In this restaurant you will have reason to return at any time of year, as the house speciality, Carolino rice from the Mondego — a Portuguese variety grown on the Mondego river — varies with the seasons, so you will always have a new option to savour. From chef Mónica Gomes’s hands, besides the rice dishes made in a clay oven, come house‑baked breads served still warm, the delicious Rissol da Tia Fernanda (Portuguese croquette)… Among the rice options — duck, fish or octopus — you will always make a sound choice, and to finish, our strong recommendation is the Tiramisù made to order with excel

Solar do Bacalhau
Portuguese · Bib

It sits in a privileged location in Baixa de Coimbra, an area of the historic centre that in the Middle Ages was occupied by merchants and artisans. If you are looking for a place to savour Portugal’s famous bacalhau (salt‑cod), you will not find a better spot! The product’s preparation can be observed up close, in an area where several postas de bacalhau (cod sections) hang and countless lombos (loins) are soaked. It goes without saying that there is a wide variety of this traditional dish on the menu, among which we suggest Bacalhau à Coimbra (Coimbra‑style bacalhau), served in an earthenwar

Situated between the Aveiro estuary and the Atlantic, on the first floor of a contemporary glass-fronted building offering splendid views, particularly from the terrace. The bar features an enticing display cabinet, while the two dining rooms are bright and functional-contemporary in feel. Although the menu includes delicious meats and a few savoury rice dishes, the speciality here is the wild fish, cooked on the open grill, and the seafood. Don’t leave without trying the fried fish (“fritada de pescado”) or the delicious “ensopado” of turbot.

Rei dos Leitões

In a region known for its famed Leitão (suckling pig) — as well as for sparkling‑wine production — this place stands out among the many in the area that specialise in this popular dish. Set in a charming house on the edge of the main avenue, this restaurant, founded in 1947 with a family trajectory, lives up to its name. Here, the recipe and preparation of the product follow tradition to the letter, and it is recommended that you enjoy it accompanied by a good local espumante (sparkling wine). Once you have tried the house speciality, be sure to take a peek at the display of homemade sweets th

Right in the city centre, at the Sociedade Cerâmica Antiga de Coimbra, an artisanal ceramics factory founded in 1824, you will find Refeitro da Baixa. This historically minded restaurant is divided between the pottery workshop, the centuries-old kilns and a rustic-modern wooden dining room, where it is still possible to watch the pieces being made through the glass doors that connect the two spaces. At the helm of the kitchen, chef João França presents a regionally rooted offering, respecting tradition while pairing it with modern techniques, such as Lula com Yuzu Kosho (squid with yuzu kosho)

Located along a picturesque narrow street in the famous Baixa de Coimbra district, just a few metres from the Santa Cruz monastery, this restaurant occupies a former warehouse that has been completely remodelled into a space with a bar at one end of the dining room where you can enjoy a more informal meal. The cuisine here features high-quality seasonal ingredients designed for sharing. We particularly enjoyed the tartare, croissant and shallot pickle, the lamb, cauliflower and honey vinegar, and the Basque tart!
