Pousada De Braganca

Excelente restaurante.A comida é de excelente qualidade e preparada por quem sabe partir do tradicional e com um toque de imaginação e sabedoria preparar verdadeiras "obras de arte" . Muitos parabéns !O cenário de sossego e de requinte e ma vista magnífica para o castelo também ajudam a tornar a refeição ainda mais agradável.Para ir com tempo, para degustar, para provar novos sabores e texturas sem fugir às raízes da região. Recomendo vivamente !

Foi um regresso para experimentar alguns pratos da carta antes da mudança sazonal.A vista noturna eu possibilita apreciar o castelo iluminado continua fantástica, e o motivo da visita (a refeição) também não desiludiu. O couvert mantém o nivel, com uma mini bola de Berlim cujo creme era de verduras, e uns cones de sapateira, mas entrada que escolhemos para partilhar, galinhola em escabeche colocou a fasquia a um nível elevado. No ponto certo de vinagre a permitir sentir a ave. Como principais selecionamos pargo com milhos, onde existia um delicioso carabineiro, e cordeiro com ervas. Fantásticos. A sopa de frutos vermelhos com requeijão e o pudim (toucinho do céu) com gelado, muito boas escolhas. Tudo regado com um quinta da Carragosa branco que se revelou de início entusiasmante, mas que é curto, desaparece rápido do palato.

Aconselho vivamente. Para degustar... devagar. Comida boa com os sabores transmontanos todos. Terminamos com uma sobremesa divinal. Tudo isto acompanhado com uma vista fabulosa do Castelo de Bragança.

This was a wonderful experience, not cheap but well worth it. We visited in January when it was really quiet and there was only one other table occupied. Staff were very attentive, particularly the restaurant manager who began by offering me a red wine to try on his recomendation which was so delicious we ordered a bottle. First of all we were brought a choice of delicious breads and different olive oils and then there were three separate courses prepared by the chef which were all delicious, although we weren't over keen on the oyster. We both ordered different choices of fish which were beautifully presented and very tasty. After this we were brought a choice of puddings, all faultless. When I revealed that this was our anniversary, they then procuded a cake with sparklers and certificates showing our food choices for the evening plus 2 glasses of sparkling wine. All in all we felt quite special. On the second night we couldn't have managed this again so we say by the wood burner and the manager brought us a selection of cheeses, meats and toast with dipping oils and of course the same bottle of wine we had on the first night.

Wonderful two night stay, a mini break within our Portuguese holiday to Figueira da foz, quite a long trip but well worth it. We had plenty of time to explore but really enjoyed the sunny afternoon by the pool. All hotel rooms have a fabulous view of the castle and walled city, nice air conditioning, lovely bedroom space and pleasant balcony . It was incredibly hot when we stayed , 34 degrees, the air con worked well and was unobtrusive sound wise. Breakfast was ok, not the star of the show, fresh orange and peach juice, a multitude of cheeses and ham and nice pastries and cakes , fresh fruit available but also tinned which seemed a bit out of place. We had a wonderful meal at the Michelin star restaurant G, superbly looked after by Antonio while his brother Oskar was the brains and talent in the kitchen, a very lovely five course plus 5 taster courses, perfectly cooked and presented together with some wonderful wine selections. There is true pride in what this family are doing and they lead on exceptional team who contributed enormously to such a lovely short stay…. We hope to return
