Shopping
La Vie Caldas da Rainha is a small, old-school shopping center located in the city center. Despite receiving fewer visitors than in the past, it houses several businesses that have managed to survive. The upper floor features a food court with tasty and reasonably priced food, while the lower floor is more of a supermarket area. In between, there are shops for fashion, jewelry, and various items. Additionally, there is a cinema inside and a parking lot available.
Nice place to visit, specially this street that leads to outdoor market.
I recommend it.
FREE Live music (Fado), nide atmosphere.

I didn't like the shopping center! There used to be a children's Zara, they removed it... the food courts on the third floor are empty... nothing new has appeared in this shopping center in 3 years, it's only getting worse, it would be better if they opened new stores that are really needed in this shopping center
Cool place, everything is there what you want.. Sports, restaurants, cinema, clothing market, books shop.. Perfect
Very nice food court. Big surprise and even found there brasilian buffet with fresh grilled meat. Fantastic experience for cca 15 euro all in.
Nice city mall!!! Has many stores and a interesting food court!!! And rideable robots for kids.
Got some new shoes there so I cannot complain. Grocery store is all the way at the bottom. From what I saw there is a parking garage available.
3 story shopping center downtown with a parking including carwash service. Top floor is mainly a food court.
The parking garage is confusing/opaque, the elevators are unreliable, moving erratically, and there's a long wait time for them.

The Museu da Cerâmica, also known as the Ceramic Museum, is located in a charming 19th-century manor house surrounded by lush gardens in Caldas da Rainha. The museum boasts an extensive collection of ceramics from Portugal and around the world, spanning from ancient artifacts to contemporary creations. A significant highlight is the display of works by Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro, renowned for his distinctive pottery inspired by natural motifs.
Beautiful museum extremely well preserved. The history of the tradition of ceramics in this city is well documented and the pieces exposed are incredible. The house itself, a former palace, is a gem, with beautiful gardens. Really worth to visit when in town.

We decided to visit this little museum on a whim because it was raining one day. We were pleasantly surprised by the collection. Housed in a historical manor, and surrounded by garden. Worth the visit if you’re in the area!
The museum itself is beautiful, with a lovely garden. The ceramics shown are interesting and will learn you more about Portugal. The guide I met had a lot of knowledge and passion!
It was okay, nothing to write home about. An old house filled with old tiles and pottery. No information about processes or history. I was amazed by this item though. It said it was a candle holder. But my attention was captured by the amazing amount of detail in the tiny figures. Absolutely fascinating.
Manor house with three floors, displaying old and modern, decorative and functional, ceramic pieces and some decorative glass items, as well as tiled walls and fireplaces. Note also the gargoyles on the building façade. Low admission fee. Lovely, treed grounds.
This was a really fun way to explore the rich history of ceramics! The museum opens at 2pm and costs 6-8 euros but it has 3 levels of amazing pieces
Price: 3 EUR
Time spent: 40 min
Parking: not available

Such a lovely museum! People who work here are very friendly!

Parque Dom Carlos I is a serene and picturesque park located in Caldas da Rainha, Portugal. Named after King Carlos, the park offers a delightful combination of art, history, and nature. It features beautifully sculpted gardens, charming ponds inhabited by swans and ducks, and elegant statues that celebrate Portugal's cultural heritage.
Beautiful park! It feels so abundantly natural and organic! Unfortunately we no longer make parks this way which is unfortunate, but it’s why we have to cherish the most the ones that are like this! It felt so peaceful, sitting and look over the lake. Also has one of the most interesting buildings I have seen, but unfortunately as a lot of others in Portugal it’s abandoned and in a bad shape…

Nice place to walk, enjoy the nature and beautiful lake with birds, two couples of swans 🦢 and peacock 🦚
My friend told me that every month of August there's an event at this park. More foods and items to buy and in the late afternoon there's a band that you can enjoy while eating sandwiches etc. You can bring your pets and there is also a playground for children.
A great place for a walk or a picnic. They have a beautiful garden full of birds and flowers. There is also small row boats for hire which give you a great view of the park.
Parque Dom Carlos is filled with giant old trees that keep it cool in the summer.
The lake offers plenty of bird watching and relaxation time.
There's a museum and 2 restaurants, plus who can resist the peacocks.
With plenty of walking paths, you can get your exercise while stopping to smell the roses in the rose garden.
During the summer, into the Christmas holiday loads of events both free and paid for the family. Concerts, festivals, food, and fun.
It's a wonderful place for people watching or just relaxing, a beautiful edition to the town.
Stunning park! This is an absolute must visit when it comes to having a picnic or even feeding all the animals some bread!
It was a really fun experience that left me happy at the end of the day.
Nice park, could use some maintance. Has some facilities and cafe’s.
A lovely green park that is home to a monthly flea market on the second Sunday of each month. Serene and cooling, with benches under the shady foliage of the old trees and views of the waterscape. A nice break from the daily hustle and bustle and the heat of the day. A playground keeps the kiddos occupied and happy. Nice!

Maratona is a gasthaus that offers delicious vegetarian dishes without any meat or fish. You can also relax at the bar with a cold beer or other alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. The kitchen serves international cuisine and delightful desserts for both adults and children. Established in 1966, Maratona has become one of the most emblematic social spaces in the city over the years.
Really good value for money.
We paid 53€ for 1 starter, 2 mains, 1 dessert and a bottle of wine.
All the dishes were really tasty and carefully presented. The style is modern but not pretentious.
Only downsides: they are a bit too slow and you cannot pay with American Express
Sofía M — Google review
We came in to have a quick bite and drink, it took a bit to order, but ended up ordering some quick bites.
The atmosphere it was good as well as the decoration.
The food it was not so bad, the soups were good, the drinks also good, but the toast it was disappointing it had a lot grease the shrimps and the pineapple it was hot it didn’t tasted good unfortunately.
Next time I’ll want to try the restaurant area to give it a go but won’t come back for the bar area.
I wish I liked it more. The star of the show is the view and atmosphere outside. I think it’s the best outdoor seating in Caldas da Rainha. Over numerous visits I have only found the food to be so-so. Service is OK and there is usually someone who speaks English. I think it’s a great place to enjoy a wine or sangria and some dessert on a sunny, warm afternoon or evening. On the plus side it’s right near the April 25 Praça so there is ample parking nearby.
Making the drive from Peniche to Caldas da Rainha specifically to eat at this place again? I'm not quite convinced. The meat had a bit too much fat for my taste and while the codfish was okay, it was a bit scant on the plate.
However, the chocolate dessert piqued my interest, especially the golden "rocks". They added a unique touch. I'd say overall, the experience was mixed.
great food and good value for money. excellent wine selection—our waiter recommended one and it was spot on!
Superb dishes and excellent service. The wine list is excellent and the food is well prepared and beautifully presented. Traditional Portuguese recipes with a modern touch and tasteful sauces. I recommend coxinhas and grilled bacalhau. Surely I will be back there soon.
Everything was perfect. The food was very good and they have different options. The workers were very nice. Good prices
We went there twice and both time where big failures.
If you're in an urge to eat, this place isn't for you, you'll definitely wait long minutes if not hours for your plate. The waiters are lost and unfriendly, the food arrives cold because of the disorganised kitchen, some plates will arrive sooner than others ..
The place has everything to be good (great outdoors, food is nice) but due to a lack of staff and envy it ends up being very deceptive.
I do not recommend it, unless the owners start giving a shit about their clients.

