Tabafeira - Ovar

We found this place, which is right across the street from the Biblioteca Municipal, completely by chance. It just looked interesting, and we knew nothing about the food it was serving. So we just ordered what sounded good on the small menu. We then pieced together what alheira is all about: a traditional method of making sausage mix that contains meats and vegetables other than pork. The process came about in the 16th century when Jews, escaping persecution by the Inquisition, devised non-pork sausages so that they didn 't come under suspicion for not hanging the traditional Portuguese sausages on their door. The chef at Tabafeira has updated this traditional peasant fare to suit contemporary diners. We loved it, and were pleased that the chef came out to see how we liked it. Nicely presented, my version contained a nest of potato sticks with a poached egg on top. At 9 Euros each, I didn 't find this outlandishly expensive at all. It 's so nice to discover a whole new cuisine!

Restaurante impecável! Comida maravilhosa, um ótimo ambiente familiar e atendimento de excelência. Voltarei outras vezes

Francesinha muito saborosa servida em pão saloio (tipo tosta) molho excelente . A repetir

Eu tenho sido um cliente por muitos anos nas três versões: comer no take away restaurante entrega em casa. Eu realmente gosto deste restaurante porque dá a grupos, para um jantar de família ou simplesmente para um jantar solo, como eu às vezes. Adoro a lareira. A equipe é boa e deliciosa comida, e embora eu fosse jantar sozinho, eu nunca me senti abandonado. 5

Top... Muito bem servido, muito atencioso... Sem dúvida: Eu gostei!
