Great food in a beautiful setting

This was an unexpected find on a quick stop driving between Lisbon & Salamanca. It’s a vegetarian restaurant but everything on the menu (including the dessert!) was vegan. Starters (green bean soup, mushroom pate, various types of bruschetta) and puds (tapioca pudding with chocolate or with red fruits; chocolate mousse with Oreos). Based on food from their local farm, the menu changes daily and is a set main dish made up of 4 small dishes. Everything was fresh & tasty. Simple food but thoughtfully presented. The building is 18th century I think - old stables with lots of stone & wood but with a 1940s vibe! Lovely vintage furniture and cosy lighting. I really recommend this place!

Good experience

We had a good meal at a fair price. The staff is nice and the place really pleasant. We think there’s no need for dishes with so much decoration, but we guess is their signature 😄

Atmospheric rest

A restaurant with good atmosphere, the food was mostly great. The combination of things in the main plate was a bit unclear to me, but except the thing with the mushrooms it was good. The soup was the best. Unfortunately no vegan dessert.

Pros: Atmosphere, Vegan options

Cons: Limited selection of wines by glass

Great place, excellent food

After a great visit last year we returned this year. During our holiday we have eaten here three times because the food was so good, and the staff so friendly. Also, it has a really nice outdoor terrace where you'll enjoy your food even more. To be clear, and responding to earlier comments, they offer one dish of the day which changes each day. They use as many locally sourced ingredients as they can. That is their concept. It might be true that they supposedly serve meat upon request but nothing indicated this during our four (!) visits. I consider this a fully vegan restaurant, and I highly recommend it. Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to give this place the 5 star ranking, which it definitely deserves.

De visitar

O local é bastante agradável e acolhedora, a sala muito bonita de aspecto rústico, comida saborosa e com preços bastante razoáveis, de enaltecer o conceito contemplado produtos sazonais. Se pudesse apenas sugerir uma melhoria seria na apresentação mais cuidada ou selecta dos pratos.

Pros: Bom preço , Boa localização com parque de estacionamento

Serves also meat unfortunately

The ambience is fantastic and the service always friendly and professional. Unfortunately we received warmed up food from lunch in the evening once while other guests that came later had fresh food. On request the waiter said, they don't want to waste food and I appreciate this attitude. But it would have been nice to inform us in advance or sell the leftovers cheaper.
Also they do meat on request which annoyed me a bit, because they present themselves as a fully vegetarian restaurant and so I actually don't exspect them to prepare meat right next to my veggie food.
Nevertheless it's still a good restaurant

Pros: Stunning atmosphere, Can sit outside under trees, Food is mostly delicious

Cons: Presents as vegetarian but serves meat on request, In the evening they warm up the lunch leftovers

Perfection

This is truly one of the best restaurants I have eaten in and trust me I am a foodie.
The decor is beautiful, steeped in history and the atmosphere is very relaxing, as soon as you enter you feel chilled.
Best to go and experience it for yourself, you will not be disappointed.
We have visited the restaurant at lunchtimes.
In the evening they also have an outside terrace and a bar that is very quirky, utilizing recycled articles for decor.
All in all, it is a must even if you are not a vegetarian/vegan.

Pros: Beautiful food and pesentation, Friendly staff, Value for money

Wonderful food and service 💕

Lovely seasonal food with produce grown in their farm. Wonderful and attentive service. The place has an elegant and cosy but also rustic ambiance as a complement to the traditional house design of Castelo Branco.

Amazing

I was there on 18/08/2021.
The place, the food and the staff were amazing.
Just a note: I had to ask to remove the egg from the dish for it to become vegan.
