Casa das Ratas
A longtime Tomar tavern open since 1939 on Synagogue Street, offering daily specials and local dishes.
One of Tomar's oldest restaurants, it grew out of a tavern converted from a warehouse. It is known for its barrel decor and old-style atmosphere, with wine served straight from the jugs. When the original site closed in 2019, it moved across the street and now runs jointly with Casa Matreno, sharing a menu. Recommended daily specials include duck rice, cod with cabbage and cornbread. It is in the center of the Old Town, within walking distance of the synagogue. Book ahead or arrive early on weekends. Expect about 15–25 euros per person.
Opening hours
Tue–Sat 12:00–15:00 and 19:30–22:00; Sun 12:00–15:00; closed Mon
