Adega Do Sossego - Melgaco

Small family run restaurant that requires a reservation although in our case, apparently as is normal, that was turning up and being told when we could come back, luckily only a twenty minute wait. Unassuming first floor restaurant in a building constructed in local stone and decorated in typical local style. Basically there are two people running the place, one cooks and the other serves. Service was first class not wanting in any way at all and the food was excellent. Everything we had tasted sublime, wonderfully prepared and presented. Menu is not expansive, local dishes with a section of meat that was melt in your mouth and fish that was equally good. There are croquettas from the house to munch on while choosing dishes. The plan was for three of us to have soup to start and I would have the Cabeça Fumada (smoked pigs head) which was truly divine, even my wife who will try a taste of most food but normally draws a line at this type of dish, tucked in. Then for me a selection of cheeses and some local ham,with two sharing the steak on the bone and one having the cod, with some salad to share. What happened was we all shared the pigs head, cheese and hams as starters and then tucked into the meat and fish. All washed down with jugs of local green wine and accompanied by heaps of local bread. A truly memorable experience that left us all full and having enjoyed excellent food in a wonderful atmosphere at a price that represented terrific value.

I recommend very much this restaurante in cold nith its great choice for have warm and confortable meal good service and sympathy, very good quality of food and wine, higth price good quality

Never attempt to go there without a reservation. They are nice, excellent food but they only accept people with reservations. And we can see why, they are always at top

I recommend. The meat is excellent and the wine, Alvarinho, is great. The staff is nice and the place is confortable.

Limited menu but great meal (steak). One portion enough for two. Watch out for wine prices, paid 11 euros for a jug (not bottle) of house wine, bit steep to say the least!