Market
The famous Praça da Fruta in Caldas da Rainha is a must-visit spot on the Silver Coast of Portugal. This open-air farmers' market, which has been around since the 15th century, offers an authentic and vibrant shopping experience. Surrounded by beautiful art nouveau buildings adorned with traditional Portuguese ceramic tiles, this market is a treasure trove of regional products and local delicacies.
Quality of the produce is unbelievable, I have never seen fruits and vegetables so vibrant, lush and fresh! This market has cheese, fresh flowers, ham, bread, cakes and the loveliest vendors.There are also many coffee stops along the way. Just minutes away from the beautiful Caldas park 💕
Jacqueline L — Google review
This is a must go if you’re in the area. It’s a vibrant market for local residents yet you will see a lots of tourists as well. Mondays are not the best day.
I'm not sure if it was because it was Monday. About 1/2 the stalls were empty.
That said, everything was fresh and clean, and the vendors were helpful. Not everyone speaks English, but I was able to get by on French and pantomime.
If you're looking for fresh veggies and fruit, I would start here before going to the supermarket.
Absolutely fantastic choice of vegetables and fruits.Open every day and all year.People are friendly and like very to chat with Byers .
We found Praça da Fruta das Caldas da Rainha completely by accident during a trip to Obidos for my birthday, and so glad we did! The open air market is a great sensory experience, and the town itself is so charming. We’ll definitely make this stop during our next trip!
Smallish market place to buy fresh fruits, vegetables, cheese. Can be busy but still worth it - best place to buy fresh ingredients. There are cafes around it, a few hours in a good weather goes by just like that.
Mostly fruit and veg. Good choices. Hat and bag and nik naks stall. Dried flowers stall. Craft stall and wind chimes and bracelets. Lovely ladies worked those 2 stalls. Also visited the craft market there on Saturday night. Some lovely items, unusual jewellery, candles, pottery, prints etc.
Fresh produce from around Caldas da Rainha. Colourful tents with a variety of products from flowers, veggies, fruits, nuts and jams. There is snack shop with refreshments and outdoor sitting. Saturdays are best as there are more sellers. Close to the town centre and the D. Carlos park, making it a perfect place for a quick break during the day visit.

Park
Mata Dona Leonor is a charming urban forest located just a short distance from the bustling downtown area. It offers a wonderful opportunity to stroll along its beautiful paths, surrounded by lush greenery and the delightful sounds of birds. Visitors can enjoy leisurely walks, picnics at the available tables, and even catch a game at the nearby football club. The park is also popular among dog owners who take their pets for peaceful walks under the shade of trees.
The Mata is a wonderful place to walk the trails, enjoying nature and being under the beautiful tree canopy filled with birds.
You can also access the futball club here for games, and there are picnic tables in one section.
We also see lots of peeps with their dogs while walking this peaceful place. Everyone enjoying the sunshine, shade, and don't miss the seasonal flowers.

It’s worth a visit. Wish it were a larger walk but yet it’s cozy, wild and feels like you’re out in nature. Perfect shade in summer for a day time walk with the pups or for trail running.
A lovely spot to take a walk or have a picnic. There are many different paths and lots of trees. There is water available and picnic tables. Restrooms are open on the weekends. Great place to take your dog for a walk.
Super place full of hiden secrets.... Just a pity that public authorities senp tax payer money with noisy machines to clean trea leaves from floor .... As they belong ro the floor
Luxuriant urban forest, located within minutes of the "hustle and bustle" of downtown. Beautiful walk paths, perfect for walking the dog or a meditative stroll.
Heat place for picnic or just a walk in forest/park, there are some places for sit, beautiful trees around you, various birds flying around. Great for walking with dog, casual walks or sport activities or whatever you want really. It's not colder than city center so take a shirt or something. Also you can easily get from here to fountain next to thermal museum.
Great Park for walking. And then walk down to the Praça da Fruta for a cool drink at Citrus. Great morning out.
Nice wooded area and open space with fresh air for walk, excercise or to just at still and enjoy the peace and tranquility . . . .

