What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Taberna Laura is a highly recommended hidden gem in Coimbra, praised for its authentic Portuguese cuisine and warm, family-like hospitality. Diners rave about dishes like Chanfana and the tomahawk steak, and the owners' willingness to surprise guests with tastings. While most experiences are overwhelmingly positive, one reviewer noted a slight issue with food preparation and another with a language barrier regarding leftovers, though overall value and ambiance are consistently applauded.
"We were surprised when we found this place tucked on a charming cobblestone street in the center of historic Coimbra, this restaurant is a true hidden gem for anyone craving an authentic taste of Portugal. From the moment you step through the door, you're welcomed like family into a warm and inviting atmosphere. My wife and I don't repeat places, but this one three times in a week. Every time we were surprised by the owners with tastings of the rich variety of wines and Portuguese kitchen."

"We just happened to turn a corner and saw this place. Their sign said tomahawk steak for two with potatoes and vegetable €39.
Well, we couldn’t pass it up . We enjoyed delicious wine. Our meal was excellent. They didn’t even have to season it just the course of sea salt. They gave brought the flavor out so nicely. The only thing that we would say was a negative would be that we had leftover meat and we asked to take it home take away and I think with the language barrier he just didn’t understand and we never got it."
Donna Tschetter
"The food is delicious and it’s worth the price. Went back twice and on both occasion I ordered the Chanfana because it’s too delicious to pass up. The waiter who served us was very excited in sharing his experiences with us and also explained the dishes to us as we do not know the language.
This place is highly recommended."
