Dona Bia

This site, which goes unnoticed in the midst of all the restaurants in the area, is really exceptional. Traditional food of the region, with a wide range of fish and seafood, although the great star of its menu are its rice, the lobster is a real delight. We arrived without reservation that is not the most convenient, the price is in the average of the area. The staff is so kind, and the design of the space is do nice. In short, a must to visit place if you are near here

I have been going to Dona Bia restaurant for years (its the type of restaurant that is part of your growing up memories) and the food and service always was/is the best, I was always treated as part of the family; I moved to a different country and it has been 6/7years since I visit D.Bia. I went back this year 2020, and during COVID-19, and I must say; the restaurant has undergone a facelift but the things that matter, the delicious food is still as I remember! The food is still as delicious as I remembered, the high standards of service are still there ! The safety measurements for this pandemic are in place. I still feel like I’m the most special client (that’s the way they always make you feel) in-spite the restaurant is always full/active, the staff goes out of their way to accommodate your request and the way you want your food! The food is so tasty that there are no words to describe it, except food from heaven. I highly recommend the visit

We had a recommendation to try Dona Bia amongst the choices of where to go for dinner during our stay in Carvalhal. Don’t mistake the fact that you might drive past without noticing but this restaurant had it all - fantastically flavoursome food, clearly prepared honestly and with care, a down to earth local atmosphere and a very hospitable staff notwithstanding a language barrier. BIG SHOUT OUT to the lovely CLAUDIA who served us attentively and with an unforgettable smile … obrigada Claudia x

Dona Bia is one of that restaurants on the side of the road when you pass by, you can't really "evaluate" how good it is. This one you can't miss and you really have to visit! The food quality is great and very tasteful! The service is ok, the staff is helpful. Be aware the restaurant is usually quite crowded and you will probably have to wait to get a table. Nevertheless, it totally worth the wait. Incredible restaurant!
