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.

What to say about Dom José? Well... adjectives and compliments fail me. To begin with, when a few weeks earlier I made the first contact to get an idea of menus and prices, as it was about booking a dinner for a group of 10 people and the always friendly and professional Nelsonme responded with "I don't know what let's do it tomorrow, let alone in a few weeks" and "any €100 per person is enough" I confirmed the reservation right away! :) Then, arriving at the restaurant a little earlier than agreed with just one other member of the group, and being asked if I want an imperial while I wait for the rest of the people, for me, says it all! A small detail to frame the story: as we went to Bombarral on an off-road motorbike, the capacity to carry luggage is limited (for some more than others). It wasn't surprising the expression of the remaining customers and staff when they saw some "mature" people come in wearing flip-flops, Lycra underwear pants and technical shirts that were to be worn the next day. Super funny !! At no point did we feel any type of discrimination, as has happened in other places. On the contrary ... From then on, it was always on the rise! From the quality of the food, to the presentation, the service... everything was perfect. The healthy discussion about the ideal temperature to serve red wine is what turned out to be useless... It's just that no one came to any conclusion, I don't remember if it tastes more or less fresh and we had to drink two or 3 more bottles than would be desirable ! ;) Fortunately the accommodation was close by and we were all on foot! Without a doubt, it is "THE" restaurant to visit in Bombarral. A special thank you to Nelson for his service before and during our visit! Oh, and the plate of farofias that came to the table at the end could also have been avoided. It's just that now I'm finding it difficult to go back to eating the former best farófias in the world, which are my mother's! Compliments.

I recommend. What we eat Goat cheese Sea ling panadinhos with bean rice and tartar sauce Country Chicken Cabidela Cerejeiras Wine Farofias meringue in the oven with egg jam Excellent products with first-class manufacturing. It remained to be tasted, we heard praise from the table next to the Rabbit and the Bacalhau. We were attended to by the owner Mr. Nelson, who was attentive and provided appropriate recommendations. It is advisable to make an appointment to avoid some situations that we read about here.

Dom José from the outside is simple and modest, but upon entering we feel the sublime refinement of the properly cared for space. Birthday Day, with ten guests (of different nationalities) and extraordinarily celebrated with six (6) different dishes ALL wonderfully prepared, all worthy of the "Michelin Guide" Recommendations that they have proudly boasted for successive years. The wines were directly selected by us, from the wine cellar at the back of the room. The suggested desserts are simply out of this world and pleasantly appreciated, even by foreigners who don't like sweets! I have no adjectives to describe the excellent gastronomic experience enjoyed by everyone who accompanied me. This Restaurant is excellence at its best without forgetting how captivating the attentive service from Nelson and his Sister is. Thank you very, very much... once again you didn't disappoint me.

We have been coming here regularly for two years now and are always delighted with the quality of the food (a big compliment to the kitchen team), the ambience and especially the warmth of Carla and Nelson. We now feel at home and more than welcome every time. We were recently in the Alentejo in Évora and had dinner four times in completely different restaurants - but none came anywhere close to "our" Dom José. The quality, quantity and especially the price/performance ratio are second to none. We will remain loyal to the owners for as long as we can and keep coming back so we can feast the way we want.

Superstitious! I had heard of it, and I wanted to prove it. Excellent service and sympathy of the owners, good advice, chose a wine for us with the best price/quality, and the meal itself was superb. We ate a bone-free rabbit and duck legs, each dish with its perfect condiments and sauces. And the final lights, as I read in a previous review, passed my mother's to 2place. All right!

We were taken by friends to Dom Jose as they were surprised we had not yet tried this restaurant. Dom Jose is a family run restaurant by locals who have lived in London for several years and it shows in the professional way this restaurant is managed. The menu offers a good selection and we chose fried squids and prawns goujons. Both dishes were well presented, amply portioned and tasted very good. Service was very attentive and efficient. Overall a very good portuguese restaurant which we look forward to patronizing again.

Our monthly visit to see Nelson , Carla and crew produced another meal to remember! I don’t normally describe the food BUT last night was so tasty I must share. Lovely olives , beautiful breads Liver lightly and carefully cooked then diced and served in white wine , garlic and what tasted a little like honey plus a bit of very light vinegar ( guesswork about ingredients but delicious!) Fois Gras served with slightly over toasted date toasties ( the over toasting added a brilliant flavour!) Espada fish fillets in batter with tartare sauce , fries, black bean rice and wedges of lemon - superb! Blackcurrant cheesecake. Washed down with one of Nelson’s tremendous and reasonably priced tintos. You would be challenged to find a tastier and better presented meal anywhere in Europe. Value for money is entrenched in this lovely restaurant! Thanks to Nelson and crew!

One of my favourite meals in all of Portugal. The food is excellent. The quality of the dishes we tried was just superb. The duck was incredible, filet steak was the best cut of beef I had in Portugal. Excellent wine selection. Mousse was mouthwatering. Espresso strong. Truffles next level. Highly recommended by locals, reservation’s almost mandatory as it’s that popular.

We were very warmly welcome, calling on spec, they sorted out a table. We ordered a main course and the cod a traditional Portuguese dish was delightful and the steak fillet was to die for - it was just superb. The choice of local wine was excellent, following a brilliant wine tasting with teh local wine maker.

Last week, we had lunch and dinner at Dom José. Both really very good ! Very nice and good quality food. Combined with the excellent wines Nelson suggested, we had a wonderful time. It is a pleasure to be at Dom Jose’s. Although they work very hard, they still have time to give personal attention and some fun to their guests. Please make sure to save some room for dessert…delicious ! And don’t forget to buy Carla’s delicious trufos to enjoy them at home or give as a present. We will definitely eat here a few more times in the next 2 months we are in Bombarral.

Out of the blue as they say , i come across this Restaurante , because my GPS/TripAdvisor showed me as relatively close to where i was, and i went around and there it was Dom José ,located in a domestic area, it is rather small but nicely styled in contemporary design. Having been welcomed by the friendly owner I was asked if i had reservation , i did not had , but i was taken to a table. I eaten rabbit , simply excellent! Cooked to perfection, and not a single bone on it. simple brilliant . With chips that remembered my Mum - Chips… Some vegetables that with the rabbit sauce become tastier - excellent. At the end the server said kind of jokingly why not soak some of this bread on the sauce… And i tell you that it was tempting… Excellent! I recommend to try at least one of their homemade desserts, the one i had was doce da casa it was the approach to “Baba de camelo`’ but it was if i can say more delicate and sofisticaste that the original, with a hint of coconut, less sweater with is the negative for me on the original Baba, simply brilliant. Very welcoming and friendly ,a nice atmosphere at a good price. Will be returning , maybe with some friends and family...

Magnificent food, and extreme attention to the fact that we were going with a two-year-old baby. Everything prepared to welcome the little one, especially the silicone plates and cutlery. Fantastic. Immense friendliness from the restaurant owners and an extremely welcoming atmosphere.

This is a very good restaurant. Small but nice. Because of the location (it seems to be in an ordinary residential area) I did not expect too much but my wife and I were pleasantly surprised. Particularly friendly owners who speak good English and of course with really excellent dishes. Delicious main courses and really delicious desserts. I can recommend this restaurant to everyone.

We first discovered Dom Jose in 2009. We have since eaten in some of the best restaurants in the whole of Portugal. We have yet to find one better than the Dom Jose. There isn’t one. 4 of us ate there tonight and it was 5 star as always.
