The Restaurant Varanda do Casal

A wonderful discovery in the Casal de São Simão

“Varanda do Casal” Restaurant is one of the wonders of the small “Casal de São Simão” Shale Village, 25 minutes from Coimbra. A modern space that offers traditional flavors, “where you want to be and you want to return”. With a view to the shale village and Serra da Lousã splopes, the “Varanda do Casal” Restaurant invites you to relax and to relive ancient flavors. The menu includes dishes such as “Tiborna de Bacalhau”, “Cabrito com Castanhas assado em forno de lenha”, “Borrego dos Casamentos” and “Bucho de Porco Recheado”. But we advise you to leave a space for one of the equally delicious homemade desserts. We are talking about for exemple the “Tigelada” and “Tarte de Laranja” also made in wood oven. Before or after the meal you can explore the small village, of mostly a single street. With a 15-minute walk along the hiking path, you will find a place of unparalleled beauty: the Fluvial Beach of the “Fragas de São Simão”. Here you can breathe fresh air. There is also a viewpoint where one can dazzle even more with the landscapes of the zone. Contact the “Varanda do Casal Restaurant”: 236 628 304; closed on Mondays.
