O Peleiro

$$

In the peaceful village of Paião, 10 km (6 miles) south of Figueira da Foz, this restaurant, named after its past as a tannery, has been a local institution for over 20 years. The menu features regional specialties, including the famous sopa da pedra (a hearty meat and vegetable soup). Grilled pork and veal on a spit are also standouts. Cozy up in the welcoming dining room during winter, or enjoy a meal on the patio when the sun shines.
