- City guide
Next to the historical center of the city, right in the center of Campo das Hortas, this house, opened to the public since 1926, has always been managed by the Cruz Sobral family, now in the hands of its fourth generation. Dedicating exclusively to the typical minhota cuisine, of which it is a reference, its dishes are cooked in a wood-fired oven. Tiled floor and stone walls, the space (intimate and welcoming) transmits the soul minhota in aromas and flavors to make mouth water.
