Hamburgueria Beira

Hamburgueria Beira

4.5/574 Reviews
Open 12:00-14:30
TheForkUser:“The food and service were lovely! The reason the ambiance was rated so low is because despite having a heater in the restaurant, it was not on and it was so cold we could not take off our coats, and this is the first restaurant bathroom I've been in that did not have a toilet seat.. confirmed with my partner not in the men's or women's room, and the hard wooden seating really needs some padding. It's not hard or expensive to go to a china shop or such to get some seat cushions. Nosso, also in Covilhã has done this to make their customers more comfortable and it's appreciated!”
