Portuguese restaurants in Coimbra

  1. A

    Restaurante Zé Manel

    Tucked down a nondescript alleyway, this little gem, which is papered with scholarly doodles and scribbled poems, is easy to miss. Despite its location, it’s highly popular, so come early or be ready to wait. Try the good feijoada á leitão (a stew of beans and suckling pig).

  2. B

    Restaurante Zé Neto

    This marvellous family-run place specialises in homemade Portuguese standards, including cabrito (kid). Come in the late morning and you’ll catch the elderly owner tapping out the menu on a typewriter of similar vintage.

    A Sereia

    Sit around the large downstairs counter or upstairs in the equally old-fashioned dining room and get some of the best traditional Portuguese fare in town. Nothing fancy, but delicious.

  4. D

    Adega Funchal

    Delicious smells fill the alleyway outside this popular spot. Owners are proud of its chanfana carne de cabra (goat stewed in red wine) for two. Gruff service.

  5. E

    Restaurante Democrática

    A down-to-business, family-friendly place offering good-value standards, Democrática is a Coimbra classic and always filled with hungry students.
