We were recommended by a local business to try this place out. Hands down, the best lamb I’ve ever had. The owner (assuming he was the owner) was very kind and treated us like family. We had the mixed salad, oven roasted lamb, a great bottle of house recommended wine, and a few extras he threw in as well. Very nice dining experience with great food and a great host.

We came for lunch after a tasting visit to a local bodegas. No reservation, and they were open on a quiet Monday in Peñafiel. Reception was warm and gracious. Server let us know dishes which were meant to be shared (the mixed salad starter course, which was huge). I’d love to share photos of our dishes, but we ate them before we thought about it! My cod entree was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and my husband enjoyed his sirloin steak entree. Fun time for us.

We stopped off here on our way from Amarante (where we could not find anything interesting for lunch) to the Quinta da Aveleda vineyard (worth a trip!). I had chicken, my wife, the seafood. We loved our hosts (have no idea of names) particularly a young waiter who charmed us both. Great to watch the cooks over the counter in the kitchen. Well priced. Try to find this one if you're not from the area.

Generous portions of highly salted lamb chops, meaty stews, and garlicy shrimp. This is a family friendly location with an unremarkable menu.
