O Tachinho da Té 

Last but not least, we have O Tachinho da Té. What stands out as soon as you enter the restaurant is the huge and full wine cellar, where wines produced on the banks of the Douro predominate. Then it is the view of the mountains and the locality that enter through the huge window. Everything you can taste here is typical and traditional, made with the only rule that prevails here and that is not to tamper with the good products that nature offers.
