    Gorgeous restaurant with very high quality traditional Portuguese dishes with some chef flare. Love that they have some Coimbra region specialties, especially for dessert.

    Not for the first time I had an amazing meal here. Staff are attentive and helpful, but not pushy or over the top. The food as excellent as ever!

    The food was authentic and delicious. I had the sea bass. My husband had the veal steak. Both were perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The vegetable accompaniments were excellent. Service was friendly and competent. Altogether a wonderful experience.

    The staff at Restaurante Cordel Maneirista could not have been kinder. We arrived for a 7:30 reservation and were initially seated in the dining room. About 10 minutes later they invited us to move into the glass enclosed view dining room as a table had come open. They helped us decide what to have as an aperitif, what to have as a main, and which wine to have. All the food was excellent and their kindness will never be forgotten!

    Food was very tasty, beautiful presentation, choice of vegetables very unique. Diogo's knowledge of wines was outstanding. The dining room and terrace with a view are also very nice.

    Dear Grazyna, thank you for your words :) Until your next visit.

    The restaurant is located in a very strange location opposite a block of flats, but the food is great. I had the sea bass and my daughter had the octopus, the best we've had in a long time. The young waiter was very knowledgeable about wine and recommended a very nice bottle of local white wine. The chef personalized a dessert for us, and it was incredible. I highly recommend it.

    Staff were all pleasant, but need to be a little more present and attentive to all guests. Sommelier was good and helpful. Food tasty - starter menu needs more choice.

    Great spot just across the Santa Clara bridge from Baixa. The food was incredible and our server was exceptional, patiently explaining the dishes (in English) for our group of 6. The location is great and while we dined inside, it has a lovely terrace for outdoor dining as well. Definitely worth the trip over the bridge!

    A quaint and beautiful restaurant that is classy and relaxing at the same time. The food is spectacular and the service is fantastic! There is also a delightful selection of wines to choose from (with the help of the knowledgeable sommelier)!

    Service was great and the food was very high quality. The octopus with sweet potato was very soft and tasty but there is still space to improve on the starters..
