Vale Mourao

Almocei aqui, o ambiente para mim foi prejudicado pelo cheiro de umidade do esgoto (que vinha dos banheiros, cujas portas estavam escancaradas) e pelo silicone mofado nas janelas. Os pratos eram ok, mas não memoráveis. Eu esperava algo um pouco mais típico ou refinado.

I really enjoyed my meal here. The owner is a hands on waiter, and tries to greet every person that comes through the door. He is friendly and very helpful. You can tell he really loves his business and the greater community. The view from the restaurant weather you choose to dine inside or out on the terrace is amazing.There is also an outdoor bar upstairs which also boast amazing views. The chef is local and takes pride in keeping the kitchen clean and by providing meals prepared and cooked using local produce. Thanks for the great meals and great wine.

I took a holiday home in the village for work purposes and had no idea I would find such a picturesque restaurant. Having eaten a number of times, I have had the chance to sample the ever changing menu of the excellent Brazilian Chef. Based on seasonal food with subtle twists, and a fantastic view over valley I would only ever recommend. The owner and service staff are very friendly and accommodating, always ready to talk food which shows they understand the detail of what they serve. Advise to check opening times and check ahead as it can become busy particularly in holiday times. A hidden gem. Don’t change.

Well we wanted to find somewhere special to celebrate our solstice wedding anniversary and this place really did tick every box. If you want an all round experience this is the one to try. Where do I start...firstly the location, absolutely outstanding views across the mountains that surround this lovely place. Just as you pull yourself together from being blown away by the location, you walk into the warmest friendliest welcome from Anna and Alan. The restaurant interior is absolutely pristine with a cool rustic ambience. The food was outstanding and accompanied with a fabulous choice of wines. There was not one thing we could fault. We will definitely be coming back again. Our only negative if there has to be one is that we dont live close enough or we could easily become part of the furniture. Thank you Alan for making our anniversary a really special memorable one. See you again soon. Maggie and Pete

If you are searching for a place to eat in this region search no more! This place is truly superb from the design to the ambience to the view to the staff friendliness and most importantly, to the taste! We actually arrived so late but they were kind enough to take us in and feed us some world class food. They started us off with delicious appetizers, goat cheese with strawberries and strawberry jam! Needless to say, it was marvelous. Then we had the veal with orange and potatoes, and the chicken with curry sauce and potatoes. Although both were awesome, I must say that I simply fell in love with the veal dish! It was cooked to perfection. We arrived in the evening so didnt really have the chance to enjoy the magnificent view so I would recommend you to go a little before sunset. All in all this was one of most pleasant surprises of our trip to Portugal. Go there, you wont be disappointed.

Arrived from the Uk to open the restaurant with President Luis Pereira . The food is consistently to the most highest of standards. I continued to visit the restaurant for the complete duration of my stay in Vila Velha de Ródão . Highly recommend!

We were on our way to the north of the country, passing through the region of Castelo Branco, and wanted to find a good place to eat near Vila Velha de Rodão, where we hoped to catch a glimpse of the Portas de Rodão. A lot of the local (Portuguese only) magazines online and blogs recommended this restaurant, so we gave it a try. The village where it 's located is a little bit out of the way, but the road gives out stunning views so we were not discouraged. The restaurant itself is just on the entrance to the tiny village, so it was easy to find. We found the design cosy, friendly, and very pleasant. The table was set decently, and we were welcomed by a friendly lady. There was no menu, but she told us what was the dish for the day. Soon after, she brought us two small dishes to start and freshly baked bread in a huge basket. This was a very impressive start 2 cheese dishes one was fresh cheese with olive paté and the other was goat soft cheese with strawberry sauce, and the bread was very good. We ate everything, and she came with even more bread saying we could have as much as we wanted she even left the big basket still half full nearby. Those starters were two of the best starters we 've ever had. And this was just the beginning... For the main course, she came with a huge dish of meat, potatoes and cabbage the meat was good and tender enough, potatoes with the tomato dressing on top was just okay, but the cabbage lowly as it is, was perfectly done. We couldn 't even manage half of the dish, not only because we had stuffed ourselves with the starters, but also because the dish was huge. We were almost bursting, but very much impressed with everything so far, we thought we shouldn 't pass up the dessert, for it was bound to be very good as well. So the lady brought what they had for the day and yes, it was as perfect as the rest. And a lot, too! (See photos below). It goes without saying that we had a good jug of red wine, and coffee afterwards. Not only did we enjoy the food, the friendly service, the location but we also appreciated very much the atmosphere there were magazines and good art and culture books about the region, including some signed works by an artist who is from the region. It was a place to satisfy not just one 's belly, but also to feed one 's soul, let 's say. As for the meal, we paid a very reasonable price, I don 't remember how much, but much lower than what we would have paid for the same quality closer to or in the city. We didn 't need to break a bank to pay for all that goodness. It 's a place I would love to return to, and would not hesitate to bring others to, for any occasion or just to enjoy a place where they know how to bring out the best in the ingredients abundant in the region. Highly recommended!
