What a big surprise! It’s a relaxed, beautifully decorated, well located and very traditional and delicious food restaurant. It’s not just another “by the side of the road” restaurant where you eat tasty nearly for free. It’s away more then that. It has class, it’s pleasant to the eye and body, super clean, comfortable, cozy and the wine selection can make jealous some highly known restaurants! The waterfall beside, alone, could be an attraction. After you deviate a bit from the main road to access the restaurant, you’ll find a generous parking, considering the capacity of Guarda-Rios.

Beautiful mountain features inside of the restaurant as well, great atmosphere and fresh air. They also sell cheeses from Serra da Estrela, marmalade, I think maybe wine and more. 10/10. They also...
Read moreMyself and three friends came into this restaurant and as we have sat down and ordered (two soups and one whole meal) plus drinks, shortly after the owner approached us and let us know that in order for us to be able to stay we would have to order more, what we ordered wasn’t enough and that he has turned people away in order to give us a table.
Then he proceeded to say that if we ate quickly and left then we could stay. We found it at very poor taste that because one of us did not order a meal he did not want us to stay.
I did not order as I am pregnant and do not feel like eating a lot so I was going to pick a little from my partners food. We proceeded to get...