Absolutely loved this place! I had a Chai and a falafel bowl, and it was some of the best I've had! I was very happy to see vegetarian options here in addition to others, and they weren't any less tasty! We sat on the balcony overlooking the city, and it was just lovely. The staff is professional, and the vibe is, overall, pretty amazing! I would highly recommend this place!
great staff, very tasty... fresh juices are my love, they are just perfect! the salmon croissant is just something, and I really liked the rest of the food ☺️
Very nice place! Close to the bus terminal, beautifully decorated, and more importantly very friendly and welcoming staff!
Love this healthy, casual eatery right across from the Fruit Market in downtown Caldas da Rhaina.
Menus available in Portuguese, French, Spanish and English.
We came for smoothies one day and came back for brunch the very next day and lunch a few days later.
Phillip was so friendly and personable and answered our menu questions. When we found out we couldn't sit outside due to a broken awning, we asked if we could order it to go, but Phillip offered us the balcony as an alternative. He escorted me upstairs, opened the doors and asked if that would work for us, since I need to dine outside.
Such FABULOUS service and we enjoyed our drinks and food. The second visit was for brunch, so I had the chicken with avocado and egg bowl. So tasty with pickled cabbage. He had the avocado eggs Benedict and they were so good as well. The Sangria was a fun addition to our brunch.
The juices and smoothies are made fresh to order. We especially love the Detox Smoothie with cinnamon.
We returned one more time for lunch outside and I had a salad and he had a chicken wrap served with veggies and house-made hummus.
We will definitely return on our next visit. Five stars for service, food and drinks. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
very beautiful and cozy place. I took coffee and on the advice of the barista dessert. It was delicious☺️
This place is adorable and the healthy food is always good. I also enjoy the fact that this place is seemingly always open when I want to eat, and I don't feel like I need to leave because they are closing for the afternoon. The food is fresh and delicious, I was ecstatic to find a piece of apple pie American Style. The crust is more to my liking than the usual American type. It's more of a cake type? I guess you'd have to judge for yourself, so get there and try it! It's super delicious and not overly sweet. I don't know why the colors in the photo look gold, the pie is not a strange color. There's an upstairs area where you can go if it's too crowded outside or on the lower level. I like it the restrooms are clean also. Service can be a little slow and sometimes I have sat at my table for longer than I prefer, but I did mention there's apple pie! LOL
I gave Citrus a final chance. I’m not a fan of the food, neither of the generic coffee. And I thought let me sample a white wine. No worries its not a natural wine, yet I would expect it from this place.
But the wine, wasn’t drinkable, too sweet, low quality. And we are in Portugal where you can get great wines for €3 in the supermarket.
So you really have to make an effort to find a bad wine.
I left my wine after a sip and went to a place where they do make an effort to have great wines..

Geo Wine & Supra is a fantastic eatery that serves delicious and flavorful food. The pork chop with vegetables is expertly cooked, and the giblet salad is even better than pate. The Georgian wine selection is impressive, although it may take some time to decide due to the wide variety available. The service provided by the friendly staff is top-notch. Overall, this restaurant offers an excellent dining experience and should be commended for introducing Georgian cuisine to this town in such a courageous manner.
I want to thank this Georgian restaurant for the delicious food and for their honest and open stance on Russia's occupation of Georgia. It's rare to find a place that not only serves great cuisine but also stands firm in support of their country's values and history. The warm atmosphere and the Kindzmarauli wine brought back memories of my homeland, making the experience truly special.

Not a bad restaurant, has little in common with Georgian cuisine, khinkali are not Georgian at all😁the portion is very small... I really liked the corvina fish, I recommend trying it, and the side dish for the fish was simply wonderful!
in the photo you will see "khinkali" people who love them and eat them know what they look like ☺️
Very cozy place with great food and friendly service. It was a real pleasure to try Georgian cuisine and enjoy its delicious wines. Thank you! Strongly recommend this place
What a delightful surprise. We were looking for an early dinner (like 18:00) and came across Geo Wine and Supra. We walked in without any idea of what to expect. Georgian wine (who knew?) and Portuguese/Georgian fusion tapas! Nice atmosphere, great soundtrack, and the service was very friendly. The server gave us tastes of three different Georgian wines so we could pick the one we liked. We ordered the cheese plate, bread (which came hot) and Croquette de Frango, but before those came we were served a small appetizer of pork cheeks, mushrooms and kimchi. Delicious. So much cheese. Great bread. And the croquette was incredible. Oh yeah, we’ll be back.
Very nice Georgian experience with Georgian wines, including one of their own self produced red wines directly imported from Georgia. Very helpful and friendly staff which lets you try some wines before you choose the one you want to drink. Nice tapas like dishes to share.
Wonderful food full of flavor! The pork chop with veggies was so perfectly prepared…
Don’t be afraid of the gibblet salad, it is better than any pate. We also enjoyed the Georgian wine even though we had to try our way through the choices- Friendly service too! Excellent experience all around and congratulations for having the courage to bring Georgian food to this town!
Delicious Georgian food with a very warm atmosphere and friendly service. I highly recommend going with a small group and sharing plates. Will definitely be returning.
Delicious Experience 🤩 - Mood Lodging at Geo Restaurante
Anyone who knows us knows that we love to travel, not only from experience, but we also love meeting people and trying new gastronomies.
Georgia is undoubtedly a country that we really want to visitand yesterday we decided to anticipate our gastronomic experience and went to the Geo Restaurant in Caldas da Rainha. It was a magnificent experience, from the service to the quality of the food. We had the privilege of being served by Chef Archil Shinjikashvili, super professional and attentive, he shared his history, explained in detail each starter, each main dish, desserts and each Georgian wine (very interesting options too).
The starters were Khinkluskas with hot sauce, Khachapuri and Ajapsandali with quail eggs.
Khinkluscas is a dish that was inspired by the traditional Khinkalis, a Georgian dish produced by mountain herders. They consist of small pastries of fresh dough filled with minced meat, aromatic herbs and spices. Khachapuri is a pastry filled with cheese, considered one of Georgia's national delicacies. And finally Ajapsandali with quail eggs which is a vegetable stew inside an eggplant and culminating with quail eggs on top.
As the main dish, we chose the Chef's recommendation, the Chicken because it is one of the main dishes that most resembles Georgian cuisine due to the sauce, which is really phenomenal.
Georgian wines, as we did not know, the Chef brought 3 different ones to taste, all of the same caste, but with totally different palates.
To finish in the best way, we chose the Chocolate Terrine, very very good !!!
Thank you very much Archil, undoubtedly an experience to repeat...

CAIS DO PARQUE is a fantastic garden restaurant and bar located in Caldas da Rainha. The place offers a wide selection of delicious food, including vegetarian dishes and great signature cocktails. The view of the park from the restaurant is breathtaking, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing meal. The staff is known for their kindness and excellent service, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for visitors. While some recommend sticking to the burgers and Portuguese dishes, others have found Asian dishes not up to par.
Just a lovely place for lunch, dinner or a glass of wine. I had broiled codfish with potatoes and my wife had ribs. We split orders of fries and veggies. All was fantastic. In particular the fries were some of the best we have ever had. The service is friendly and happy to speak English. The ambiance with the view of the park completes the experience.

