"A family-oriented establishment near the Montesinho Natural Park, where the virtues of the local Bragança cuisine are showcased. The place, easy to spot as it is right by the road, features a large car park, a public bar and two rustic-style dining rooms, both displaying hunting-themed decorations. The menu showcases regional Trás-os-Montes recipes and game dishes, always in hearty servings and based on fresh produce. Don’t miss the stewed wild boar with chestnuts, hare rice, Bragança-style lamb... or the wonderful grilled wild boar sirloin." - Michelin Inspector

We went for 22-23 Reveillon. Food was pure perfection, service was great even with fully booked place, music was "ok", and overall experience was worth every penny. The only complaint was the AC, too hot in the inside... But, other than that, it totally deserves a 100% review. Will totally come back for a regular meal when in Braganca again. Congratulations for the whole team!

It was the first restaurant we went to when we were visiting Bragança. Actually it was in the periphery of the city, not inside. It was quite expensive, despite having tasty food. We did choose “butelo das casulas” … quite spicy but tasty… the atmosphere was interesting but the waitresses were too slow (or there was some kind of disorganization among the staff) and the time we spent waiting (for the table to be free, for the dishes to be served … etc) was too long

Great food, local, big portions and decent pricing. One of the best beers I had in Portugal and an amazing chestnut mousse. The pork meat was very tender and juicy, nicely done. A place to go eat if in Braganca.

This family-run restaurant typifies the delicious local food of the Tras os Montes region and the Montesinho Natural Park where rural communities still coexist with wild boar and one of the most important Iberian wolf populations in a stunning landscape of forest, mountains and waterfalls. This is the place to find the best regional food in the area and it is well worth a journey to taste their signature dish, wild boar with chestnuts. The restaurant is run by a husband and wife team, he at the front and she is the chef. The restaurant looks a bit formal when you walk in but the warmth of the owners lights up the dark wood and stuffed trophies of the hunting lodge décor as they go out of the way to make you feel welcome.We began with pungent and tasty wild mushrooms heaped on our plates and cut with orange slices while many around us had huge plates of ham and cheeses, local sausage or terrine. The boar stew was just like Mama would have made it, unctuous with a rich wine and marrow gravy and tender meat you sucked off the bones. The wine list is broad, priced for every wallet and they recommended a hearty red to go with the boar which matched it well. Around us other traditional game dishes such as hare rice and other gamey delights looked really excellent too. Then as soon as our plates were empty a big tureen was brought to the table with an offer of more, who could say no? We could hardly manage our flan dessert, second bottle of wine and eau de vie digestifs! Highly recommended.
