Manjar do Douro - Lamego

Food was brilliant , lovely staff members, speak multiple languages and good value

Busy waiters outside at lunch. Received the “cover charge” of lovely bread, jamon and cheese before even being able to order anything to drink. Waited for ages to just get a drinks order. Then the menu was oddly removed before we’d ordered food. When we finally got their attention to order food (drinks had arrived and cover finished), we received a different menu with different prices in English… it took an hour for over cooked cod and a simple mixed salad to arrive. Not impressed. Probably our only poor food experience in Portugal and we’ve been here for 4 months…

Being a local I totally agree with other guests on this one,a real Tourist Trap!.. The food is nothing special,but the prices are Ritz style beeing a little exagerated but its pretty close. The bread,olives and butter 15€ really? My cod was floating in olive oil and bread crumbs,I could do a much better job! Asked for House Wine that was mediocre 15€,something you can get at a supermarket for two. The other dishes were kids meals and I have to say that were the best on the table,spaghetti bologna. Learned my lesson,avoid it if you can.

Funcionários muito simpáticos e entradas boas; ambiente da sala um pouco pesado para o que esperávamos

The service and attentiveness of the waiters were lovely. But that’s where it really ended. I ordered the steak with onion soup and my husband being a vegetarian ordered the veggie burger (as there was only that or an omelette). The steak was ok but not great. The veggie burger looked shop bought and not well thought out. They offered us appetisers with bread, olives and meat we thought these would be for free or a very small charge as we didn’t not ask for them but they charged us €15 for that alone. I was disappointed seeing as this restaurant received such great reviews but it wasn’t to be.
