Tasquinha da Vila — Restaurant in Vila de Rei

A Tasquinha da Vila is the place to go if you're into Portuguese classical home made food. You won't find anything exotic or avant-garde. If you ask for that, someone may laugh in the background if they happen to hear it. Be ready for some heavy staples of countryside lunch break "puxa carroça". All the options are fat friendly and olive oil puddles will be hard to miss. The food is served in platters or large dishes filled up to the edges, so you are strongly encouraged to bring an appetite. There is no focus whatsoever on healthy options so you better go run up a hill afterwards or get comprehensive health insurance. The quality of the ingredients is OK and everything is appetising, perfectly fitting the taste for this type of cuisine. Although in the antipode of gourmet paradise, I'm giving it a 4 out of 5, as it checks all the boxes it aims for. Price wise, it's cheap for what you get. Great...

What a great find, we had pork loin stew and salmon with roast potatoes as the dishes of the day. We also had lovely olives and bread a soft drink and half a litre of great house red wine. Finished off with a shared afters and two coffees for €13.50 what a bargain. The food was delicious, the place was buzzing and the service was fast and efficient. Would recommend everyone to drop...

Awesome genuine local place, with local food. Special mention to the French fries: you can tell it’s a local product. Also loved the bread, the with real amazing olive oil. I felt like I was at my aunties place! :) The staff is outstanding - kind, fast, super professional. Thank you, Tasquinha da Vila. Always a compulsory stop when travelling...
