Compostu Tavern

Delicious francesinha, definitely one you should try when in Coimbra, with a rich and lightly spicy sauce and tasty pork filling. Fair price, good and friendly service with a cool environment. They only open at night and accept portuguese credit cards.

What a really good experience. The francesinha was very tasty and the cheesecake very good.

The server doesn't speak English although he claimed to speak English. We were a group of four, decided to share two entrees, ordered a wine, I asked for a sangria and they brought one liter without confirming with us. Only one person was going to drink the sangria and they brought one liter, when we clarified it was one glass, the one liter was taken away and he poured a glass in return. When we paid the bill, the server informed us that he would charge the one liter which I felt was unfair because he could have refilled my glass if I was being charged. They knew we were tourists and I felt like I was being ripped off. The food is average nothing outstanding, you can find this anywhere in Coimbra, perhaps even better. They do not accept international credit card and we were forced to pay cash.

A cozy space with great steaks and francesinhas of various varieties. Good value for money and the service was impeccable.

I recommend the francesinhas. The difference is that the puff pastry is very good. In general, they are all very good and the sauce is excellent.
