Taverna da Raposa |

Great experience
Today I had a great experience! Returning from Santarém, I discovered that the usual restaurant was closed, and decided to try something new, around Rio Maior. I remembered that a few weeks ago I was surprised by the references (I didn't remember where) to two good restaurants in Rio Maior. I live in the area, have some friends from there, and their names were never mentioned in our conversations - strange! |
I decided to try one of them but, as it usually happens, didn't remember the names, only a ténue idea of their location, close to the center.
Walking in the area, I saw a name that, for sure, was one of them - Taberna da Raposa. That was it!
Well... a great lunch.The ambiance nice, small and cozy with a typical look, discreet and with good taste, and the service was gentle. We ordered grilled fish and meat, and it took some minutes, but the starters where excellent.
The best way to describe the two dishes is "look at the picture". Everything was delicious, leaving no space for desert, only a good coffee.
I couldn´t believe in the price - 20.50€ for all.
We verified that our choices, both listed at 10€ were included as "dishes of the day", by 6.50€ and that explains everything, but eating with that quality, with such quantity (I ordered the usual smallest jar of wine and had to double it) is remarkable.
Yes, I will return, and exiting I saw the logo that explained where did I see the references - Tripadvisor.
Favorite Dishes: Lagartos, Grilled squids
Address: Travessa da estalagem

Ups and downs
Sometimes, in this restaurant, you have an experience to remember. Next, another one to forget. I never met a restaurant with such an unbalanced service, but ups are high, and downs only regular, so you may take a chance, expecting to coincide with one of the positive days.

Self catering in the park
In the southern end of Aire and Candeeiros Natural Park, close to Rio Maior, two rural houses and windmills were adapted to short term renting. The place is isolated and steep, but cheap and close to most attractions of central Portugal. Address: Alto da Serra (well signposted) Directions: Close to Venda das Raparigas, 500 meters after the turn in IC2 to Rio Maior, the signs will be at your left, just before reaching the Alto da Serra.

It's a big restaurant, prepared to large groups and special events. I was there in a marriage, everything was good, but I don't know the regular and common service
