Senhor da Pedra

Óbidos


Behind the striking church of Senhor da Pedra below town, this simple white-tiled eatery (the one on the right as you look at the row of restaurants) is a recommended place to try low-priced authentic Portuguese cuisine. It's a classic affair with mum in the kitchen and dad on the tables. Don't expect fast service.

The name isn't signed – it just says 'Snack Bar', but if these are snacks, we'd hate to see what they consider a full meal. Serves among the cheapest desserts in Portugal (€2 for a chocolate mousse and other sugary standards).
