To Eat in Óbidos
While some of the restaurants are certainly trying to capture the tour bus crowd, there are still plenty of quality dining establishments if you are not in a hurry. The first place people mention when talking about fine dining in Óbidos is Pousada de Castelo, for an ambiance to remember inside the Castle. For a less expensive option that still feels indulgent, try Restaurante Alcaide, situated upstairs and above the hustle and bustle. Jamon Jamon is great for families and for all occasions. Even though they have a more casual menu, the food is thoughtful and well priced and the service is reliably warm and friendly. Make sure to stop by Capinha d'Óbidos for a bakery experience to remember. They mix and knead cakes, cookies and bread in the front of the shop for all to see. The atmosphere with the wood burning oven, and fresh baked goods served warm, is truly unforgettable.
