Another treat in Vila Réal, the boss speaks French and is very friendly, don't hesitate, it's a real delight.

We had la lunch here on our way to Douro Valley.I was really pleased about the hospitality.We wanted to order via images from G Maps, but the host insisted to speak on his phone with a friend who knew english and explained us the menu! Very kind!The food was really good. They serve half sizes - which is a lot! Makes me wonder how a full size plate looks? Who can eat that much?Prices are really good as well. Great value for money If you like pork I can recommend the pork tongue. So tender!

We loved this place but it was pretty empty since it wasn’t a mealtime for the Portuguese. Our server Bruno made us feel like family and the food was delicious especially the barbecue chicken and the homemade fries, we loved it and will return

When you enter a restaurant like this and are served by a person as friendly as Fernando, things start well. Recommended place. Delicious grilled chicken with a very homemade and tasty garnish. The cod with onion is very very good. Thank you Fernando for your attention, we will return. Reasonable price.

We had a dinner here during our one-day trip to Vila Real, and we absolutely loved it. The food was delicious, and Bruno was so helpful and friendly. I definitely recommend this place, it is ideal indeed

A D10 place to eat well and at an unbeatable price. Quality homemade food.We repeat the next day for the good service offered.It is not a place with a modern atmosphere, if you are looking for a place to take photos this is not it; But if you are looking to eat good food and at an unbeatable price, this is it.We ordered steak for 2, with drinks, coffee and dessert to share; for only 10 each.Keep in mind, they only accept cash payment!
