In a region known for its famed Leitão (suckling pig) — as well as for sparkling‑wine production — this place stands out among the many in the area that specialise in this popular dish. Set in a charming house on the edge of the main avenue, this restaurant, founded in 1947 with a family trajectory, lives up to its name. Here, the recipe and preparation of the product follow tradition to the letter, and it is recommended that you enjoy it accompanied by a good local espumante (sparkling wine). Once you have tried the house speciality, be sure to take a peek at the display of homemade sweets that complement the traditional offering; among them you may choose the traditional Pastel de Tentúgal (filo‑pastry egg custard), the tempting Morgado do Buçaco (almond‑egg sweet) and other delicacies. It is advisable to book ahead, as the place is usually full!
