5.5
Octopus starter was nice, fish croquettes rather boring and with little flavour. Main course: goat was tasty but rather greasy; partridge bone dry with no taste at all with very salty risotto and no vegetable in sight. Cheese for desert: apparently Portugal is not really a cheese country — bland cheeses. And then we paid more than 100 euros for what’s supposed to be “authentic Portuguese food”. Not a very happy experience, I’m sorry to say.
No TachoDear M. Veenstra, First of all, you had the opportunity to share your opinion with our staff, and you did say everything was good at all times. The old goat is a fattier animal by nature. If there is a dish closest to your idea of an "authentic" utopia, Chanfana would be the only one on our menu. The partridge is hunted, not farmed. It is called game meat and is dry by nature. Its recipe is full of aromatics, so being flavourless is impossible. What adds flavour to the rice is what the partridge is cooked with for four hours—not salt. And it is a rice dish, not a risotto. We are certainly not an Italian restaurant. And yes, there is no vegetable in sight because it's not part of the recipe—simple as that. The cheeses you were lucky to try at our restaurant were all medalled at the World Cheese Awards, they might know a thing or two about cheese. We do not advertise our food as "authentic Portuguese." The name of the restaurant literally says "Portuguese cuisine," which is not the same thing. Anyway...........

What we especially loved was the goat stew. Definitely try that.

We enjoyed dinner this week at No Tacho! based upon a recommendation. We had completed a 10 day tour of Portugal and this was our last night in Lisbon. This was a treat to enjoy such a delicious presentation of food delights. The octopus salad as an app is simple, yet just the right balance of flavors...we've had a similar dish-but this was clearly the best! We ordered the chef recommendation for the day - pork neck, sweet potatoes....wow! I wasn't expecting such a plate of tender of pork with flavors! I certainly would return again! Very well done-Cheers!

Amazing food, place and staff.

We had a wonderful dinner at No Tacho. The croaker and the goat chanfana main courses were especially good, and we enjoyed everything else. This is a small restaurant that was very busy on a Sunday evening, so booking is advised.

It was okay, the fish was a special and not to our taste, the salad over salted. Needed to chase up wine menu. Great start at meal but didn’t hit for me.

Set just off the main drag in the Old Town No Tacho is a relaxing setting mixing locals and tourists alike Portuguese food with a modern twist with a really good VFM wine list We really enjoyed our evening

It is our first trip to Portugal and we have been enjoying seeing the sights of Coimbra. We found No Tacho on The Fork and decided to try it. It is a cozy restaurant with great service. We love to eat the food of the country we are in and everything tasted amazing. We tried the warm octopus salad which was my favorite dish so far and also the cod and the chanfana. Everything was wonderful including dessert.

We had a great expreience here. I tried the goat stew which was excellent and my wife had the vegetarian rice. The service was great and we were offered a complimentary Ginja shot at the end.

Terrific food and wine

What a find! A superb meal, we had the most amazing appetizer of hot octopus salad which was a good portion of diced octopus and small vegs and herbs with incredible flavor. I had marinated partridge with a smoky bacon and rice. Delicious. My husband had roast croaker/corvina cooked perfectly. The place is tiny, but the personal service of the staff was exceptional. Highly recommend

This tiny place of 20 seats, gives excellent service and tasty food. It could possibly be improved slightly in the cooking of the pork shoulder, but the fish was perfect.

Service, ambience, wine and food were all first rate. A lovely first meal in Coimbra.

The food was out of this world! We were a party of four and everybody ordered something different and we cleaned our plates and then some! Have been in Portugal for six weeks and have had nothing but excellent food, but I think that this restaurant was the very best! Highly recommend do not miss
