O Manjar do Marquês — Restaurant in Pombal

It is disappointing to see how much Manjar do Marquês has changed since my last visit 15 years ago. What was once a highly regarded establishment now falls far short of expectations. After waiting 20 minutes outside just to get in, the experience was underwhelming from the start. There is no menu provided, leaving you with limited options that feel uninviting. The food quality was the biggest letdown. The filetes de pescada were overly oily, making them unpleasant to eat, while the bacalhau was dry and completely lacked flavor. The much-talked-about tomato rice, which seems to have a following, was decent but far from exceptional. Starters like the pastel de bacalhau and croquetes were large, but their flavor was overpowering and not enjoyable.

It's a large room and is usually packed any time of the day, as they serve non stop all day long. Has a rustic atmosphere, a bit noisy and bustling, as expected from a room with such capacity.

Their specialty is tomato rice, and then you have to decide which “side dishes” to go with it. you can choose fried codfish, breaded hake fillets, breaded stake, cod cakes, samosas, “migas”, and black-eyed beans. And everything tastes really good.

The service is fast and competent, although not very attentive because the waiters are always hands full with so many customers to attend.

If you're traveling between Lisbon and Porto and happen to feel hungry halfway through, this is...

But Pastep de bacalhau is great, soup is wonderful, and tomato rice is very good . The atmosphere is the same! Nice, traditional, and warm. But I did not behaviour of one of employees . A big queue out of door, in 41 degree heat! Kids, old people are waiting and bo body was coming customer.they totally ignored the queue. And we checked inside a lot of tables were available. When we remind them.qbout the queue. The answer was : " we are little numbers and can not give fast service " we said but its 41 degrees outside.
