Restaurante Giro Churrasqueira

I really enjoyed my dinner here. We chose from their specialties and were not disappointed! The waiter was very friendly, helped bridge our gap between English and Portuguese. It may be difficult to choose among all clean restaurants in this area, you will be satisfied with this.

The restaurant was wonderful. My wife had shrimps with Calamari. I had the goat in red wine. We also ordered greens to accentuate the meal. Everybody was great. The service was good. We had a nice evening. There was more food than my wife and I could eat.

Great! You have to go there. Great food, nice service!

The restaurant is located in a beautiful quiet alley in the historic part of Coimbra and very cozy to eat. The dishes we order, salmon with potatoes and salad, and a grilled sea bass with rice and spinach (house speciality) were very delicious, along with white wine, and the service was excellent.

Popped in here during Portugal's final showing in the World Cup (sadly , and we were pleasantly surprised to find plenty of seating AND the soccer match playing on a little TV in the corner. [As the evening wore on, this restaurant started to become quite a bit more popular] We decided to eat some of the appetizer plates they brought (in Portugal, you are charged an extra fee if you choose to eat these, but the bread and cheese looked very good and we weren't disappointed! We ordered the chanfana (goat stew and the calamari and prawn skewers. Both were very good, and HUGE portions. We also got a bottle of the house red wine, and it was quite good for the price (looking around, EVERY table was drinking either the white or red house wines... just too good of a value! Like a lot of Portuguese food, it was a little salty, but overall one of our best meals in the country so far.
