O Abocanhado
An award-winning architectural gem on a hillside about 800 metres up in Brufe village, with views over the valley. Its signature is locally roasted kid goat.
Located in Brufe village in Terras de Bouro, perched on the slopes of Serra Amarela, the building blends into the mountain scenery and has won architecture awards. Time Out has named it one of the best-known restaurants in Peneda-Gerês. The signature is cabrito, kid goat raised on the Brufe hillsides, roasted and seasoned with garlic, olive oil, bay leaf and vinho verde, served with roast potatoes and offal rice. Advance booking is required. Other dishes include venison shoulder, stewed wild boar, bantam chicken braised in port wine, and cod with crumbled corn bread. The mountain roads are winding, so you will need to drive. About €25–35 per person.
