Attracted by the excellent reviews, we can only confirm the beautiful experience, the first day for us in Portugal and we receive a wonderful welcome from the owner of the restaurant, very kind and ready to satisfy the gluten-free requests for my celiac wife. I ate an excellent tuna tartare, green peppers and bacalhau a bras. To finish, a super good decomposed cheesecake. My celiac wife also ate the peppers (fried in oil separately) and a pumpkin risotto. I would recommend it for both lunch and dinner. Few tables but definitely worth a visit if you are in Coimbra.

Located in the streets of the Barrio Alto, the restaurant immediately welcomes you in a warm and elegant environment. The menu features traditional Portuguese dishes of both fish and meat with gluten free options. We chose the sirloin with peach puree and tuna flakes and the roast suckling pig with purple potatoes and turnip top puree, sensational! Table service of the highest level and prices aligned with the quality of the food and service (45 euros per person for starter, main course, dessert and bottle of wine).

They were great with allergy considerations. They even brought out gluten free bread when they brought out the regular sourdough for my non-celiac companions.Took the time to help us pick a good wine, and told us the story behind the vineyard. Made us feel very welcome!