Delicious food and super nice staff. The codfish was very good after it went wrong the first time, and the veggies at the side tasted nice too. The Pad Thai with shrimp was also very good. For dessert we had the Violet Creme Brulèe, which was delicious. The violet aftertaste was very nice :)
The staff was very sympathetic and made changes due to allergies without problem, and communicated well in English. They were fun to talk with and made it a fun and nice experience. The music is relaxing and gave it a relaxed atmosphere.
If you just get a simple drink and a main dish, you could keep your amount under €20.
Went to Cais do Parque with a group of colleagues and we shared some starters and I had the risotto as main. I enjoyed it all and the ambiance was beautiful. There were 6 big shrimps in the risotto and it was very nice. I also tried the pad thai another evening, but it was leaning towards a pad see ew in my opinion. Good, but not what I expected.
Unfortunately the desserts were a disappointment around the table. The brownie nor the cheesecake hit home and I would rather save my calories for a dessert somewhere else.
Fantastic spot – the food is delicious, there’s a wide and equally enjoyable selection of vegetarian dishes, great signature cocktails, awesome craft beers, and the view of the park is to die for. The waiters here are also extremely kind, up for a chat and speak English really well (though will practice Portuguese with you if you attempt it 😜). Definitely a must visit.
In my sister’s words (who had the hamburger in the pictures): “this burger belongs on some type of UNESCO list of world heritage foods.”
We were two couples, after a lovely walk in the park we stopped for a drink out under the trees. Unfortunately, we were surrounded by smokers, after several glasses of wine, beers coffees, we decided to move. The waitress found us a table out front of the restaurant looking up under the trees, beautiful. The tables were very close together. We ordered our meals, starters and bottle of wine and the tables around us were smokers. Once again they were without ashtrays putting their cigarette butt's on the floor. We said to the waitress we are being again smoked out while outdoors. She offered us an inside table to escape. None of us wanted to go indoors, it was empty but for on table of people. So we stayed outside with one Woman's arm held behind herself with her cigarette inches from my seated husband. We all sighed saying that only smokers have the outside's park seats to themselves. Non-smokers indoors. All in all we were passed off, irritated and will not return. Such a shame to have been outdoors, though squeezed between tables of smoking customers. While we tried to eat our meals, enjoy our drinks, and talk in such a stunningly lovely place only to have it ruined. The four of us left disappointed and irritated at the seemingly simple solution to put smokers and ashtrays in the rustic park area.
We came just for coffee and a snack. The coffee was delicious, and the toast was tasty, though a bit too greasy. It was a pity that there were very few desserts — only a couple of options. I also think the prices were a bit on the higher side. However, the atmosphere was very beautiful and cozy. I still recommend visiting and enjoying the place! ☺️
Very beautiful place, great food, the view and atmosphere is so great. I enjoyed good food and the beautiful view of park. The staffs are all lovely and kind and really care for customer. Thank you very much!
We were a large group of about 14 people. The service was very good,the waitress spoke English and the food was wonderful. Good prices. And of course, being in the park, it has a very relaxing and warm atmosphere.

A Ribatejana is a fantastic restaurant in Caldas, Portugal, known for its delicious traditional Portuguese cuisine. The cod dish they serve is exceptional and the portion sizes are generous. The attentive and friendly waitress provided excellent service. The value for money offered by this establishment is outstanding. Moreover, their homemade chocolate mousse is simply exquisite. This hidden gem offers an authentic taste of Portugal and is highly recommended to anyone visiting the region.
I think this has to be the best Portuguese restaurant in town. Delicious food, generous portions and most of all very reasonably priced. All staff are very friendly and welcoming. Sandra is fluent in English. Highly recommended. I can’t wait to go back. Obrigado.

Well this month, November, it will have been 10 years since we found this Portuguese gem, normally eating in on a Friday for the whole crab and getting a takeaway on a Sunday, many excellent choices that are great value for money, even my dog Zabba knows where we are going if I say "restaurant", " its that way " off now to get a takeaway as a change,
A local gem with typical Portuguese food. The Cozido à Portuguesa is really good and really comfortable food for someone passing by the Caldas region. Prices are good and the staff is really friendly.
Good selection menu.
Google effect service by pleasant staff.
Value for money for portion size.
Great meal.
We opted to get something not from the daily menu. The food was amazing.
Great price, very tasty and exactly what we had hoped for based on the reviews we had seen.
Kids loved their meal and we enjoyed our loulas.
Thank you
The best restaurant of our 2-week holiday in Portugal. Super tasty, generous portions, cooked with love. Simple and delicious. Amazing service. Worth passing by Caldas da Rainha only to eat there!
Very friendly, large portions, simple delicious food!
Really good service. They went out of their way to help us in english. Food was really good and authentic. A real family restaurant. One of the best experience we had for real portuguese food. Service was fast even if the restaurant was full... on a tuesday night!

North side of town
For day 2, we recommend exploring the north side side of town. Start the day off with Solar dos Amigos, then wind down and take it easy by the time you get to CCC - Centro Cultural e Congressos de Caldas da Rainha. All together, your day would be filled with about 7 hours of non-stop fun.

Solar dos Amigos is a historic restaurant located in the small village of Guisado, just a short drive from Caldas da Rainha. The establishment has been serving traditional Portuguese dishes for 48 years, with owner and chef Dona Luisa Nunes at the helm. Specialties include fried eels, rabbit stew, and codfish campino. The rustic restaurant features bullfighting decor and is a favorite lunch spot for many visitors.
Absolutely fantastic!
Saturday lunch at its best.
Food: at Solar dos Amigos was amazing — delicious, fresh, and full of flavor.
Service was excellent too; the staff were friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better.
Atmosphere: quaint very typical Portuguese.
Highly recommend it if you’re looking for a great meal and warm hospitality!

