What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Taberna da Villa is lauded for its top-notch service and delicious Portuguese cuisine, with generous portions of meat being a frequent highlight. Diners praise the lovely atmosphere and unique desserts. However, some find the prices a bit high for the overall experience, and one reviewer noted that the francesinha could be improved.
"I’ve been here several times and it never disappoints! Service is top notch with delicious food. If you’re into seafood, I highly recommend the Taboa do Mar!"
Rodney Lorica
"We got the Nacos and the portion for 2 was really generous, the meat was lovely cooked, perfect medium rare on the inside.
The fries are better than most places for sure.
The chamuças with apple puree seemed like a weird pairing at first but it was actually really good. Not sweet
We got the dessert which says it is made to split between 4 to 5 people and honestly I say you can easily split it between like 6 or 7.
All of the 5 options were good, but special highlight to the apple crumble and the cheesecake!"
Sérgio De Sousa
"Picturesque restaurant with good quality Portuguese food. Highly recommend the “bacalhau com broa e grelos!”.
The francesinha could be better if fresh sausage was grilled and mortadella was used instead of ham. Also, we suggest to the management to add the price of the half doses to the menu and to add the price of the champagne sangria (18€)."
