Casa Das Enguias - Montijo

Typical house that built a reputation, which does not come with knowing how to be and receive. Bad host service, especially for a group. If you can avoid it, avoid it. Also because the food is nothing out of this world, worth doing 30 or 40 km each way. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: €30–35 Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 2

Amazing eels, worth a family friends lunch. Different type of eels dishes that deserve to be tasted. Good service.

I had been a few years since I last visited this restaurant, known for its great eels. The last time I had been here I had a very good meal, so my expectations were high. I invited work colleagues for an informal lunch, in the hope of great food and good laughs. The space is great, full of bullfight memorabilia and photos of famous patrons on the walls. Large, but very nicely decorated. I was honestly disappointed with the food though. The fried eels we had for starter were tough and greasy. The stewed eels that we shared for main course were too soft and watery, although the flavours of the stew were very good. Finally, as we were not convinced with the previous dishes we decided to finalize it with a wild rabbit stew. OK, but I have had much better. The wine saved the day, although the wine list is overpriced. All in all, I think that I will pass next time... A house with the responsibility and fame that it has reached should be much more discerning in terms of the quality of the product they serve.

The enguias were the best! The arroz de lingueirão who accompained the fish was wonderfull. The clams were fantastic!
