Situated in a former warehouse, Adega e Presuntaria Transmontana has been delighting diners with great dishes inspired by the Trás os Montes region since 1998.

This restaurant has a more authentic feel about it. The menu has a mountainous rustic theme with specialities such as wild boar, cured hams, transmontano sausages, rustic cheeses and partridge, along with usual Portuguese classics. Service is friendly and welcoming but can feel busy at peak times. Those with room left after their mains can opt for an "all you can eat" dessert buffet for just €7.00.