Quaint restaurant with a unique décor. The food is traditional Portuguese cuisine. The portions are massive, so always ask for advice before ordering. The cod fritters were delicious. There is a big selection of desserts as well.
The restaurant is big but is very popular, so is advisable to reserve a table.
The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Highly recommended.
Dinner out in our little town in the Portuguese countryside. This little restaurant has been here 50 years and ranked most popular for travellers around the world. Now we know why! Thank you to Paula and Joanna for a great evening and owner Luisa for an unforgettable meal; topping it off with a shot of ginjinha 🍒
This restaurant is more of a destination but a lovely place to drop by. Feels like you are entering the home of a family member. You start by walking past the grill where you see and smell the amazing meats. The back patio is nice but be warned, there are lots of flies.
The portions are large, for sharing. I loved the side dishes that are accompanied with your main courses. The spare ribs were succulent. Better, in my opinion, than the cod. Save room for nice desserts.
Tip: Dog friendly indoors and outdoors!
We have been there several times before already. It is always a treat in terms of service, especially the ambitions people there and of course the owner itself. Yesterday we have been serviced by a hectic and very stressful lady, she was talking and serving so fast that everything felt like clearance. Also the reservation wasn’t booked in their books ( not the first time that the name couldn’t be found), and also the small things which tasted world class before were mediocre, the fries way too greasy. We will be back of course but the price is quite high for the region. Maybe they should focus more on quality of food and service instead of number of people to be cleared.
Great place: nice, welcoming, pleasant, ...
Excellent food.
Great staff.
Lots of great deserts to choose from.
In the end you have a great surprise!
Make reservation, otherwise you may not be able to eat. many customers.
This is a great spot to gather family and friends for a feast of the best portuguese cuisine has to offer! Tradition is literally all over the walls of the restaurant, giving you a cosy and homy feeling. And the food.... my friends the food is the star of the show. D. Luisa manages the place with efficiency and kindness. All the staff was helpful and kind! Portions were huge, e ought to bring home for a second meal. Warm bread, and corn bread that was to die for. A huge selection of desserts, and at the end a complimentary licour with butter biscuits.
We left absolutely full to the brim and ready for a nap! Thanks you and we will definitely see you again!
The 'Capote' was incredibly tender and juicy. Best meat I've had in a long time. Very fast serving time too, even though the restaurant was full.

Nature preserve
National park
Reserva Natural Local do Paul de Tornada is a lovely nature reserve that provides a sense of being in the wild despite its proximity to urban areas. It serves as a connection between Caldas and Tornada and offers opportunities to observe various bird species, with the possibility of spotting mammals as well. The area may require more maintenance due to fallen trees and flooded paths, but it remains a hidden gem for nature enthusiasts.
This is a true hidden treasure for bird lovers! Bring binoculars and a good camera, because there is so much to see here. Truly glad that we went here. Hope it stays hidden because it would ruin it if too many people came here.
Joshua W — Google review
So good to be in a wild environment, yet within easy distance of Caldas da Rainha. The path was quite overgrown, but we walked round the whole reserve on 15th September 2025 in 1.5 hours without hurrying. The reserve staff were very pleasant and helpful. They apologised for the state of the path - they hadn't been able to use machinery due to the risk of fire. Saw osprey, grey heron, common waxbill etc and heard firecrest and Cetti's warbler.
It's a beautiful piece of land but there's very little to see this time of year as it's been so dry. Still, for a quiet walk in nature it's beautiful.
this is a hidden gem. it is not organised, but it is natural and beautiful. less is more. loved the visit.
Lovely place that lets you feel like you're in nature, even though it's in a relatively built up area connecting Caldas to Tornada. Depending on the season, you can see some pretty birds here, and there may be mammals, though I haven't seen any. Fallen trees and flooded paths do occur, could use more maintenance, but this is Portugal
My second visit (February, now July) Both hides locked. Poorly managed. Not much to see
What a wonder nature preserve. We saw otters, many birds and a lot of plants species. Posted birds with Merlin and the plants and mushrooms via seek to iNaturalist . Also will post most of the trail to hiking project. The far side is poorly maintained so if you go wear long pants and prepare to almost clear you own path.
Great place to walk the dogs or just for a walk. Bird hide overlooking the lake. Beautiful and peaceful place to walk and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Like other Chinese goods store know your prices!!
I found them expensive on most products and very low quality
A super huge Chinese Store. From DIY stuff to Paints to Plastics to Suitcases
Very big, a bit messy, and a bit more expensive than other places like this
Only the young Chinese girl with glasses at the front can help. She knows where everything is in that store.
An enormous China shop with a vast range of competitively priced goods and easy parking.
Don't shop here for quality. For those inexpensive throw-away items this store is perfect. If buying anything that may need exchanging, think twice. It is very difficult to get a refund on your money at this store. They told me they don't do refunds... You have to stand your ground!!!
I loved shopping at AM Shopping on my recent visit to Portugal. This spacious and organised shop has a wide range of products and caters easily to the shrewd budgeted shopper. I had a great time shopping here.

Saw a great jazz concert here that was part of a jazz festival. Nice acoustics and size of the room - very intimate. After the show, there was a free wine tasting in the lobby. Finally, t-shirts for the festival only cost 3 euro, and parking was only 1 euro. Score!

Wandered in on a Saturday afternoon. Ordered a beer and noticed a crack in my glass. When I pointed it out to the woman working, she put her finger in my glass and told me it was the design. I could clearly feel it was a large crack in the glass. Afraid I would drink glass, (and having her fingers touch the inside of my glass) I could not drink the beer. Paid and left
The best pastele d nata I’ve had is at this cute cafe! It is fresh and warm. We were able to use the restroom here. And the woman gave us maps and with a nice warm smile!

Hidden behind the cafe out front is a smashing little restaurant, very popular with the locals. Huge portions of delicious, home-cooked food. All of the meat dishes come with an accompaniment of fries, salad, rice & beans and garlic cornmeal - yummy! The black pork is gorgeous, juicy and tender, and the lamb chops are fantastic too! Friendly and welcoming service. Highly recommended!
Lunch in this restaurant was very tasty - bacalau, polvo, black pig, salad... piece of chocolate cake for dessert. Very friendly and attentive service. You need to make reservation in advance, because this place is very popular with local s and always full (though far from touristic attractions). We put this restaurant on our "come back" list.
Nice and quite place, good, deliciius food and excellent friendly service with reasonable price. A must visit with friends and family.
We have been using this lovely little restaurant for over four years and enjoyed some fabulous meals, however our last two visits have been quite disappointing , the food being very basic and being very small portions compared to previous visits, I’m thinking it now has new owners. One of our favourites was the black pork on skewers and Argentinian picana with all the accompaniments, black beens, corn bread and cabbage loads of salad and chips, alas no longer on the menu 😞

Conveniently located with a parking lot right in front, there is also a small bar and restrooms at the entrance for both genders.
Generally good Portuguese food. It's preferable you come with a group instead of alone. The place is very large and hence the atmosphere is very festive.

