We go on a august warm Friday summer evening. We made reservation for 19:30 and you should do it too, as the place it's always crowded. We get a table outside which has been perfect. The service it was really fast and very friendly. We try several starters but what we really love was the Ovos rotos and the Brás of Alheira. Tasty and squisite. We select the white of the house, who isn't wonderfull but works, but we have to require an ice basket to chill it. A great experience very good ratio price/ quality.

They have daily menus: very good and not at all expensive. Even the wine is more than ok! But... try the small rissóis, samosas, crockets, with a nice beer... wonderful. And try not to take the menu but some other (not so quick but very fresh) meals.... It's not incredibly cheap but... very good and simle food, with the tastes of the country.

Is the perfect place to go in Autumn or Winter, is surrounded by nature, you can walk and have a nice day around. The Hotel is confortable, the staff is super sweet, the food is very good, they had a unique menu for dinner and they did a special plate for my daughter since she not like fish, was very good. Love when in the afternoon we go for a recently baked cake and a cup of coffee near the fireplace.Have a pool, spa, can grab a book and read around or even a DVD and see it in your room.

Not my favourite deco, but nice room, with a great mountain panoramic view.The food was excellent, everything we tried, since the appetizzers (staff suggestions) to the dishes. i'll be back, it is a sure bet!The chef will visit the room, will check with the clients in the end, something that you don't see everywhere, even in very pretensious places! Everyone was very nice.

Whilist in Sabugueiro, which is one of the most remote and futuristic villages in the Serra da Estrela National Park, we decided to have lunch at the "O Mirante da Estrela".We had arroz de carqueja (Rice of genus), feijoada de javali (Kidney beans with wild boar) and cabrito assado (roast kid), not to mention the deserts and the good local red wine.It was a really nice meal and reasonable priced. The service was excelent and we do recommend.

We went here after a day at the H2otel Spa and it was a very nice "complement". Relaxing, small and the food was great. Typical local food, very friendly staff and good portions. If you are not too hungry, I would suggest to order 1 dish and split.Overall, very nice!

We were heading to another place but it was full. O Cortiço seem a good alternative. However the place over exceed our expectations... nice service by the owners, small but good environment and fantastic food. Specially the meats, we were told they select the veal while alive and then follow the complete path until the table... the quality is superb. And very affordable prices... worth the visit...

We had four nights in the area and were not satisfied with the dinner buffet at our hotel. We found this place on a map and read the Tripadvisor reviews. On the first night we didnât know that they were so popular that we should have made reservations.They were VERY nice and found a table for us even though they were busy. We were so happy with the food that we made reservations for the two next nights as well.On the first night we had the veal - it was falling off the bone and was so tender we really didnât need knives !On the second night we had a beef steak - perfectly grilled and full of flavour !On the third night we had confit duck - this was my favourite! Again, the meat was falling off the bone... it was so tender... and I will be dreaming of this dish for a long time !The staff is awesome! They were very friendly, attentive and efficient! This place is BUSY but they manage to run everything so smoothly you hardly notice how fast they run. They made us feel special as customers and there is alot of love in this food â¤ï¸!We highly recommend coming here - remember to make reservations!
1. Lenda Viriato

Reviewed By southerntraveller49
This is an attractive themed restaurant, based on the Roman rule in Portugal as its name describes. Decoration in the establishment and staff´s dresses are according to it. They provide traditional Portuguese dishes with a more contemporary touch. Lenda Viriato is a good place to those with a hearty appetite, in fact you risk ordering too much food if you don´t know beforehand that servings are quite abundant. The food is also good and well cooked. Varied clientele. Warm and friendly staff, with a familiar touch. Prices are medium or a bit just under that, and taking into account quality and quantity, the price-quality ratio is even better. All in all, a place to recommend.
