Our meal at Cafe Havanessa was outstanding in every respect. The food prepared by Florbella was out of this world and was beautifully presented and accompanied by the best Vinho Verde we have ever had. The service was friendly, welcoming and fantastic, and the decor quirky and tasteful. This place is a real find and is a credit to Florbella, who used to be an architect and has now turned her creative passion to the kitchen.

O serão, o pitéu e a pinga! / The evening, the tapas and the drinks! The place to experience good food (traditional and not) and good wine (from north to south of Portugal) Reservas apenas online. Online reservations only.

Every dish is wonderful and extremely well priced. We loved it so much we went back again 3 days later. You will experience flavours you have never had before. Iâm not a foodie but this stuff is good. $5-8 euros for most of the share plates. 3 dishes and a bottle of wine about $40 euros. Very reasonable. This guy should be on one of those Master Chef shows. Heâs a genius with food.

Due to the great reviews despite being in a somewhat offbeat location, we expected something great. Instead, we got pretty good, albeit with a dash of the usual awesome service and personalities we've become so enamored with while living in Portugal. They provide a lot of cute little thoughtful touches; it's apparent this is a labor of love for the owners. The first time we tried to eat there, it was full up and they told us we needed reservations. So when we decided to stay in the Pousada for a night for our anniversary, we made reservations. On that day, we were the only diners for a good fifteen minutes, although it got busier by the time we left. Anyway, if you stumble across it while exploring the castle, you'll have a pleasant and charming meal. But if you're expecting something as head and shoulders above the overall ratings make it sound like, it might not be as awesome as you're expecting. Still, in a location where you'd usually expect a cheap, touristy, mail-it-in restaurant, kudos to them; it's anything but.

I don't mind paying good money for good food, but when the menu is so expensive, comparing to much better places in Portugal, it is sad.I ordered the goat cheese salad, which was a medium size salad, some lettuce, tomatoes, nice cheese, with VERY sweet sauce and no balance of flavors at all. Nothing delicate, just overpowering tastes. I guess the dish was supposed to be sophisticated. It really wasn't. Like a still in school chef. 9 Euro for that salad!!! Then came a pasta dish with sauted vegetables and mushrooms. Almost no flavor and no depth to this anemic dish. It is so easy to make a good dish with such fresh ingredients. It feels like this restaurant just ignores a growing group of vegetarian and vegan costumers, who want to eat a proper fine dinner,with some innovative touch and depth and creativity. To pay 9 Euros for very simple salad with very bad dressing, and 14 (!!!) Euro for a SMALL portion of average pasta, you can easily make better at home... That is just an insult for costumers. One of the worst places I ate in Portugal. No value for a lot of money.