Good and really good - spontaneous dinner with family. A table for 9 people was no problem at all
Great typical local restaurant. Food was excellent.
The food is amazing. Portions are the perfect size to share if you like sharing. They have an english menu translation and very good staff. In particular João and Alexandre who served us this time around. The tvs are a bit distracting but I know they are a traditional feature at the restaurant for people to watch the football. Lovely unpretentious evening, 5 stars :-)
Good service, good meals.
Quick service as well.
I've been eating ever since I was a child, and the food is as good as I remember. It's no gourmet, but you eat well and their specialty, the boar, has an absolutely delicious sauce.
The restaurant is usually full and lively, so I advise going early (around 12pm). There's a parking lot right in front, a small bar and bathrooms for both genders at the entrance, and plenty of space past that - good enough for a party, if you need it.

An incredible white sand beach, more like a huge sand dune on the sea. Parking is free, but get there early as soon fills up and creates long queues. I have given 4 stars as not many places to eat along the beach. What there is was good, but may get very busy in high season
I’ve seen few of similar beaches, this is my top 3 most spectacular for different reasons - clifs, size, waves.
the beach view is superb.the nights are cold you need to wear heavy clothes night time is so romantic and calm.its very quiet in the evening and good for family picnics
lagoon going 3-4km inside beeing excelent choise in case of wind or worse weather - just enter deep er inside the country and still possible to enjoy sea and sand and relax atmosphere. place to stay with family for sure
Magnificent and photogenic! There is a large caravan park nearby. The sandy beach yields a generous catch for those who are keen to hunt for shell fish. Also popular with local fishing enthusiasts.
Nice beach, we visited the week before the summer season June 6 2022. Imagine parking could be a problem in peak season. The waves are wild!
Breathtaking!! Will make you understand why they call it the Silver Coast as you watch the sky play with the coastline and sea.

Furthermore, the museum's collection gracefully extends into the enchanting D. Carlos I Park, making for an inspiring visit.

This is the first Portuguese building that was built with the purpose to be a museum. It has an exquisite collection of art, mainly paintings.
This museum was quite an unexpected positive surprise. Some very nice paintings, terracota sculptures and other pieces of art from the 19th and 20th Century. There’s José Malhoa, Bordalo Pinheiro, Abel Manta, and several other artists and it is well worth a visit. Free entry if you are a resident in Portugal with tax number.
A lovely little gallery well worth an hour to visit. It's offers a great insight into Portuguese art at the turn of the 20th century, particularly Naturalism, the work of Malhoa and his contemporaries.
Also take time to wonder around the surrounding park which is dotted with sculptures.
The building is located in a beautiful park called Park D. Carlos I in Caldas da Rainha. It presents the largest nucleus of works by the painter José Malhoa and an important collection of paintings and sculptures from the 19th and 20th centuries. The staff are really friendly. Opening hours from 10am to 12:30am and 2pm to 6pm. Entrance is 3,00 €, 50% discount for students, youth cardholders and senior visitors. Free on Sundays before 14 for residents in Portugal.
Beautiful paintings, sculpture represents scenes from the New Testament and other pieces of sculpture are amazing! Great with kids
It is a great place to meet the 19th and early 20th century art. I really enjoy take photos in this museum.
A great museum to further your knowledge and understanding of Portuguese art. Some really excellent works of art.

We found some ceramics for a very nice price. The staff was also great and they give us stories about each ceramics. Worth to visit while we Are in Caldas de Rainha.

Big variety of ceramics from Caldas da Rainha. The second floor has outlet. I went there on Sunday and there were a lot of people. Recommend to take a look to appreciate interesting and pretty ceramics.
Small store with beautiful ceramic pieces. Lots of variety. They also have a smaller outlet on the first floor.
Once ceramics to buy. Friendly personal. Some items as secondary quality are offered cheaper.
Excellent service and products. Outlet shop upstairs for reduced price items. A must stop shop when visiting the area as it sells ceramics, for which the region is known.
This factory store is only open from Friday to Sunday. It was closed when I arrive all the way there from Lisbon… I leave the review for other people.
Nice things to buy. But took 30 min to pay.
Even being Portuguese, I wasn't expecting to find such a variety of beautiful items. When you're there, you feel the temptation to buy original ceramics. My two friends bought several items but I was disappointed with the unfriendly staff. Not even a smile from the staff at the cashiers on the first and groundfloor.

The Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Pópulo, also known as the Igreja Matriz das Caldas da Rainha, is a fascinating Portuguese national monument with a rich history dating back to the late 1400s. Designed by Mateus Fernandes, a renowned master of the Manueline style, this church features surviving decorative elements such as intricate ribbonwork and floral motifs on its vault.
We didn't go inside as we went there for an outdoor performance of "Os Miseros". Loved everything about it: the setting, the talent, the atmosphere 😍

