Our group toured the Manor House, then enjoyed a Fantastic dinner pairing local foods and wines. Our ONLY disappointment was the meal took place in a large Banquet room set up for Huge groups, and it is modern and not part of the original Casa. We passed a lovely dining room inside thinking that is where we would dine, but I think that is probably for the Hotel guests. BUT, the service was exceptional, the Food was delicious and interesting. We had unique Potatoes mashed with Octopus, some delicious fresh fish, fantastic different wines served with each course ( and generously poured.) Too many courses to list. All presented artistically as well. A wonderful meal for sure.

I go there for lunch on occasion, this time decided to take the family...got there and the owner asks if we had a reservation, of course not...the place is completely empty by the way. So, he says, sorry we're totally booked...went by later, after having had pizza at Mamma Isa and the place is at 50% at best. So...I can only assume that he wouldn't let us in because the Mrs is black???Se não vos deixamos almoçar é mesmo porque estávamos com o restaurante todo reservado, o que felizmente acontece todos os dias, portanto não tem nada a ver com racismo ou outra coisa qualquer...foi realmente um comentário de muito mau gosto. Podem vir quando quiserem serão sempre bem vindos e bem recebido mas, reservem para não acontecer a mesma coisa.

One cannot take issue with the scenery, architecture, interior design, or presentation. The food however leaves much to be desired. A beautifully cooked Maine Lobster Tail was destroyed by a Passion Fruit Sauce that turned the sweet lobster to a bitter piece of chewing gum. A coddled egg was presented beautifully in a glas egg but was overcooked and paired with a pickled sauce that again overpowered the gentle egg. A black bean stew tasted as if it had come out of the can with almost no seasoning. The. highlight of the meal was a perfectly cooked piece of goat with a sweet pea puree. However the puree would have been better with the lobster. Overall the food is not up to par with the location. Considering there re only two tasting menus one a 3 course and one a 5 course, and that the dishes overlap from one to the other, one should expect a much higher quality of cuisine. Especially at the prices they charge. The night we were there only 15 people were served out of a possible 25 per night. So clearly something is wrong.

It is a small but interesting place. They serve small traditional Portuguese dishes (petiscos). I had the pataniscas of octopuss and moelas. For desert I got lemon pie. Strongly recommend

The food was perfect as always. We good there at 19:15 to secure a table on a friday night. We had the Nacos de Vitela and the Feijoada de Polvo, both were very very good! It is always a place to stop when in Viseu.

Sausage cheese, sausages, octopus salad, feijoada, cod fried fish. the main dishes were on the same level with highlights for the fillets of octopus. Fantastic room.

This small and lively place is slightly off the beaten track in Viseu away from the popular cathedral quarter, but within easy walking distance and well worth seeking out. We thought the food was great and the service excellent.
