My expectations were high has I found this restaurant via TripAdvisor.But quickly faded has soon has we spotted the restaurant.Has we donât care much for looks and first impressions, because in Portugal the worst looking restaurant turns into great surprise, we still gave it a chance and stepped in.The menu was not much to our taste, and choosing plate was a difficult task as most dishes were not available at dinner time.Still We choose Arroz de Bacalhau and a cheese and mushrooms omelette.The highest point off arroz de bacalhau was the chopped parsley sprinkled on top.The omelette was overcooked, at least to my taste, and with canned mushrooms.For dessert we had a Serradura, that was at the same level as the previous dishes. It also felt like it had been made some days in advance.I do recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a cheap meal in Covilhã, but sincerely not if you are looking for a great regional gastronomic experience has thereâs great choices in the city or at least in a 20 km radius.The service was kind and honest. I do regret making such a bad review but this is the second time I am betrayed by TripAdvisor ratings.

Hamburgueria Beirã - cozinha com amor
Reviewed By Helge G
The restaurant where we had planned to have lunch was closed, and a quick search of nearby restaurants led us to this hamburger place. Hidden in the back streets of Covilhã we wouldnât have found it by ourselves, but I am happy we searched, as the place turned out to be really nice. The decor is basic but nice, the staff is friendly and the burgers are very good, and nicely prepared. The desserts were also really nice, the lemon mousse and pannacotta were real treats. Add to this that the prices are very reasonable, and the combination resulted in the best meal of the weekend for us.

No Restaurante Quinta da Amoreira, preparamos para si um menu especial com as melhores carnes, onde destacamos as suculentas e saborosas Carnes Maturadas. Esta é a nossa especialidade, única nesta região da Serra da Estrela.

We stayed at the pousada da serra da Estrella and because the restaurant's quality we looked for something good and special. We found this really good looking restaurant from the outside and we knew that we had to go in.They have some great dry aged meat that you have abolutelly to taste. The ingredients and the sides are very locally and a great Portuguese cuisine experience.I give it a 5 out of 5!!!!Will come back for sure

Lucky we arrive early, take our order and service was quick. Later with the house almost full, the service was a mess. The restaurant was OK and the concept is good, but they need to solve 'staff' issue. Key element. 'Tábua de queijos e enchidos' should have more 'enchidos'. 'Salmon bruschetta' was very good. 'Crepe' well prepared, nice desert.

Restaurante de comida tradicional, caseira, com o menos possÃvel de sal, fritos e açúcar, privilegiando as ervas aromáticas. Pratos portugueses da região da Beira Baixa e da Serra da Estrela.

This place is deserves it. A simple pork cutlet was perfectly cooked and subtly seasoned. The rice and bean dish which acompanied in it was freshly cooked and supremely flavorsome. When I finished the side salad more was offered, which I declined. When my glass of house wine near the bottom the proprietor offered to refill it, and offer I gratefully accepted. There was no extra charge.The dining room is simply but comfortably furnished in a modern decor. Lunch was a totally enjoyable experience. Over the past few years I imagine I've been in more two dozen small Portugues cities. Covilha is not one which I am especially enjoying. However this restaurant is a real find.

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.

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!

Excellent. Everything over the expectations. If you are around, don't miss it. Genuine Portuguese food with fairy price and overwhelming service. Don't forget to make a reservation as must part of the days it's really busy. You'll love this typical mountain's restaurant specially if you get a table next to the fireplace on a cold day.
