Casa Típica Papas Zaide

It's a good thing we called before going, because it requires booking in advance. In other words, they didn't give us the opportunity to have the experience.It would be interesting to have some information here that would warn us about this particular issue.

Graça was a wonderful host, making us feel at home at her restaurant. The food was incredible, definitely one of our best meals in Portugal. The restaurant is in a tiny town where you really feel like you’re getting a local feel. Definitely would recommend dinner here!

The best food we have got in Portuga. Simple, authentic and straight to the point. Not bla bla bla at all but food as you would get at home with your grandma as per opposition to all the cheap talk you get in many high ranked restaurants. If you have the opportunity go there.

What an incredible restaurant - local ingredients and home cooking for great value and a great atmosphere. In my opinion it is worth it to go out of your way to come here. Make sure you make your reservation at least 12h in advance

The service attitude was very bad. If you didn't make the reservation, you cannot eat there. There will be an 8 people group in an hour, and the host was angry and didn't want to talk with us. Taking away is not possible neither.

We were staying in the village and were advised by our Airbnb hosts that we needed to pre-book, so we did. Just had to advise whether we wanted fish or meat - we chose fish. At max, the number of covers is 10, thus the prebook requirement. The meal was great. Appetisers of olives, bread, oranges with olive oil and honey followed by some great hake, served with salad and potatoes. Dessert of orange cake. Hostess was gracious and helpful and speaks pretty good English. Total bill, including a litre of house wine of €40 represented great value.

In decades of world travel, this is one of the best places we've ever eaten. Reservations only for this tiny cafe in a tiny village up in the hills above the Douro Valley. You will be asked if you want meat or fish, the rest is up to her.

We were with a part of 8. They accommodated everyone, including 2 vegans. Outstanding meal and service!
