The restaurant does gastronomic research and each time you go there you get something new. The menu includes a brutal buffet of traditional portuguese entries and desserts plus two main courses delivered to you at the table. It may seem a steep price but trust me you get your moneys worth. Go there, enjoy the other stuff it has to offer and eat well. :

For 30 Euros they give you a huge buffet of starters, an even bigger buffet of desserts, and two main entrees. The day we went the entrees were octopus and duck, neither of which I eat, but when I told the waiter, he offered to make me lamb chops. Very accommodating. It is part of the lovely little Museum of Bread in the village of Seia in the Serra de Estrella.

The exhibits are well done and cover everything from the farming process to socio and political issues of farming and bread-making over the years. There is also a wonderful hands-on portion for kids. The only thing I would recommend is more English-translation brochures available as there was only one left to share amongst 10 of us when we visited. It’s a good problem to have though, as it proves the popularity of the museum as an attraction in the area!

What is lacking is consistent customer service and sampling, etc. I called and asked questions prior to going and it felt like I was inconveniencing the person on the phone. In addition, she could answer my questions about prepaying tickets. The staff in the little store were also fairly indifferent and couldn't be bothered. Overall, worth the cost.
