Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Wandered into Bombarral on an afternoon drive and ended up at Zelia, just outside the town, for lunch. What an unexpected surprise. Esconded in a small village, it was filled with locals when we arrived, always a good sign. For a Sunday afternoon we were lucky and got a table. We usually don’t touch the appetizers that they automatically bring, but being starved, indulged this time. The deep fried offerings were all delicious, The somewhat limited menu is typical Portuguese with fish and and meat dishes. We ordered the bochechas de porco (pork cheeks) preto posta do lombo de novilho a lagareiro (young beef steak). Both came accompanied by greens and potatoes. The white wine sangria and local house red were both large pours and good quality. For dessert we split a piece of almond tart which was excellent. Would definitely recommend and come back.

This restaurant is in a small village - it’s like the only thing there. It is extremely busy and I can see why! The food is great especially the chicken skewers that my friend ordered. Filled with locals, it seems to be the place to go. Highly recommend this place.

Service was quick, they didn't ask how we wanted the meat, we ordered sangria and it came in a 2 L jug for two. The migas were cabbage spread with cornbread and beans and had no flavor, the meat seasoning was just garlic (very intense) and the fries seemed cooked (they were soft). Two people lifted the table at the same time. They brought the dessert list and didn't even say anything. Anyway, it was the second time we went because the first one went well. Let's see if there will be a third.

After eventually finding somewhere safe to park, we walked into the strangest of lobbies that resembled more a wash room than the reception to a restaurant with a lack lustre welcome. The restaurant itself is clean but has no charm other than the TVs playing loudly at either end.
The waitress was lovely and helped translate the menu after explaining half of it was not available. The food when it arrived was odd, steamed cod under a watery mix of tomatoes and onions. The meat skewers whilst impressive were dry and tasteless. I wish I could say the sweets were better but what was left was poor.
The restaurant was recommended to us, but I could not recommended it to anyone based upon this visit.

Fabulous food. Very generous portions. Extremely friendly staff, ready to explain the dishes in English as they have the menu just in Portuguese. We came two nights in a row, and I wish I stayed one more night in Obidos area just to eat again in this restaurant. Both the fish dishes, and the meat, are amazing. Dessert are divine. And the wines, well suggested to pair the food. If we will revisit Portugal, we will definitely come to eat again at Zelia.

Today I went to the Zélia restaurant for the first time. It was a pleasant surprise. The food very good, in generous amounts. The staff very friendly and helpful, the price good for the quality of the food. Experience to repeat.
The only point not so good is the fact of noise in the room

This is a great, busy family restaurant, with super friendly people and good Portuguese food. It is not so different from any other Portuguese restaurant in terms of dishes, football on big screens and home made rice puddings. But comfortable and with a personal service. We will absolutely come back!

You will not leave the restaurant with hungry, but you won't also be amazed with the food... or the service, at least if it is on a Sunday at lunch!
