COIMBRA, PORTUGAL Tapas Nas Costas

 On our first night in Coimbra, we went looking for a highly reviewed restaurant called A Cozinha Da Maria, known for goat stew. Sadly they were closed for the few days we were in Coimbra.

We went to the next restaurant on our list of restaurants to check out, Joao Dos Leitoes, this one known for sucking pigs. We arrived one hour before closing time, but they already ran out of piglets.

We walked around, and randomly stopped at Tapas Nas Costas, as we were hungry and desperate.

We ordered four dishes, but were stopped by the staff as it was too much food. We ended up ordering a hunting sausage dish, a fried egg with fries and mushrooms dish, a house steak, and a chocolate mousse dessert.


The steak was yummy, the sausage dish was like a big omelette and was so-so, and the egg with fries and mushrooms were alright. The chocolate mousse was not very good; it was too sweet and the consistency was not mousse-like.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Pass. It was an okay meal, not a memorable one.
