Restaurante Ás Do Leitão - O leitão em Ourém — Restaurant in Ourém

We drove about 40 minutes out of our way to go to this restaurant because we weren't going to make it as far north this trip as we did the last and we really wanted leitao. We arrived at 530. The place was deserted but there was a pair seated at a table and a man finishing up his coffee at the bar. I politely asked (in fluent Portuguese) if they were still serving dinner. The man looked at me as if I had smacked him in the face, slowly lifted his index finger and slowly wagged it at me while shaking his head and mumbling something incomprehensible about them having run out. We felt completely unwelcomed. Even my boyfriend who doesn't speak Portuguese quickly picked up on the fact that we werenot welcomed there and that women should probably not speak unless spoken to. Horrible. Sad. And we still didn't get leitao. But, that just means that another trip...

Very underwhelmed with the food. The pork was barely warm when it was served, the salad was a sad piece of work and the bread was rock solid. With nowhere else to go to as everything else in the area was either reserved or full had no other option for eating out. The place itself was very cramped and my seating felt like I was getting in the way more than anything. Atmosphere itself feels like a small local spot known mostly by middle aged and older people as those were the customers present during my visit. The people are friendly but the service overall was a bit slow knowing that the place only serves one real dish and it still taking longer...

When a restaurant offers only one dish, you expect it to be good. The piglet was cold when it arrived, the salad could fit into a small burger, the bread was hard as a rock and the crisps were fresh out of the supermarket shelf. The owners were welcoming, but the food...
