“ This place is amazing!!! Everything on the menu is delicious and the price is even better! I can't believe how satisfied I feel every time I leave - we've been in Coimbra for only 2 weeks and we've already eaten here 4 times - and we'll eat here even more in the future! The staff is always very friendly and attentive and make us feel very welcome. It's our home away from home - BEST RESTAURANT IN THE AREA! ”
“ Excellent service, tasty simple dishes, definitely will come back. ”
“ Food is good. Acceptable prices. Only issue I have is that the menu is not in english and it takes time to order the food. ”
“ Dining at 'O Barriguinha' was a delightful experience from start to finish. The father-son duo, who also serve as the talented cooks, bring a personal touch to every dish. Although the sought-after 'barriguinha de leitão' was sold out due to its immense popularity, it speaks volumes about its reputation. Make sure to call in advance to secure a taste of their secret family recipe. However, the 'meat kebabs' (espetadas) we enjoyed, adorned with bacon and cheese, were a savory delight that more than made up for it. The homemade desserts were a perfect sweet ending, and we couldn't resist bringing some home. The daily meals with unbeatable set prices are a testament to the incredible value offered here. The warmth of the service and the culinary expertise make 'O Barriguinha' stand out. The option for group dinners adds another layer of charm, making it a versatile choice for various occasions. I wholeheartedly recommend booking a table and indulging in the culinary treasures this restaurant has to offer. ”
