    As excellent as usual. The meat is very tender and plates are well served. Good choice of reasonably-priced wines

    Excellent meal, with the various dishes served in generous portions (special note to the carré of lamb) and at reasonable prices. Extensive choice of wines, at various price levels. Even though it was quite crowded on a Sunday lunch the place was relatively quiet.

    Excellent rice dish - some complements to the meat was uninspiring, good friendly staff and overall a good dinner, this was our second visit to this establishment and we will be back. Do order the risce dish!

    Nice atmosphere and very good food! It’s very difficult to find good vegetarian options in most of the Portuguese restaurants but not in Vestigium. We had chickpea curry and it was amazing!

    Everything we ate was delicious, our waitress was attentive and helpful in teaching us some Portuguese words, and the food was reasonably priced. We will return.

    We like this place that offers traditional food with a twist (fruits or spices bring a difference without damaging the flavours) that make them more original and tasty. My meat dish came a bit undercooked but it was quickly resolved. Prices have of course increased a bit over the last two years but they remain reasonable. Service is attentive (under less stress at a weekly lunch than during the busy week-end) and the atmosphere is faitrly quiet.

    This Restuarant is very good. My wife's dish, the rack of lamb was excellent. To improve this dish the chef might consider serving rosemary potatoes or adding a side of mint sauce. The lamb was cooked to perfection. My steak was a disappointment. The chef seemed unfamiliar with cooking method and the steak was cooked slowly over a moderate heat. The secret to good steak is to get 30 day dry cured Angus sirloin or ribeye. Put steak on plate, oil salt and pepper. Heat dry pan to high temperature. Steak should sizzle when placed in pan. Keep temperature up, 3 mins each side for medium. The steak I got was thin so maybe 2 mins each side turned once. Also sauce should be on side. Serve with small fresh salad. Desert of petite gateaux was simply brilliant, served with a spray of local cognac. The location cannot be helped but the restuarant has largely overcome the roadside eatery vibe. Service was good. A mixed bag, but we will be back.

    Food continues to be of an excellent quality and well presented but the service was a bit subpar: obviously it was a busy sunday lunch but they seemed to be a bit overwhelmed even though there were 4 (mostly students) waiters. The cutlery was clean but showed traces of washing stains.

    This restaurant is one of the great finds in my life, as I had never had such excellent seafood before. I will make it a point to visit them again and just try the next plate on the menu. In addition the staff was professional, and the place was impeccable. A true pleasure all around.

    Excellent food and lovely people. A bit too much light for us to have a cozy atmosphere, but definitely worth the money.

    Excellent quality food with great taste, our new local restaurant in Cesaredas/Lourinha. Personal service by the owner made all the difference, we learnt about local Cuisine and the different cuts of meat available. We look forward to returning with more visitors/guests.

    Food was good, service could have been a bit faster as the restaurant was not very busy. We ordered "rare" cooked Meat and we have received it medium to well done therefore loosing a bit of its taste. We enjoyed the time spent there
