    Had a great meal at Coal. I had the Grilled Picanha (Rump Steak) with Fried Polenta. The Picanha was tender and full of flavor, as picanha steaks should be. The Fried Polenta had the expected crispy outside and soft interior. It was very good. The plating was simple but elegant even though it was just a stake. I also tried the Grilled Salted Cod with Caramelized Onions and Potatoes, which I thought was good, but lacked a little bit of salt. We finished the meal with a dainty Red Berry Pavlova. Staff was very friendly and receptive to any questions that we had. The restaurant has an elegant ambiance in dark hues, making it a perfect spot for a dinner.

    This was a horrible experience. The waiter opened a second bottle of wine without us asking for it. Well, ok, we drank it anyway. Then he took the order and he asked us all (we were 7 people) what kind of side dish we wanted with our fish. We all ordered side dishes. It turns out he charged 6 euros each, while we all thought the side dishes came in the price. The service was extremely slow, but then, when it was time they closed, they asked us to go, even though we were still eating their ridiculously overpriced and late food. Some dishes were really bad. Others were nice. Anyway after paying an exorbitant bill we went home, and one girl from our group spent the night throwing up.

    Excellent food and wonderful hospitality in a fresh and comfortable atmosphere. We started with a cocktail and the outstanding couvert, which featured perfectly brined olives and delectible pork rinds. We moved onto wine and grilled bone marrow, both of which were delicious. We then shared the wonderful chuleton, and I savored my first baked potato in Portugal. Our desserts were the perfect finishing touch to a fantastic meal - we'll be back!

    Delicious steak restaurant at the end of the street from the town square with a trendy atmosphere. We were the only ones upon opening at 19:00 but by about 20:00 more people showing up. Starter of pork crackling, bread, and an interesting tomato butter. Great steaks, which come with mini corn on cob. Baked potato with cheddar and sour cream was delicious but enormous!

    Nice food, good concept. The grilled bone marrow (tutano grelhado) is super tasty. The bife alto da vazia is very good, but you have to order and pay for the side dish separately. As a side dish, I recommend the fried polenta, and the cheddar potatoes, but count on an extra 5€ for each side dish. The decor is simple and beautiful, made with good taste. There is an outdoor area which is very nice and full of atmosphere. Given that the street is for pedestrians only and no vehicles are allowed, the ambience of the outside area is even better. One negative point that myself and the three persons I dined with noticed, was that the waiter was very passive aggressive towards us, almost as if he was angry whilst waiting our table and very rough every time he talked to us. He portrayed an unhappy demeanour, almost as if he was doing us a favour. Simply put, that waiter was weird and uncool.

    Excellent lunch. Wine was 11 years old (24€); perfectly baked lambchops (5) The wife had tuna fish. Two large pieces. Delicieus sauce accompanied the meals. Worth stopping here

    I would have given a 4.5 if I could : the meat was amazing - we got the entrecôte to share. It was perfectly cooked ! My husband’s cheddar potatoe was also suuuper tasty, and the mint tea was a perfect end to the dinner. I only don’t give 5 stars because I’ve had better truffle risottos, it was a bit overcooked and too “milky” (I don’t know how else to describe it). The staff was also really nice, attentive and polite ! Another + is that Coal is situated in a very cosy restaurants’ street with twinkle lights outside and all - such a perfect holiday vibe 😊😊

    The service is a little cold but functional. They don't have fillet? Seems a bit strange to me. The sides are quite nice. The wine is decent.

    Coal is a stylish restaurant with nice staff and verity of delicious foods. I tried so many foods in Coal and I enjoyed most of them. My favorite dishes are starters and side-dishes which you cannot find anywhere else. Also code dish liver is something very interesting and delicious which I’ve never tried before. Chicken heart, portobello mushrooms and baked potato with cheese are my favorite side dishes. Other fishes are good but I didn’t like steaks. Highly recommend this place especially to finger food lovers.

    What a great place! Cozy & stylish interiors, very friendly people, amazing food and great service! Will surely come back! 🤍 Thank you, Coal, for this lovely dining experience!

    Best tuna steak I've ever had! Cooked perfectly so it melted in the mouth and delicious with the salsa Verde. Good roast vegetable side. Sweet potato was a bit too cheesy for my liking but I'd go back for the tuna steak.

    Alarm to Owner: Meat is not good. We spent 113 euro for meat that is worse then any meat I have ever tasted. It was properly grilled - cook did whatever he can, but meat is not for stakes or it is not properly aged. Owner come and try. If you won't, I don't think this place have chances to survive.

    I thought the tomahawk was terrific. Staff was attentive but rushed us out throughout the meal. The sauces were great, too!

  • 1/5 Mara B. 1 year ago on Google
    Overall, it's a restaurant not to be repeated. Food: Tasty, but we ordered the meat medium/rare and it came cooked and dry. On the other hand, the Tutano and the fries were divine. Service done by teenagers who understand little about restaurant service. It took us 3 hours on a whole meal. People who arrived later received their meal before us. If you go with children, be aware that the bathrooms are disgusting. Overall, we will not repeat.

    Great food and friendly staff. Good value and portion sizes. We all loved the food.

    Awesome food at this restaurant. The customer service was delightful as well. The olives and bread were tasty in addition to the good food. We all had different food options at the table, so we could enjoy each other’s food. The baked potato was really good and so was the tuna steak. I recommend you trying the restaurant if you are in the area. They have indoor and outdoor seating available as well. The waygu steak was superb.

    This is the place for the meat lovers! Excellent food. The entrecote was perfect grilled and the fries with truffled mayo was amazing. The portions is big and good for one person. The service was also great and very patient even being a tourist. For sure I’ll come back again.

    Probably here is the worst restaurant I visited in Portugal. Ordered two medium rare and well-done, but medium rare were completely rare steak- Steak was undercooked and basic trimming of muscle was missing. This is basic for steak restaurant though, So steak was like a rubber. Staffs never check our table or bring the menu. Every time we had to call them. Pint cup was stinky, so I gave up to finish my beer pint..

😐 So, firstly, the food here was very good! The starters were very tasty and huge portions (so beware unless you're really hungry), and the pizzas we had were delicious. And if you have a table by the window facing the sea, the view is lovely. However... overall experience was soured by poor service....

👍👍 Perfection. Spider crab was very well cooked, and was cut and set to eat with least effort. Steamed octopus was so tender and seafood rice had rich taste. And all the foods went so well with green wine. Wish I could visit again.
