Gimonde is the birthplace of A. Montesinho and is located in Trás-os-Montes, a region in the northeast of Portugal with a welcoming people and where you can experience a scenario full of mountains, natural parks, historic villages and a unique gastronomic wealth.

As this is the land of flavour, the transmontana gastronomy is characterised by the most varied delicacies, which make its dishes a temptation for those who visit this cold land. There are several products that allow you to prepare a cozy meal, from the alheira (pork sausage), smoked ham, kid, veal, mirandesa steak, river fish, sprouts, beans, mushrooms, chestnuts, puff pastry, cheese and honey cakes.

You can experience first-hand the exceptional combination of these regional ingredients at Restaurante Típico D. Roberto. There is a full menu at your disposal, such as veal chop and ribs, veal steak with Bisaro ham, Bragançano lamb, secretos, ribs and Bisaro pork loin, all accompanied with the traditional Gimonde bread.

The month of February becomes ideal to venture into our specialty, Butelo with Casulas, a typical dish of the region!

In our game menu the main stars are the wild boar and the partridge. We have as options the wild boar stewed with chestnuts or roasted and the partridge stewed. In both we serve a characteristic rice.

Table of Bragança, in the 7 Wonders to the Table

Bragança is, among many qualities, synonymous with a well-preserved built heritage and a gastronomy that knows how to combine the elegance of modern cuisine with its own handmade forms, which perpetuate its authenticity and genuineness with rich and strong flavors.

We start by going towards the largest symbol of the city, the beautiful castle wall and next to the Domus Municipalis, the only example of the genus in the Iberian Peninsula, where we wait for a table with well cooked pasta, stuffed with certified meat from the region or a panoply of wild mushrooms, collected cautiously among pine and giestas, followed by one of our characteristic dishes, which can not be missed on the table of any Bragançano – a fine example of Butelo, which the cold frost of winter helped temper, accompanied by the Casulas cooked in iron pot, where the virgin olive oil velvety and softens the palate.

Fair of the Cantarinhas 2018 Bragança

In the food there was representation of the local sweets with “economic”, “supplicas” and “asleep”. Then there was presentation of sweets from other regions and even presentation of pastry that we call “own manufacture.” Some vegetables some for planting. For me I avenged myself to eat of the good bread and roasted chorizo, a piece of good “bísaro”, round and delicious peas, all of the best in the D. Roberto restaurant in Gimonde. It has Housing Tourism and an appetizing regional products store, with the best sausages that are made there.
