Restaurante Pedro dos Leitoes

Pedro dos Leitões is a must-visit!This iconic restaurant is the first in the world to serve Bairrada-style roasted pig—and it sets the standard. Every time I travel north in Portugal, I make a point to stop here, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. The food is absolutely extraordinary. If you think you’ve tried roasted pig before, think again—nothing compares to the flavor, tenderness, and uniqueness of what they serve here. It’s an unforgettable culinary experience. A true must-try!

Delicious food, good service and great wine awaits you at this restaurant. I do recommend a stop if you are in this area of Portugal, and are looking for a suckling pig.

I've heard from many friends about this roast suckling pig restaurant. It is said that you have to make an appointment a long time in advance, but it's not so exaggerated. I made an appointment for 12 o'clock the next day one day in advance. I arrived a few minutes in advance. The restaurant was not officially open yet. I could not enter the restaurant until 12 o'clock. There was no reservation mark on each table. After entering, I found a table and sat down, and then started ordering. There were many empty seats. Until we finished our meal and left, the seats were never full. The tables were placed neatly and uniformly, a little crowded, and I was impressed by the cleanliness, simplicity and brightness. The service was very thoughtful, and the response speed of ordering and serving was also very fast. But there was a problem in the end. I ordered dessert and coffee after the meal. After the dessert, the coffee was not served. I had to ask the waiter to urge it before it was delivered. Finally, let's talk about the dishes. The roast suckling pig skin is very crispy, and the pork is juicy and tender, but the pepper sauce is too salty, which reduces a lot of points. The fried potato chips are crispy, and the vegetable salad is average.

Spetacular place and food !!! The little Pork was fantastic !!! I eat the tradicional pork of the house with a good wine from that region called “bairrada”

Excellent experience surrounded by locals. This Sunday experience was one for the memories. The staff was amazing and the service was top notch. We had the suckling pig and it was to die for. Would recommend this restaurant.
