Palheiro Do Requeto - Batalha

We were visiting Pia do Urso, a very interesting village near Alcobaça, and walked into Palheiro do Requeto, just hoping to grab a bite. Instead we found ourselves in a nice, cosy place, with a fireplace and extremely sympathetic personnel. The menu is small, but good looking. We tried the beef and the turkey steakes and both were simple and quite well. The desserts were also fine. Certainly a place to visit!

We have visited this place last week when visiting the lovely little village called Pia do Urso. This restaurant is right in the village centre and it is located in a beautifully renovated stone house. We have asked for pork sandwiches called Bifanas . They looked good on the plate but that´s about it. The Bifanas were raw and the bread was hard and it was definitely not fresh. We confronted the waitress about this and her reply was I am not sure how you normally eat this in your country , but this is the way we serve it here... We were absolutely shocked with her attitude and reply. Not only it is a health hazard to serve pork meat not properly cooked but also they were serving 2 or 3 day old bread. Shocking to say the least. MyWorldEscapes DOES NOT recommend this place at all.
