder couple, he looks after the tables and she is in the kitchen, cooking with simple ingredients like at home. Neither speak any foreign language, but they are super nice, genuine and cosy and took their time to try and explain the menu (obviously also in Portuguese only). Our dinner was delicious, tasting and feeling very homemade and like visiting our own family. Prices are also for locals, ie very affordable. Would definitely come back if we are in...

Procurávamos um jantar rápido. Resolvemos experimentar aqui. O espaço em si, é muito pequeno, e tudo muito antigo, mas nem por isso deixava de estar tudo limpinho. Quando chegámos não havia ninguém e as luzes estavam apagadas, foram acessas quando entrámos. Se não se deixar assustar pelo aspeto antigo de tudo, vale a pena entrar para uma refeição. Percebemos que o forte da casa é o almoço, por isso o que comemos foi o que "sobrou" do almoço. Vou voltar para experimentar como é ao almoço. Devo dizer que o arroz e as batatas fritas são magníficos. Pareciam o que a minha avó fazia. De modo geral a comida foi boa, embora o frango no forno que comemos não tivesse o tempero que eu mais apreciasse. Já a Vitela estufada, estava muito boa. As sobremesas, Maçã assada e Leite creme, estavam boas, embora o leite creme, que foi queimado para o almoço, já não tivesse o crocante do açúcar queimado. O Sr. Pereira foi muito atencioso e simpático. Em termos de preço os pratos são económicos, há pratos em que 1 dose dá para duas pessoas, embora não possam ser para pessoas que comam muito bem, mas chega... No caso do frango e da vitela a dose custava 10€. As sobremesas já achei um pouco caras. Penso que vale a pena voltar ao almoço. Dose, água e sobremesa a 7.5€ por pessoa,...
