O Quintal - Setúbal

From the outside this place is very deceiving, just looks kind of ordinary but when you step inside you realize that you’re entering an establishment with a great history, culture, local cuisine, great service and an asset to the community. It’s worth taking the walk from the city center [just a few minutes] to move away from the higher-priced cafes near the Harbour. The portion sizes are generous. I had one portion of sardines with mixed salad, and it was sufficient for two people. It came served with potatoes and of course all the extras [olives, bread, pate, etc] A half liter of decent wine for three euros was not extortionate. Highly recommended, and if I return to Setubal this will be the first place on my list of visit.

We were just passing through and needed to stop for lunch.it's always risky when you haven't researched a good place for lunch but we took a chance on this place and it was worth it! The food was very nice (even a home-style chicken soup), generous portions without going over the top and the staff and service was friendly and efficient. It wasn't quiet as it was quite full with hungry customers but we were still able to talk over lunch comfortably. We paid about 20€ for 2.5 people (our 8 year old shared my main dish) and everyone liked their food. I now have a place to have lunch when I am in Setubal!

O Quintal<br/ <br/ Rainy mornings are best spent indoors, under warm fleece blankets and having a good movie airing. Add some hot chocolate with marshmallows or a hot bowl of lobster bisque to the equation and you’d have the perfect formula for a chilly, rainy morning. However, on a particular one I had to go run errands around town, leaving me little time to be able to prepare breakfast. Luckily, cafés are everywhere in the city so I made a quick stop at one that was right along the way – O Quintal.<br/ <br/ Upon entering, I was welcomed warmly. And by this I mean the staff were hospitable and that the café was literally warm; it was, at the time, a safe haven, an escape from the icy air and the mean rain outside. It also made me feel as if I was seated in front of a fireplace on a snowy winter morning. Anyway, as I wanted light bites and a cup of coffee, I got myself a sausage in a puff pastry, two pasteis de bacalhau and a cup of coffee. I looove the pastel the bacalhau – not only was it huge, it was also delightful and still toasty. The sausage in a puff pastry could’ve used a little more crunch, but other than that I thought it was definitely filling. The coffee, as usual, didn’t fail to be lovable.<br/ <br/ All in all, this breakfast experience was a nice twist from my usual day-to-day routine. The café was an extension to a restaurant of the same name and owner, and it caters to special occasions. With what I’ve tried so far, I am looking forward to being treated to a pleasurable meal at the restaurant proper.<br/

Espaço muito agradável, preço acessível, uma ótima comunicação e muita simpatia com os clientes, e um preço excelente. Os secretos de porco preto são sem dúvida de chorar por mais! Recomendo!

Bom restaurante onde se comeu boa sardinha, gostei do local, que seja sucesso.
