Restaurante Piscinas do Mondego

Reviewed By Verinia

One of the delights of visiting this restaurant was walking across the footbridge on a sunny Sunday afternoon and lingering in the park for a pre dinner beer amongst all the families enjoying picnics in the sun. We passed the swimming pool, making a note to visit next time and went into the modern restaurant, which was beautifully laid out with proper white napkins. We were greeted nicely by a pleasant waitress, Rita and were soon settled in with a wonderful gin and tonic, full of ice and lemon and a few juniper berries to boot, made by Reuben. This was a birthday treat for my husband and it felt special from the start. We ordered a cataplana for one, which I was delighted about, as my husband isn't so keen on it as me and my husband had the monkfish and prawn skewer. The cataplana was lovely...filled with succulent fish, with the clams taken out of their shells already, which I appreciated. I maybe could have done with a couple more potatoes, if they could have been fitted in. My husband’s monkfish was cooked perfectly. We had a dessert, the chocolate cake and the parfait, both were really nice. we ordered the wine Monte de Ermes which was really nice. This is a great find, recommended by friends and although we live in the Algarve we will certainly go again when we go back to beautiful Coimbra. Thankyou!

O take away costuma ter uma ementa variada. O preço é acessível e a refeição é bem servida em termos de quantidade. É possível ligar a encomendar a refeição, e, por norma, quando chegamos ao local está pronta.Na minha opinião, falta a existência de alternativas mais saudáveis (embora, por vezes, existam). O staff é impecável, sempre simpáticos e atenciosos.

Everything went wrong in this restaurant. Sparkling water was ordered but a non sparkling was served. The required linguine turned out to be tagliatelle and the ordered medium filet mignon turned out to be almost raw. No word of apologies! On top of that, the atmosphere is not very exiting to put it mildly and the service is extremely lousy!Dear Customers,We regret that the service did not meet your ambitions.We appreciate your comment and analysis that allows us to try to work better.We are an ambitious team that needs constant input from our customers.We hope that one day they will be able to return and get a different image of our restaurant.Best regards,Jose Miguel

Conimbriga - Restaurante do Museu

Reviewed By abG6695BN

You can eat in the separate dining room for a meal, inside for a snack or even outside on the terrace overlooking the Roman ruins area. We were there 3 times in near succession. Once to overview the ruins and the next day (all day, into the evening) for the Roman festival with all the trimmings and a grand performance afterward. The 3rd time for the Beethoven operetta, his first, we had never seen before. It was quite well acted and was held near the back of the ruins to the left in the open air theater. The Restaurant staff is quite friendly and serves the snack or meal. Other than the snacks, everything was with no charge.

My wife and I had a really good dinner here, in fact, one of the best in Portugal. We shared the grilled octopus as a starter and this was very nicely done with onions. Main courses were the chicken and pork on skewers accompanied with rice, fries, salad and turnip greens. It was a lot of food but beautifully cooked. We finished with a shared sliced mango. A glass of wine recommended by our very attentive and professional waitress finished off a memorable meal. Do not miss this restaurant , it is very special. G and K from Oz

Bairradino Dos Leitoes

Reviewed By InformedTraveller

This is what in the States we would call a road house. It is directly on a main road that skirts Condeixa. In fact, even though the airline distance from our hotel was only a quarter of a mile, the hotel staff confirmed what we had gathered from the map and told us we should drive there, there was no easy or safe way to walk.It is clean, reasonably comfortable and well-lit (arguably to a fault), and the staff are welcoming and helpful (and one of the waiters actually had pretty good English), but the overall ambiance is perhaps a bit soulless compared with most small, independent Portuguese restaurants.They put out a nice selection of appetizers. If you are a first-timer to Portugal, most restaurants lay out fresh olives (warning to Americans: unpitted) and bread, usually with a small charge called the cover. Some restaurants – including this one - put out additional options such as tuna spreads, etc.; in these cases you are charged for what you actually consume, but the charge for any one item is very modest, usually less than a Euro. Just warning you that it is not actually “free”.I had the house specialty, roast suckling pig (basically, the name of the restaurant), crackling included, and my wife had a cod dish. Both were served with rice and potatoes and a salad. Befitting a road house, service was FAST. The food was very tasty. Portions were very generous and in fact we took home enough to have a tasty and satisfying lunch the next day. The house red was inexpensive but a bit on the rough side, still, no complaints – hey, the cost of the bottle was significantly less than the cost of a single glass of bar-stock wine back in the States.

This is really a fun place. I arrived at about 6.30 pm to find the place closed, and one of the regular patrons sitting outside waiting. So I joined him.The 3 members of staff, cook, lady owner and waitress arrived together 5 minutes before service, and quickly opened up.Service is nice and with a smile, albeit overwhelmed by the number of clients who quickly fill up the small dining area.They have a small list of daily specials, and everyone I talked to recommended strongly to stick to them. I did, and had a fabulous vegetable soup and a tasty half portion of cabrito. Mixed feelings. It was correct by all standards, but it was also reheated, which of course is to be expected so take this as a fact more than as a critic.Took me ages to leave because the 2 waitresses, one of them the owner who has to cash in your payment, are overwhelmed with full tables.Electronic or card payments were not available. Food is greatly priced, with the possible exception of the cabrito which I found expensive. They have fast and reliable wifi.Very good, I will be back.

Unfortunately it was really a bad experience. I was with two girlfriends, we made a reservation at 9.30 PM, our bad we never been in Coimbra and we walked there by foot so we arrived 5 min later. We came in and we wait 10 minutes until a lady yelled at us in Russian, saying that she already told us to wait outside! I told her that it wasn’t us and that we had a reservation. She walked away without answering. Then came who we think was the owner (or manager). She was REALLY RUDE with us and told us that she called us at 9.30 but we weren’t there so our table was gone..... we decided to wait a little bit to have another table. We wait until 10.30/45 PM and at the end they put us in the other room that they have (like tapas bar, not restaurant). The food was good and the staff nicer. If you decide to go, go in the tapas part!!!! Not at the restaurant!!!
