Food was great, ambience as well! Got a rude server, rolling eyes and all, took forever to get food on the table, drinks, dessert and forget about asking for the check, always looking away and doing something else! So, made the experience not so good, will not be going back!! read more

The place is excellent in every aspect. The location: just a minute walk from the famous monastery. The place: small, cozy and cute (check the downstairs!) The service: quick, friendly, helpful (excellent English!). The food: UNBELIEVABLE! We've had a small lunch sharing two entrees among four people. We added baked vegetables, creamed spinach and salad. The entrees were: partridge in a pot and black pork loin wrapped in bacon with a pear. It was wonderful! Only after we departed, have we noticed two Michelin rated signs on the wall! I recommend this place with all my heart read more

Just had lunch here based on the reviews. I probably ordered the wrong dish. I ordered the chicken in the clay pot and it was so boiled/dried out and couldn't swallow it. The mashed potatoes that came with it were excellent. My husband had the empanadas and the rice and fish dish and he liked it. read more

Excellent Portuguese restaurant in the heart of Alcobaça. This is one of the best places to eat in this area of the country (according to locals). They've been there since 1938 and continue to deliver a quality meal. We eat at Antonio Padiero every year we visit Alcobaça. My favorite is the black pig (porco preto) but everything we've had has been good. read more

Restaurante António Padeiro is a small charming restaurant located a block and half from Mosteiro de Alcobaça. The dining room decor is warm and inviting. Additional seating is available outside at the front of the restaurant. I started my meal with Sopa de Carne (Meat Soup), which actually also had vegetables and noodles. It was a nice light appetizer. For my main course, I ordered Perdiz Na Púcara (Partridge Cooked in Púcara), a dish typical of Alcobaça, prepared in a clay pot. It was served with mashed potatoes, and it was an interesting culinary experience. A beautiful dessert tray with all restaurant offering is brought to the table at the end of the meal; it is really difficult to resist such a tempting offer. Service is friendly. Street parking is available at Praça 25 de Abril (April 25th Square), as well as along Rua Miguel Bombarda (Miguel Bombarda Street). read more

Restaurante Antonio Padeiro - Portuguese Near Me - Alcobaça, 20

5 stars! Amazing flavors. People were very friendly. Best hidden jewel among locals. You will not regret.

We had a great family dinner in restaurant Antonio Padeiro. At first it looks strange to be seated in the basement but when you walk down the stairs and look at the cute family pictures on the wall, you know that you're very welcome! The starters are a big recommendation: lots of different cheese and meats, combined with lovely spreads and bread. A special notice for the main course! It was basically the best steak I ever had! (Tenderloin Peppersteak) They serve lots of different deserts (be aware of all the sugar and eggs ;-)) To sum it all up: this is a five star restaurant, only because you can't give it six stars!! read more

They seem to have two floor levels. We were on the ground floor which looked more like a family room which created a nice atmosphere. The other one is much bigger. The service is very affectionate and attentive. The meals are very delicious, especially the sea bass that I had. Great restaurant. read more

I didn't expect such an incredible restaurant. I had a local dish of chicken in a clay pot. It came with rice and French fries. Delicious and the wait staff was extremely attentive. read more

The restaurant is down one floor from the street level and has a very pleasant atmosphere. There was a mix of locals and tourists with the locals winning out as it seemed to be a favorite place for the locals. The food is traditional Portuguese. I had the chicken in a clay pot since it sounded like a traditional dish. It was a good dish but it is difficult to make chicken boiled in a pot into a great dish. My wife had the beef tenderloin medallions which were quite tasty. The waiters bring around an assortment of appetizers and we picked several which were all good. We each had an excellent soup and a main course plus two glasses of wine each and one dessert for 43 euros which we thought was very reasonable for the quality of the meal. The service was excellent. The restaurant was recommended by our hotel and we were very pleased with the choice. read more
