Churrasqueira Sever, aka “FILIPE-E”, is one of the best restaurants in Portagem. We went there twice, a group of four. The owner of the restaurant received us in a very amicable way, especially the first time we went there. Given that the place was far less crowded the first time, we were superbly tended to in all aspects; hospitality wise, quality of the food (which was spectacular), and service, which was also impeccable. On the first time, we ordered the “misto de carnes de vaca”, which is a mix of several cuts of cow meat, as well as a pan of porcini rice. Both dishes were scrumptious and the quality of the produce used was definitely of fine quality. The porcini mushrooms are picked locally and were fresh. These two dishes were sided with potato chips, cooked cabbage and a salad. The portions were more than enough for the four of us. On the second occasion, we were sufficiently well served, however, the quality of the service was comprised because the place was very crowded. The cow beef mix wasn’t as good, but on a positive note, they did manage to bring us a delicious bean and (locally picked) mushroom stew, which was exquisite. The codfish was also very well cooked, therefore maintaining the quality of the rating. The bathroom is clean, modern and has a diaper station. The parking is insufficient in proportion to the affluence of people. The accessibility is made solely through a flight of stairs, therefore not the best for physically conditioned individuals or for baby strollers and the sorts. I advise one to book a table beforehand, because the place tends to get crowded on national holidays and festive occasions.

Nevertheless, this is overall a very good restaurant.
