Not very large restaurant. Fantastic food. Amazing staff and very good prices. There is a guy who sings the menu for the clients and also sings the bill in the end. An experience to be repeated.

Well what to say about this restaurant ? The food is very nice and very affordable. But the main thing is the staff.... and the guy that sings the menu and changes the songs according the theme and the request from the clients is just...priceless In terms of food I tasted the fried squid and it was delicious I recommend and definitely will go there again if I visit again Montemor-o-novo. Nice comfortable and local placeMore

We decided to lunch in this restaurant after the good opinions about. It was like we expected, when get in immediately understand that we are going to eat and are going to have fun! The owner, Mr Carlos, sings parts of the menu. It was...a rap and fado!!! Fabulous!! The food was regular. All the staff are quite friendly and put us comfortable to customize our dish. If you have the chance, don't miss it. Book in advance, don’t forget!More

While traveling between Lisbon and Madrid we decided tinha-me lunch around Montemor, and went to a ribeira based on a gastronomic guide recommendation. And what a very nice surprise that was. The restaurant is located next to vineyards and a river with a modest exterior....When you get in you immediately understand that you are going to eat very well and that you are going to have fun!! The owner sings the menu. For us it was a rap!!! Fabulous!! The food was great. We ate fried squid and a steak for the kids. The owner and the staff are quite friendly and put you comfortable to customize your dish to your preferences(salad, only tomato, French fries or boiled potatoes, etc). If you have the chance, don't miss it. Book in advance. I was lucky because when i got there there was a single 4-seat table available.More

After some time trying to find this place, we finally got there. And it was worth the effort. The first contact was quite awkward... we saw a man reciting (singing) the menu on top of a table. This was strange at first, but later we...realized this was a delightful and funny way to interact with the customers. This individual (maybe the manager of the place) was charming and welcoming, and made we feel at home. The menu was composed with typical cosine and well served. We feel well served, and at the end we paid a lower than average price for what we are used to. Very well recommended, if you are able to find the place :)More

While driving between Mérida, Spain and Lisbon, we stopped here for lunch based on the recommendations we'd read. A Ribeira is the perfect combination of a local place with good food and an owner who enjoys what he does! You'll learn what's on the menu...today from the owner as he sings from a center table top. And, when it's time to pay your bill, he'll also sing the charges to you. In between, you'll enjoy whatever you ordered.More

I've been there a couple of times after moving to Montemor-O-Novo. The environment is very friendly and cheerful (wait until the owner starts to sing the menu or the deserts :D ), there is a nice variety of dishes and the quality/price relation is very...good! Keep in mind that the restaurant is not that big (it is composed of two not-so-big dinning rooms), so if it's crowded it can get a bit loud. Apart from that, enjoy the great food and have fun :)More
