"Tucked down a nondescript alleyway, this little gem, papered with scholarly doodles and scribbled poems, serves a terrific feijoada á leitão (a stew of beans and suckling pig)."

Simão Valente

"Coimbra's Top 10 Restaurants: Zé Manel Dos Ossos - Particular specialties include the goat and wild boar dishes, particularly the feijoada, best served alongside a fruity, full-bodied wine from the hills surrounding Coimbra."

David Evans

"The soup is just like granny makes, the feijoada superb."

Fatima Stamato

"Another delight that this restaurant offers is the boar feijoada, which is applauded by tourists and by the Portuguese."

Mariana Santos Mendes

"Enjoying a family atmosphere, the "Zé Manel" reminds us a bit of a rustic meal, as one of its specialties is neither more nor less Boar feijoada. It makes you want to repeat it, for what appeared to be one thing, has become a totally different experience."

Pedro Miguel Gon

"Recommended dish: boar feijoada."
