All right. You want food that’s Portugal typical? Paper sheets on the table, massive amounts of food? One of the best food experience you’ve ever had ( and I’m picky and very critical)? Go to this restaurant. Very good service. The chief came out to our table to specifically ask one of our friends who is vegetarian what she could put into her food. And than the food came. I N C R E D I B E L! If you’re close by, or far away, you must visit this place!

Tried to book but was told it was first come, first served, so we arrived at 19:30 half an hour after it opened, and good was that because it filled up really fast, although it was only a Thursday night. The place is ”famous” for leitão on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays and most of the diners were chugging in on nice looking pieces of suckling pig. But since we are ”snobs” from the north only leitão from Mealhada will do, so we ordered Choco frito, Entremeada, Entrecosto and Perca, which were all delicious. Nice place and I’ll go back for sure. The only negative was that they had Estrela de Galcia in the pumps, which gives a sub-standard pre-dinner caneca. Sagres please!

We arrived at 12h, we were very well received. They gave us the baby chair right away. We ordered the dish of the day (which was delicious) and the dose is well served, and the service was very quick and always attentive.
We asked for suggestions of homemade desserts, and they were delicious!
I highly recommend!

It's true that it takes a long time to sit at the table, but they don't reserve and there are a lot of people. But it's worth it. We ordered picaña and it had a very good garnish, rice, potatoes, beans, and fruit. All with good sauces. We returned several days.

We arrived at 1:48 pm. 2 adults and a 6 year old child. The room is half full. They refused to welcome us "because the kitchen closed at 2:00 pm. I was speechless. I've never seen anything like this, I don't understand if it's just bad will or an idea and lack of dedication on the part of the kids who were serving. It would cost something to heat up a dose of food or putting some lizards on the grill that are ready in 5 minutes? They leave a child out when there was still time for the kitchen to close. We arrived at 1:48 pm, almost 1:30 pm. Just the lack of will and professional panache? I don't recommend it at all. This is the first negative review I've made on this platform.

Great Portuguese restaurant, cheap food, tasty, wide choice of menu, nice wine.
We went for lunch (6 of us). A bit off the beaten track so nice to find as there are aren't many options in the area
Top tip, order the full rather than half option as it's only a couple of euros more and you can take it home! Eat in or takeaway and excellent value/tasty food

Restaurant quite crowded, for large groups it is necessary to wait to get a table.
The food is well cooked, I ate the kitten (house dish) and was really very good, I recommend.
And the dosages are quite generous, half a dose is more than enough for 1 person.
To finish the desserts are homemade and really delicious.
The only less positive point is that as it is a very crowded site you may have to wait a long time to have a table and then it is a little noisy.

The property owner of the restaurant is of a bad formation screaming, not to mention the brejeirata he likes to do when complaining. Seven years ago I made a complaint because I wasn't served a meal even though I arrived within an hour. Despite this I continued to attend the establishment, buy taste of bitch. I made a table for two people today for a kitten. When I arrived, I said I had about 15 people in front of me. In view of this I said to put the dose in a box that I ate at home. Arriving at the house ( 34km) I verified that what I was flying were grilled pig bones. Since they didn't answer the phone, I went back to tell you what happened. The Owner not only did not apologize for the mistake, but also invited me not to go back there again if he remembered that he had complained once in the book. Do not recommend the place

Service and food were all very nice! We dropped in just 5 min. before closing and at covid times but the staff was kind and invited us to sit down inside the restaurant. Portions are huge: we ordered soup + main course for both of us but one main course would have been enough for two. The chef's offer, the daily soup and the cattlefish were all really tasty! +they have baby chair for the little ones.

At the suggestion of friends, I went to have lunch with my family at Restaurante Cascalheira.
I ordered eel stew for 2 (it's my favorite dish) to be honest I have to say I've eaten better.
The room was practically complete. I admit that with a lot of work in the kitchen, the attention is not the same.
The veal chop was quite generous, the rice was superb, the desserts were beautiful.
The only shame was the eels, but there are less good days, and expectations were high.
I will be back very soon.

Very very rude employees. I arrive at the restaurant and order a table for 8, we were 4 até the time, my friends were just behind me... They felt like insulted with this situation... My family felt in danger, a police case. Run away from this place.

Lucky me to arrive on a Sunday for an early diner as that is one of the days they serve piglet. Fantastic! As I know the portions here in Portugal are generous, I ordered a small portion, which still was good enough to only leave a little space for a dessert. I asked for some Portugese specialty and was served some kind of pastry with among other ingredients almonds. Also out of this world.
The menu is also in English and the waiter was fluent in it.
Later I found out that on the list of best restaurants they were # 2. I happened to have had dinner in October at # 1. Also very, very good, but for my next dinner my choice would be A Cascalheira.

We only tried picanha (sirloin cap), but the quality was great. It came with all the traditional brazilian side dishes (rice, fries, fruit, mandioca, farofa, black beans) and portions were very generous. They also had a nice selection of homemade desserts from which I’d recommend trying “molotov”, a sort of egg white pudding topped with a rich caramel sauce. Prices are fair and service is good.

When it comes to portions Cascalheira wins! The portion they serve are very generous! You need to make sure you are hungry or just share your portion! They have everyday different options meat and fish. I only eat fish, and I can tell you all I've eat there was just fantastic and absolutely delicious! It's a traditional cuisine, and all the flavours from Alentejo are present in their food! And they make my favourite carob mousse in the world!

A very popular place with the locals which is always a good sign. Good, hearty food & great value. Sunday evenings are really busy so probably best to book or go early.
