The best restaurants Central And Beiras

A large and beautiful typical brasserie, on the fish market square. Here you will come first and foremost for the food. Sitting at the bar or around the wooden tables, you will see the churrasco chef (the one who takes care of the grills) fussing and cutting beautiful pieces of octopus, entrecote, salmon. The grilled sardines are a marvel. In the kitchen, people are busy preparing the local specialties: fried eels, eel stew, octopus a lagareiro and arroz de marisco. It's tasty and generous. And on top of that, the owner is very friendly!

Everything is good, nothing is expensive. The locals are not mistaken to see the queue. But patience is rewarded: the dishes, of local excellence, are very copious (don't hesitate to take one for two). This is not the place to go if you are looking for a little privacy: the huge rooms under their high ceilings each accommodate about 100 guests. Try theArroz de Polvo com camaroes, the rib stew or the grilled beef tenderloin, you won't be disappointed. Tasty desserts and a good wine list too.

In a small alleyway leading up to the castle, a small treasure of gastronomy is hidden. Go down to the terrace, the view of the plain is splendid, you will taste your dishes in the middle of hanging stone-menhirs and trees that have made a place in the rock. A large choice of pestiscos, with for preference the farienheira com ovos, and on the side of the dishes we succumbed to the Polvinho no forno com queijo de ovelha. Delicious rice pudding for dessert. Family restaurant that honors the Portuguese gastronomy with originality and delicacy.

Located in the former palace of the Civil Governor, the establishment, which opened in December 2015 just a few meters from the center and below the university, boasts one of Coimbra's most beautiful terraces.

Great cocktails, including the Basil Smash Gin, a marvel of balance. Quality service.

A decent Japanese restaurant (according to Portuguese standards), adjusted to the local palette. Sushi, skewers, tempura and other dishes on the island. A good alternative to local cuisine.

Here the place has no character and the boss is flattering, while the radio sizzles some tubes of sugary Portuguese variety. But the dishes are delicious: We recommend chanfana, this kid or old cabri marinated according to a regional recipe. The tourist menu is cheap and the dishes of the day are effective.

The house is rather humble, but a good reception, a pleasant service and a kitchen that puts in good value regional products make it more than pleasant. Kidney jumping, frango na púcara or grilled fish and country wines. No fault!

Italian cuisine of excellent quality served with kindness.
