"My husband and i visited this restaurant on several occasions between January and March 2025 whilst on our 6 weeks holiday in Vila Real San Antonio. Popular place with the locals, and very reasonable prices.. Food good value for money and tasty.. On our first visit we had the set 3 course 10 euros menu one lunch time, the waiter forgot to ask which dessert we wanted, we didn't bother mentioning they forgot our desserts, but never mind, we were quite full anyway. We visited on several more occasions but in the evening.. I started with coverts, bread, olives, butter, pate and a main meal for 8 euros...my bacalhau com Nata, rice, & salad was delicious.. Hub had coverts, then Turkey in creamy mushroom sauce with rice, chips & salad,10 euros,.. good wholesome food, and generous portions.. We didn't order desserts because we were too full. Overall a great economical restaurant, plenty of seating inside, and some tables outside.. the staff are friendly.. Pedro, one of the waiters was very efficient, helpful, and accommodating. I Recommend to book a table to avoid disappointment, especially for the evening, alot of locals eat regularly there, so we always booked a table. If we ate at 7-7.30 it was quieter, can get busy after 8.pm onwards. No Car park, only street parking or pay car parks nearby. We are definitely visiting the Taberna restaurant again later this year when we holiday in Vila Real San Antonio."
