"Amazing little hidden gem. Up some stairs so not super obvious.
The food was second to none though and the service was great. It was a little quiet but we went on the Monday after Easter Sunday on a rainy day. I'm sure with more people in it would have a great atmosphere.
Also an amazing view across the fields that surround the castle."

"Category: Tourist Area. Based on a recommendation from our hotel, we had dinner here on our only night in Obidos. In fairness, there are many restaurants in town with attractive atmosphere and I suspect much of the food is similar, but we really enjoyed our choice. The restaurant is on the second floor, reached by a staircase from street level, through a Portuguese-tile-wainscoted hallway. The single, comfortable dining room has an old-world feel with rustic dark wood clothed tables, arch-backed chairs, herringbone terracotta brick floor, tongue-and-groove ceiling, and plenty of wine bottles everywhere, but we were led straight through it to one of only two balcony tables, which overlooked a green garden, village cottages, and the countryside outside the village wall. We started with the cherry tomato 🍅 and mozz salad (the way to assure that the tomatoes are fresh and ripe in such a salad is to use sliced or halved cherry tomatoes, as this chef did). As for my main, for the second night in a row I had an Iberico Secreto (at a different restaurant, not in Obidos), which is the best cut of pork in the world. 🌎 Grilled briefly over high heat, it was perfect and juicy. Sarah enjoyed the sea bass. Portions were more than we could eat, even after our 14,000 steps that day. We capped the meal with the luscious chocolate mousse. YouTube’s Chef’s Apprentice"
