Restaurante O Cortico - Unhais Da Serra

This beautiful little restaurant had warm and friendly staff and nicely prepared eating that was excellent and creatiw. so nice to find a place in a small town that is so good. on our next tour we will surely come back.

Highly recommended! they have mixed traditional dishes with modern techniques and everything is very good. we had the bark wellington and were completely blown away from the quality of the meal. everyone in the staff was super nice and polite, and we will definitely come back. the trip to this restaurant was for us the highlight in the trip to unhais da serra.

Do not miss this place, we were there at the weekend and liked it so much that we both eat there. we were in the nearby hotel and this is a 5 minute walk. the staff is super friendly and very proud of. the restaurant (big energy) eating is great, I recommend the: free row chicken soup (is made by a brothy at the place) cheese sweet pumpkin dessert. sounds stage? try it and let me know (pictures) the main dishes are all great!

Got friendly service straight away and though our Portuguese is limited and so is their English, we were able to sort out the menu and make our orders. The interior looks nice and the atmosphere is a little bit on the fancier side. The wines...looked delicious, unfortunately as I was pregnant, they had only soft drinks for me to choose from. The food was assembled in a pleasant way and the staff was very attentive and was able to recommend both drinks and meals for us. Men in our group enjoyed their meals (octopus and steak), but my grilled cod didn’t really taste that much of anything (despite the olive oil) and the boiled vegetables though tasty had overwhelming amount of garlic in them. In the end, couldn’t finish the dish as it became too overbearing with the same taste. The side salad was really good and compensated some of the garlic.

We were supposed to go to the exceedingly well known Lenda de Viriato, however we couldn't find a reservation so we tried this restaurant. And what an amazing and lovely surprise it was. The food is traditional through and through and amazingly well prepared. Servings...are very generous and the price is very very good for the quality and ammount of food. I would recommend the Tábua Serrana for the appetizer, it's a mix of cheeses and local charcuterie all of which are amazing. I ate the Costeleta de Novilho and my wife ate the Cabrito à Serrana. Both were divine. The owner personally chooses all the animals that he serves and it really shows on the quality of the meat. We finished with the Mousse de Requeijão com doce de abóbora, an house specialty which is heavenly. To top this amazing food experience I need to point out the outstanding job the staff and the owners do to provide an amazingly professional and thoughtful experience to their customers. I can't recommend this restaurant enough. All the best wishes and successes for the owners who truly deserve it for providing such a great experience.
