País das Uvas — Restaurant in Vidigueira

The restaurant is located in a central location in a very small village called "Vila de Frades". There they make "vinho de talha", very nice. I highly recommend for people who enjoy wine. They also have a small museum how the wine is made. When we entered the restaurant was already fully reserved, the waiter was so sweet that she proposed to us to eat on the terrace, we were the only table outside. The weather was perfect to have dinner outside and we could enjoy the beautiful view of the full moon rising.

It was great to...

The food was tasty and the ambience is authentically rustic. The food portions aren’t big, the meat cuts we got were very bony and fat, looks ok on the serving plate but then little meat, maybe bad luck but many others complain of similar. the service was slow in the peak time and doesn’t look like they are keen to make it effective tending to a couple tables before heading out of the room, makes them have to run back and forth more times, only tending one request at a time, you notice other clients annoyed of long waiting too. so go with plenty of time to spend. overall it was a...
