Adega da Ana — Restaurant in São João da Pesqueira

Absolutely superb. So friendly, and the meat we had was one of the best t-bone steaks ever. You could cut it like butter and the taste was brilliant. And we took two meals for 3 of us, adults, and still couldn't finish. And the bill was 22€, including drinks, coffee...simply amazing. And the lady speaks English and is just so friendly...they pretty much refused the tip, we had to leave it on the counter, as if they were not worthy. I would, and we did, drive the 30min from the Duoro river to get there without hesitation...

It wasn’t promising as we walked in. So close to a fab view. But you can’t see it unless you get one of those 2 tables outside. Frankly, a bit dingy inside. Although v clean and truly ‘honest’. But Sylvia was very solicitous, the food arrived PDQ and was excellent, the portions generous and the prices ludicrous as in low. It’s the only place in this town I have eaten in. And I won’t be trying the others.

Did I mention the wine?...

Ana’s restaurant is a wonderful little gem! We found her place before visiting family in the town and went for a late dinner. We started with bread, cheese, olives and olive oil — a Portuguese simplicity yet so good! All of our main courses were delicious. The meat was cooked perfectly and sides were equally well prepared. If you want authentic and flavourful Portuguese food while visiting Sao Joao de Pasqueira, this is a must!...
