Infante - Tomar

An excellent spot to get freshly cooked food Typically Portuguese dishes, well presented, good portions and fair prices for what is offered. All the times I came here, I was offered another dose of what I ordered, and the waiter insisted that I could just let them know in order to get a bit more if I was not satisfied yet. The manager and staff are extremely attentive, and they are ready to receive large groups, however I recommend you book that with advance. I highly recommend this place if you are visiting Tomar. You will be happy with the service, quality of the food and the pricing.

This became our favourite restaurant in Tomar. The maitre d’ was friendly but fearlessly efficient too. Her husband cooked, and she was front of house. Even though their main focus is meat and fish, we felt very welcome and very looked after by them both. They always have one vegan dish every day, a different one each day too. It became their habit to slip us a spoonful of what was on offer so we could decide if we liked it. Once it was a spoonful off someone else’s food! But as it was a traditional Portuguese dish that we weren’t familiar with, it was helpful to know what we were ordering. That day it was a kind of risotto, only with crumbled stale bread in place of rice, and mixed with strips of green cabbage, carrot, garlic and other vegetables. It was unusual and tasty. Another day they had finished serving lunch. We had returned late from an outing. But they had portions of the vegan chilli available (another spoonful to be fed to us at the bar) and happily served us in the empty restaurant whist they got in with clearing up. So far there’s not been any vegan protein in sight. No beans in the chilli, for example. But that felt like a minor issue, especially as we were getting a Portuguese twist on vegan food.

Lovely food. We had the grilled octopus which was perfectly grilled and charred, wild boar stew which was absolutely tasty. The vegetables on the side of the grilled octopus were also exceptional. Will definitely recommend!

First time here, arrived early. The service was prompt and kind, and the javali tagine was simply great! Recommended.

Very good option when visiting Tomar. Food was delicious. Excellent. They have their own bottle of water that can be bought as a souvenir. Kind of pricey (15 euros), but it is beautiful. Place was crowded and service could be better. Even though, it deserves 5 stars. For the food was 6 stars....
