Restaurante O Chocalho - Henriques & Antunes, Lda.

The owner recommended the shank ‘my responsibility’ I asked my mother and me for raw potatoes, undercooked shank with blood on the bone. Because I didn't want to confuse or complain, because of the covid situation, because I already worked in restoration and, because I went to lunch outside because it was a beautiful time and because I was working at home since March, and because I only had one lunch hour, I asked to the employee half a dose of french fries if it didn't take too long, said k would see, after 30m the potato didn't come. When it finally came, everything was cold, nobody came when the potato asked me if I wanted to heat the rest ... For dessert I asked: is the rice pudding one of those versions of cream milk or is it an original recipe, I said there was no cream milk, came cream milk at 100%, I sent it back. I ordered the chocolate mousse, saved lunch, apologized if k the kitchen didn't understand. In this, the owner, k recommended the shank ‘My responsibility’ didn’t show up. There was our table outside and another inside. He charged, paid if and wasn't even there whether or not we were satisfied. I could have offered the coffees but no. I don't know, in these cases (I worked 15 years in restoration), it usually smooths out an explicit bad experience with low cost, repercussions for the establishment. When I asked for the bill, the employee asked, without even asking first if we like lunch (dessert not included, it was the rest), won't they want coffee? Well, sure. Now, to join the party, not that it is the focus here, but the bad food and poor service, we asked how the doses were, because we didn't eat much, right from the start, and they told us that they were individual, very well. Of course, one dose was perfectly fine for both of us, taking into account that we inform k we don’t eat much and the dose is large (good for some, not so much for others, they want to sell, okay, we’re back to the same, until we accept it if there wasn’t big: BUT ...) Without stress, we ask you to take the rest. We pay 0'50 cents for the packaging. Now, all of this would be highly legitimate, and I would not have written this review, if the food was delicious, if the service had been exceptional, if I hadn’t been able to fry the potato in less than 30m (maybe I had ordered rice that too it was better for the undercooked potato of the shank) if the french fries came they would have asked us: would you like me to heat the shank? If we ask about rice pudding, because we know what we are talking about, they would have answered us accordingly. Too sad for such a pretentious restaurant. I won't be returning.

We went to find a place to have lunch and we nailed it. A table for 2 is available, a very varied and appetizing menu of fish and meat. Some uncertainty in the choices, but the request came and fully exceeded expectations. In quality and quantity. The starters, buttered olives and 2 different pates, were very good. The varied desserts also maintained the quality standard. The house wine is by D. Ermelinda Freitas. And on a next visit soon, I want to try Sangria. One call to come back very soon. Excellent quality price.

Good restaurant with good food, friendly staff, and everything sanitized. I recommend

Excellent value for money. Wide variety of dishes and desserts. Quiet environment. Advisable to make a reservation.

a lot of sympathy good kitchen regional products Good wine.

Me, my mother and girlfriend ordered a serving and a half of chicken. The chicken was tasty in this regard, we have nothing to complain about, but they put all the potatoes, chicken and rice in the same platter, instead of three separate platters, which gives the idea that it was to monetize the quantity and later come if to prove the truth. Then I asked for another half chicken and they only brought me one leg, I didn't even have to get upset, but the funny thing is that it came with the same amount of rice that the dose and a half brought. My stepfather asked for a flounder and that, yes, we can say that it came very well. In general I have to say that I didn't like the overall service and it's home that we won't go back.

worst of all! the olives were good and nothing more. I took a sea bream alla lagareiro, just enough with old and dry boiled potatoes. The wine was sour and they charged me a quarter of a liter 4.80 euros (putting half a liter on the receipt). Never again here, too bad because I live 50 meters away pior de todos! as azeitonas estavam boas and nada mais. Comi dourada a lagareiro, só o suficiente com batatas velhas and secas cozidas. O vinho estava azedo and cobraram-me um quarter of a liter, 4.80 euros (apostando meio liter no recibo). Nunca mais aqui, que pena porque moro at 50 meters from distância