Beautiful quaint chapel , the priests are awesome that president over the su day mass.
Old abandoned places with a lot of street art very cool wonder around
Amazing church!!! 🙏🙏🙏
(Translated by Google) This church, located in Caldas da Rainha, is part of the Thermal Hospital complex, founded by Queen Leonor in 1485. Its origins lie in a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the People and connected to the hospital to provide spiritual support to the sick. The church dates back to 1500 and its pre-Manueline design was designed by Mestre Mateus Fernandes, who was one of the architects of the Batalha Monastery. The nave of the church is particularly noteworthy, as it is covered in beautiful 17th century tile panels. The bell tower is topped by two sculptures representing the Archangel Gabriel and Our Lady of the Annunciation. It is classified as a National Monument.
(Original)
Esta Igreja situada nas Caldas da Rainha faz parte do conjunto do seu Hospital Termal cuja fundação se deve à Rainha Dona Leonor no ano de 1485.
Tem a sua origem numa Capela já dedicada a Nossa Senhora do
Pópulo e ligada ao Hospital para apoio espiritual aos doentes.
A Igreja data do ano de 1500 e a sua traça pré-manuelina é da autoria de Mestre Mateus Fernandes , que fez parte dos arquitectos do Mosteiro da Batalha .
De realçar a Nave da Igreja que está revestida por belos painéis de azulejos do século XVII.
A Torre Sineira é encimada por duas esculturas representando o
Arcanjo Gabriel e Nossa Senhora da Anunciação.
Está classificada como Monumento Nacional.
(Translated by Google) Completed in the early 16th century, this church was designed to provide spiritual support to the patients of the hospital with which it was connected. Built in Manueline style, the church was recently restored.
The highlight of the exterior is the quadrangular bell tower, topped by 4 clocks on each side, with the coat of arms of Portugal on the east side and 16th-century sculptures on the west side. The gargoyles are also very interesting.
The interior of the church is usually closed, and it was only possible to enter at the time of the celebration of mass, at 9:00, and it was not possible to properly admire its tiled interior.
(Original)
De construção concluída no início do séc. XVI, esta igreja teve como objetivo o dar apoio espiritual aos doentes do hospital com o qual comunicava. De estilo Manuelino a igreja foi recentemente restaurada.
Destaque no exterior vai para a torre sineira quadrangular, encimada por 4 relógios em cada uma das suas faces, tendo a nascente as armas de Portugal e a poente esculturas quinhentistas. Também as gárgulas são muito interessantes.
O interior da igreja está normalmente fechado, tendo conseguido entrar apenas na altura da celebração da missa, às 9:00, não podendo admirar convenientemente o seu interior revestido a azulejos.
(Translated by Google) I was lucky enough to visit (on a Saturday, shortly after 11:30, when Mass ends).
Very well preserved, both inside and out. The exterior features gargoyles and curious forked merlons. The interior is lined with tiles.
(Original)
Tive sorte e consegui visitar (num sábado, pouco depois das 11:30, quando termina a missa).
Muito bem preservada, tanto no exterior como no interior. No exterior tem gárgulas e curiosos merlões bifurcados. O interior é forrado a azulejos.
(Translated by Google) A truly special experience! We had the opportunity to attend a weekday mass in this charming church, located almost on the seafront—a serene and inspiring setting that invites reflection and inner peace.
The church's interior is beautifully decorated with traditional Portuguese tiles, which tell stories and add a unique artistic and cultural touch to the sacred space. The service was welcoming and intimate, perfect for those seeking a moment of spirituality away from the tourist crowds.
Undoubtedly, a place worth visiting for both its beauty and the tranquil atmosphere it exudes.
(Original)
Uma experiência verdadeiramente especial! Tivemos a oportunidade de assistir a uma missa num dia de semana nesta igreja encantadora, situada quase à beira-mar — um cenário sereno e inspirador que convida à reflexão e à paz interior.
O interior da igreja é lindamente decorado com tradicionais azulejos portugueses, que contam histórias e dão um toque artístico e cultural único ao ambiente sagrado. A celebração foi acolhedora e íntima, perfeita para quem procura um momento de espiritualidade longe do movimento turístico.
Sem dúvida, um lugar que merece ser visitado tanto pela sua beleza quanto pela atmosfera de tranquilidade que transmite.

Chafariz das Cinco Bicas is a historic fountain located on Rua Diario de Noticias in Portugal. It is known for its intricate architectural design and historical significance, as it was a place where Queen Leonor washed her hands and rested her horse. The fountain is considered one of the most beautiful in Portugal and is adorned with lovely Christmas lights. Visitors appreciate the beauty of the fountain and enjoy its refreshing waters.
Really in the country of Portugal you will be either intrigued or bored with all the historical sites, unless you understand about architecture or design and the intricate work that took place in this time period.

Nestled at the bustling market square and conveniently located next to the local tourism office, Afinidades is a delightful dining spot that caters to both casual meals and special occasions. With its charming view of the Praca da Fruta, this restaurant offers an inviting atmosphere enhanced by soothing jazz music. Guests rave about the exquisite presentation of dishes like shrimp served in traditional cabbage bowls from Caldas, making every meal a feast for the eyes as well as the palate.
This is a very new place. Just 3 weeks. People are frendly. Great food and service.
Joel R — Google review
Today we visited this restaurant for the second time. The first time, the waiter was taught by his boss how to prepare a veal tartare, which my wife had ordered, at the table. The result was underwhelming (the picture speaks for itself) and my dish was also cold in the meantime.
Today we gave the restaurant another chance. Our appetizer had just been placed on the table when the waiter came to tell us that our main course was already ready. When we told him that we hadn't had the chance to eat our appetizer yet, he just made our plates wait. Of course, our main course was cold when it was served again. When we refused, the waiter supposedly showed all understanding and said that our main course would be prepared again. The same plates were just quickly reheated in the kitchen again. Since the boss then went to chat at each table but ostentatiously skipped our table, we decided to just pay. We got a peppered bill with no apology and no coffee on the house. Too bad, Affinades has everything to be a good restaurant, they work with good products but clearly something always goes wrong. There will definitely not be a third attempt.
This please was beautiful, I loved the jazz music playing. Wait was a little long but MAN was that food good. I got the carried shrimp and I credit when the food came out, it looked so good. The presentation was beautiful and it was in the traditional cabbage bowl from caldas. The waiters were so nice to us as well, it was a great experience!
Very delicious food, great service and very helpful waiters. In case of any allergies, they will find a way for you to eat what you want without the ingredients you are allergic to. Gluten free dishes were not a problem!
A very good portuguese restaurant, serving most types of food, from traditional to vegetarian, great service with multi lingual waiters food is really good, their lunchtime tasting menu is top draw.
Fantastic lunch, set menu was fab - service and food exceptional and we will be back again!
My dish arrived cold and my husband's medium steak was quite rare. Very disappointing, would not go back.
Nice restaurant, with polite employees and very helpful if you need informations about gluten free options! Thanks for the nice time!

