Manjar do Marquês - Pombal

Restaurant's photo

​Industrial feeding

About two kilometres north of Pombal, in the old EN1, today IC2 road, there's one of the national "monsters" to stop and eat. Despite its size, and the attempt to sell any gadget that a passing by costumer would possibly need, the food is oily but good. No matter if you are a couple or 200, there will be a place to sit and eat. Not so quiet, obviously, but as prompt as possible. And the prices are popular, having in mind that it isn't fast food.

Favorite Dish: "Arroz de tomate" with... your choice.

Address: IC2, Km 151, north of Pombal

Solar dos Amigos - Guisado

​Quantity in quality

A very big restaurant always crowded, in Portugal, means good and cheap food.

However, some places are special, as this one.

First of all, its huge size is distributed by several small rooms, each one with a particular and distinctive image, but all of them using rural artifacts, composing a typical look, suggesting some intimacy, and (important with Portuguese), reducing the noise.

Secondly, the food is carefully prepared and served in big quantities.​

Those who don't know the uses, may be frightened reading the menu, with doses by 30 or more euros, but when we discover that a single dose feeds or 4 people, the prices turn reasonable.

​Though a little bit "out of the Beaten path", the restaurant is a common destination for Portuguese groups, and many tourist operators know already the way. It's a very pleasant experience, with the only problem of parking.
