Eat in Coimbra
The range of restaurants in Coimbra is vast and diverse, ranging from typical family-run taverns to the most sophisticated restaurants, including historic cafés, pastry shops with plenty of convent sweets or delicious ice cream shops with surprising flavours.
When strolling through the historic center, it is easy to find hidden corners that offer a journey through the flavors of the region. The small and cozy taverns are the ideal place to try traditional dishes, such as chanfana, bacalhau à Brás or roast goat. Here, customers are welcomed like family, and the atmosphere is relaxed, often accompanied by a good glass of regional wine.
In addition to Portuguese cuisine, Coimbra is a city that welcomes the world. You can find restaurants specializing in Italian, Japanese, South Korean, Brazilian, Ukrainian and many other international cuisines. Regardless of the style, a meal in Coimbra is always a celebration of the senses, with the guarantee that local ingredients and tradition are always present.
