Solar do Forcado

Traditional Cuisine · Bib

€

It’s located on a narrow cobbled street in the historic centre, relatively close to the castle that dominates the city. Its modest façade gives way to a not-too-large but cosy rustic-style space, whose décor revolves around the world of bullfighting. Here, you’ll find traditional cuisine specialising in meats, almost always featuring a dish made from fighting bull in honour of the Forcados, a typical art of Portuguese bullfighting that both the owner and his father practised successfully. Try their famous fighting bull kebab and, if possible... don’t miss the Portuguese stew (cozido) served up

This restaurant is situated in Marvão, a village at the highest point of the Serra de São Mamede, just a few kilometres from the Spanish border. It occupies a small house that has been completely remodelled by Diogo Branco, a chef from Porto, and Daniel Boto, a native of this region. The concise à la carte here changes constantly according to the seasons and availability from local producers. Three main dishes are always available: one vegetarian, one meat, and one fish or seafood.
