O Tabuleiro

A lively, good-value Portuguese home-style restaurant on the Old Town's pedestrian street, popular with visitors and families; grilled meats are a standout.

Located on Rua Serpa Pinto, the pedestrian street in the Old Town, a few minutes' walk from Praça da República. The name comes from Tomar's famous Festival of the Trays (Festa dos Tabuleiros). It serves typical Portuguese home cooking. Recommended dishes include charcoal-grilled steak and roast pork, with generous portions and good prices, and it can accommodate groups. It has consistently ranked near the top of Tomar restaurants on TripAdvisor and is recommended for families and budget meals. Book ahead on weekends. Expect about 12–20 euros per person.