Nestled in a charming historic building near the vibrant Praça da Fruta, Pizzaria Dona Branca is a delightful culinary gem that has quickly become a favorite among locals and visitors alike. The restaurant boasts an impressive selection of pizzas, each crafted with unique flavors and textures that tantalize the taste buds. Diners rave about the perfectly balanced combinations, featuring light sourdough crusts paired with savory cheeses and fresh ingredients—some even highlighting the unexpected yet magical touch of lemon.
Best Pizza I ever ate in Portugal. You can feel that the stuff loves their work... It almost seemed artistic how much love they put in each Pizza... Thank you very much! We will definitely come back! Obrigadaaaa e continua assim!
Diana R — Google review
It must be one of the worst meals in my life... The pizza was burned and the tomato pasta was still liquid! The place had overall poor hygiene and the toilets were appaling. The standard of service was beyond appaling. Never in my life was I asked at a restaurant whether I wanted cutlery!
Never again.
We always love our experience at Dona Branca.
The pizzas are excellent with a beautiful sourdough crust and the right combination of yummy ingredients. They also have a good selection of wines, and my hubby loves cutting up the pizza with the provided scissors.
They have a beautiful patio for sitting outside, and the inside has been beautifully restored. If you sit in the communal table inside, you can watch the pizzas being made.
And the staff does an amazing job of making sure you have whatever you need.
Finally, the desserts. The chocolate mousse with sea salt and pink peppercorns is the best chocolate mousse I've ever had. We've also tried the pudding, which is very good, as well.
One drawback is that they are often out of choices on an already small menu, including the salad and 2 to 3 pizza options not being available during one visit.
It's a place we return to all the time and take our guests when they are visiting. Highly recommend.
A little hidden Pizza Haven. We had two different kinds of Pizza, they were both delicious! The sourdough Pizza dough was so delicious. Everything was fresh and in generous amounts. We recommend 👌
A great new addition to the dining scene in Caldas right off the praça da fruta. The pizzas we had were some of the best we've had in Caldas. Our server Bernardo was excellent and he obviously enjoys what he does. We got a table outside on the terrace which was very pleasant and quiet. We will be back!
We are slightly obsessed about great wood fired pizza places in our family. We have a personal list of "the best of the best", and I'm happy to say that Dona Branca is now on it.
So, what's to like about this place?
- It's has a wood fired oven. Check.
- It has two great pizzaioli, who make a damned good pizza crust.
- It has an excellent menu, some of them with unusual toppings - we tried the buffula and marmalade, which perhaps sounds weird, but it was brilliant.
- It has a charming courtyard, where most of the seating is located. (There is indoor seating too, upstairs.)
- There's a small team of waiters, and they are fabulous. They are attentive, friendly, and speak perfect English. (Necessary for us, as our Portuguese is rudimentary.)
- The owner of the place also has a wonderful house on the far side of the courtyard that's used as a bar. It's only open some evenings, but the staff showed it to us and it is gorgeous. It's one of the nicest houses we've seen in Portugal.
We didn't have a reservation, but we were there early enough that that wasn't a problem and the staff squeezed us in. You may want to reserve though, especially if you come later.
Four thumbs up from us!
I was excited to try Dona Branca as I have walked by many times. We went on a Saturday night and were greeted by an unfriendly young woman. The male waiter however was very friendly and suggested an appetizer, the small pizza dough sticks with a variety of sauces (delicious). We each ordered a different pizza. They were very good but on the smaller side considering the price.
Unfortunately we were also served by the young woman who was rude and unpleasant. She seemed miserable and unhappy whenever she approached our table. Basic pleasantries and a smile go a long way.
Staff of an establishment is just as important as its food quality in my opinion.
The service was great and the pizza was absolutely delicious!! We can highly recommend this pizza place 😊
We were even shown the neighbouring bar which has a very inviting ambience. We‘ll check it out in the next days!

The food was delicious, the service very friendly and the portiond were very big. We took our leftovers with us. There were also a lot of vegetarian options, which was great!
A great little local Indian restaurant that we visit every time we come to Portugal. The staff are always lovely and the food is delicious!
I love Indian food, and this is a good example of an Indian restaurant. I simply loved it, the guys are amazing, the food is great, just as we expect, and the price is actually pretty good for what we eat.
Going back there for sure.
Absolutely amazing food for great prices!
I am an usual customer here for more than 10 years either for takeaway or in the restaurant. The quality is been decreasing slowly and now they reduced the size of the containers dor takeway dramatically but kept the prices. What a huge increase in prices. There are other options in Caldas that are becoming better.
We arrived later then expected and we still could eat there although they closed at 15:00. Bothe the kitchen and us did our best to keep the tempo a bit up. Together we managed to finish a 3 course meal at exactly 15:00. So my compliments for the service and the hard work.
Besides that the food was good too. Nice pickles tray with pappadums. The Dal soup was okay. The Tikka masala was very tasteful with tender chicken. The saag paneer was also smooth but a little flat, some more herbs would be better. I loved the Mango lassi. They also made a nice sangria espumante (I know it's not Indian). We enjoyed our meal and the price was also good.
Loved the food and the service. Take away three veggie curries, asked for extra spicy and got it as I wanted. Generous portions . Definitely going back!

PANEÒLIO Pizza Bar is a top-notch restaurant with absolutely delicious food and a great selection. The vegetarian pizza is said to be the best ever, with fresh herbs, spices, and vegetables that create fantastic flavors. The presentation of the dishes is beautiful and the service is professional. The ambiance with good jazz music in the background adds to the overall experience. This place offers a unique and unusual pizza and pasta experience, using 100% fresh ingredients sliced in real time before serving.
Great Italian restaurant in Caldas da Rainha. I had the pizza with prosciutto and mushrooms. Super tasty with fresh ingredients and a thin, crispy crust. Also tried the bruschetta, which was simple and delicious. The place has a nice atmosphere, friendly service, and fair prices. I’ll definitely go back

We had a wonderful gastronomic experience at Paneòlio. The food was delicious and beautifully prepared. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to any Italian food aficionado.
Amazing place. We arrived without a reservation on a busy evening. The staff did all the could to accommodate us. Pizzas were incredible, best ever the kids said.
Wow! Just a must! The chef is amazing (one of the best Pizzas I have eaten in my life). We enjoyed everything. Great service, thank you!
Got to be the best pizza that I have ever eaten. Presentationally fantastic and the taste didn't disappoint. Photos say it all!
Professionality and friendliness of the staff could be improved, especially the guy at the entrance. Tiramisu had too much whipped cream. Pizza was good, as a suggestion, some people prefer to cut their slices themselves. Also pizza gets colder quickly
We made a last-minute reservation and stumbled upon this hidden gem in a quiet, rather gloomy street. We started with the pizzas – truly the best we’ve ever had – and finished with a delicious brownie. Everything was perfect: the quality of the food, the warm welcome, and the attentive, friendly service. Highly recommended!
Top-level fine dining experience! ✨️
Always a pleasure to come back here, but this time chef Beniamin prepared for us a one-off custom tasting menu worthy of Michelin stars! 🤩👌
Each dish a surprise in colours and flavours, such an exquisite elegance without too much elaboration. Just the pure art of cooking combined with a deep knowledge of the ingredients... and passion!
I specially recommend the Octopus Salad with mulled wine sauce, gazpacho and fresh fruits & the Beef Carpaccio with salsa tonnata and fruit coulis... simply unforgettable!
Paneolio is truly a hidden gem in Caldas, and so much more than just an Italian restaurant. Definitely worth a detour for all foodies in search of a unique experience.
