Great for fish, meat and regional dishes. Right on the beach! Access by car is a little tricky. Check your maps app and towards the end of the directions follow the road closest to the coast.

This restaurante and location is famous for a regional dish called Cozido à portuguesa, or Portuguese boiled dinner.
Although the dish appears simple, it takes hours to prepare. It is similar to southern US cuisine in that it contains pig ears and feet. You don't have to eat everything, and it also contains other savoury pork meats, and also vegetables. For the adventurous.
Google it.

If you are in central or northern Portugal we highly recommend a stop in this town and this restaurant. The regional dish here is roast piglet. The bread is to die for. Highly recommended.

A centuries old garden and forest once tended by monks. In the centre is an amazing palace which is a hotel. Rooms are sometimes on sale. Amazing walks, food, mystery. Unique.
