Tips from locals
Almost famous regional restaurant. Also decent Portuguese dishes at a good cost. We have met people in Lisbon who named it as an example of a true good "countryside restaurant".
Excellent local Portuguese cooking. Family style. About 6km from the cottage, on N8, in the direction of Caldas da Rainha, on the right. Portions are generally large. A serving, or "doce" (pronounced "dose"), can often serve 2 people. Specialties include "javoli" (wild boar), balcalhao (codfish), "polvo" (octopus), and "espedada" (get the beef one - the "mista" is a mix of beef + pork). Note: you enter thruthe the bar, which might look "dumpy". Keep walking - the restaurant is in the back.
