Cova da Loba

We’ve been here 2 times, once for dinner and once for lunch. The ambiance is good, staff is very friendly. The quality of the food is great, really great. We tried the soup, the sausage rolls, the mushroom risotto, the kids dishes with fries and turkey steak, the wild board and tuna tartar. All was very good. The price is a bit high for local portuguese standards, but it’s still a good price vs quality. At last the deserts, we had quite a couple and they were all good. The meal sizes are regular, nor small, nor too big. I’m a big eater and an entree and main dish were enough. If you’ve got some room left, pick a nice dessert to top it off (or with some nice Port). The wine list is enormous, know your wines if you want to choose! Really nice place to visit. If you are considering the place, just go!

Following the internet tip we found this restaurant and we loved it! The main dishes is incredible, the dessert is fantastic (we proved a lot of them hehe), the environment is very beautiful and cozy, the service is well organized and the staff is super friendly. I strongly recommend this restaurant!

Very good restaurant . The food is delicious and of high quality. The wine list is impressive. The service however was slow . Everything else said is great

Cozy environment and tasteful food. Generous portions. Both inside and outside sitting. Pick the tables facing the castle. Locate right by the castle in a beautiful historic site.

The partridge soup is special, very exciting dish, good flavours and the pastry is a unique touch. On the dessert menu they claim to have the best sponge cake in the universe. I haven't tried their sponge cake, but I also haven't been to the entire universe (yet) so I could not verify their claim. I only had the soup which was excellent, and the bacalhau was super mediocre, the chickpea sauce did not appear fresh, it looked tired, it could use some freshening up, they still have to refine the recipe. Overall, it is a nice place, nice ambience, it is located in a basement, ideal for romantic dinners, it's literally in the middle of nowhere, I drove 30 minutes each direction and was the only car on the road both ways. Quite a few dangerous curves on the way there so if you are driving at night please drive slowly and safely. I will be back for the partridge soup for sure. Thank you.

The prices on the website are not the same as in the restaurant (4-course menu is €40, not €30). They don't have a wine-menue so if you order a glass of red or white you get a local one for €6 per glass! The food is OK but too expensive for what you get and the owner is very pushy for you to order a dessert. If you deny, he'll get visibly upset.

We only had desserts and some drinks, they were pretty good.

Very nice restaurant from both sides of the road, one looking to the castle the other looking to the town. Lots of seats, food is traditionally and stylish prepared. Friendly staff. Recommended
