We perform checks on reviews.
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.

Remote location, somewhat hidden from the distracted eye, but excellent presentation of the restaurant with a fantastic view for dinner. Everything is extremely well prepared, the vegetable cream soup is divine… I recommend it! Staff 5*!!!

We came across this restaurant completely by chance, we were hiking on the GR50 Check-out from Girmil. It was raining and we were quickly looking for a small restaurant.
What a surprise to arrive and see that the only restaurant in Bruffe is this restaurant with this magnificent view of the small mountains around! The restaurant is tastefully decorated, wood everywhere, the staff is very friendly and the restaurant totally glazed which allows to enjoy the view! There is a beautiful terrace but unfortunately for us the weather did not allow to enjoy it.
The restaurant quickly filled up, on a rainy Tuesday lunch in August we did not expect to see so many people for this restaurant a little hidden!
The second surprise was the arrival of the dishes. This is definitely more sought after than most of the restaurants we have made in Portugal in the same Award brackets! The meat was excellent, the fries good and the vegetables were well worked, it was nice to eat a little varied.
For dessert we took maracuja pie (passion fruit) and chocolate mousse and rebelotte, it was good and even refined!
In short a big hat to this restaurant that stands out, it was the best we did during our 2 weeks in northern Portugal!!

The space and amazing, worth the location. As for the food, it was generally very well prepared, reflecting the vegetarian dish that goes beyond the typical, an option that sins for the lack of a protein (the simple bean!) but gains by not being bathed in olive oil as it is often found in typical restaurants. In addition, the balanced desserts are praiseworthy, not too sweet!!

It's not worth the trip. It's too expensive for what it offers. Charging four euros for a basket of bread is unacceptable. They brought a bread basket with five small pieces of bread and as we were three people they charged 4 euros. In practice, one euro for each piece of bread. I won't be back for sure. I felt robbed. And it's far from everything. There are much better options in the area.

We always return to the places where we were happy, but this time it was not the case!
It was a bad experience. We ate a cod with poorly cooked cabbage, watered with a kind of olive oil that looked more like oil. We also ordered a post which proved tough and the potatoes were not tasty. It was so bad that we didn't even order dessert anymore.
But we were only disappointed because we wanted to... they warned us of the bad service the restaurant was providing.
To the owners of the restaurant I advise to make a quick reflection in addition to not being doing a job that deserves good minhota cuisine, also should not prove advantageous for your business.

Dessert Cheese with jam. I was amazed at the very little amount of jam presented. I asked the desk worker a quantity of jam to be seen, he replied that it was like this!!!! At the end of the meal someone from the staff came to the table informing that he could have ordered more jam and I replied that this had been denied me by the employee. The reason I was given for this situation is that it was normal for people not to eat the jam and therefore put little amount. Which seemed to me like a dirty excuse for a restaurant with such high prices.

With two experiments...
The two unhappy ones.
It started with a Trip, Lisbon-Brufe, the need was our enemy, commitments...
The landscape is stunning (but if they go to the Intermarché for half the price they make fresh, without going to the microwave and find the same stunning views will already notice). A restaurant that looks exquisite, but leaves a lot to be desired...
In terms of confection, I must have had bad luck, because I was arriving in Lisbon and I was still sick.
After a long wait the lunch was served slowly.
With ingredients, preheated in microwaves, after having been made the day before among them beans, mushrooms, puré (may be reason for the bad disposition, I wonder without being malicious).
I challenge the next customers to visit the kitchen, during the preparation of the dishes. The service is provided by the most humble, dedicated and hardworking people... The superstition of the management is notorious, when literally Maria Helena, the manager, is often seen screaming in the room with her employees. They will be the employees exploited.
I'm sad, not to say more.
If I knew what I know today I would never have entered there, after visiting restaurants with Michelin Stars like Pangeia in Nazaré, it does not justify the amount paid in Abocanhado.

I booked 1 month in advance, they confirmed the day before, and... it was closed (it was a 5f) and they didn't even deign to cancel the reservation nor did they respond to the customer's email. I mentioned to the people I was with and who commented that I didn't miss anything because while the view is wonderful, the view for the client is terrible. I confirm!

Estimado Vasco Sabino,
Como sabe enviamos uma mensagem privada a esclarecer a situação, mal recepcionamos o seu email, que mereceu a nossa melhor atenção.
Estamos em crer que no nosso lugar era assim que gostaria que o assunto fosse tratado.

Disappointed us, after 2 very good experiences in previous years. This time, the food was very weak! Entry: A mixture of eggs with alieiras was reasonable, but with minimal quantity. The two main dishes - steamed unflavored veal meat, with potato puré and a trouchette of cabbage were very weak. The meat post of minhota with cabbage cabbage was not worthy of a good minhota cuisine that the restaurant always boasted: very rigid and fiberful.
I suggest a reflection to know what is not going well and how to solve it.
The view is wonderful! The service was good. It's a pity!

A roasted alley that is an insult to the name of the said one. A poorly presented and worse prepared dish. Some slices of sliced meat, accompanied by sad rice and some cooked cabbage... it looked like Eurest's dish from the canteen...
A minimalist steak that looked more like a bitoque, it arrived cold at the table, accompanied by a bundle of cabbage without any flavor.
The landscape is fabulous… but it’s not the house’s merit…

Restaurant located on the side of the road, with a beautiful view of the mountain. Important note the food fits more into the concept of GROUMET. who is looking for the genre of restaurant fills raw forget. The food is very good in taste in presentation and quality. The sympathy reigns, the space is exquisite and pleasant. Our options were otherwise stirred (per ⁇ the least surprised us), orange butter, pepper butter (surprised), olive sauce (optimal). Deer duck (very tender, tasty and quantity qb), empty deer (thin and tasty), green cod, with carrots. (Delicious, the cod didn't notice). Dessert pudding abbey of pride (good, but we already ate better and for less money). Meal price +/- 31 euros per person. Is it worth it? Yes especially to those who like an exquisite restaurant and food more of the GROUMET genre.

While the restaurant is not visible from the road we arrived there by chance after a hike and a swim in Vilarinho das furnas lake. Excellent surprise. The landscape at sunset is already extraordinary. Then a very good table with Portuguese specialties and a superb panoramic view. A caring staff. Too bad only one person speaks English. A very good moment of our trip to Portugal. I recommend !

We arrived and were well served.
The food is good, but nothing extraordinary.
The entries were surprised by the simplicity and for being out of the box.
Butter with orange or pepper won.
The deer is the naco were good, but they didn't fill the crossroads.
After all, we were still going to dessert, but with the prices, we regret it.
Without wine or digestive, we stayed by the filtered tap water, which cost 3.8€ per bottle.
The cost was 70 and many euros for 2 doses and entries.

This restaurant was recommended to us and did not disappoint. The location, journey to the restaurant and views are amazing. The atmosphere was perfect for a group of friends to enjoy good food, good company in a relaxed environment.
The food was excellent, with a menu typical of the region. Probably had the best veal steak I’ve had for many years.
We will make sure we include the restaurant the next time we are in the region.

A superb restaurant with classico-modern decoration of very good quality. Portuguese cuisine worked. A sumptuous setting in mountain roads. A breathtaking view!!
I recommend the dessert "family secret" to finish and an aperitif on the terrace overlooking the valley.
