Fantastic family run restaurant. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff and super quick service. The best steak I've eaten in a very long time.

As a large group of Americans traveling abroad, with only one and a half Portuguese speakers, it can sometimes be awkward trying to eat at restaurants. The servers were very accommodating and nice here. It really made us feel welcome.The food blew us away. We went in expecting something like a tourist gift shop cafe but it was anything but.The food was incredible. Delicious and perfectly prepared and priced very attractively.I really can't recommend this place enough. If I had more time in the area I would make it a priority to come back.

Listen carefully - O Lagarto serves the best food in a 100km radius. The service is very professional, the atmosphere is good and the food makes you cry for more.

Delicious traditional Portugese food. Very good service and friendly and fast staff. Even when you with a group of 13 people. Everything is ready at the same time. Price is little bit higher then other places but that’s why you get quality food! Awesome desserts as well. Big portions and you can take the rest home if not finished. Beautiful surroundings in the beautiful village Castelo Novo. You must see the buildings and ruïne. Awesome painting on the wall inside that makes the atmosfeer.

The one star reviews here are uncalled for. This place is very busy because it’s the only restaurant in town and it’s very good. There’s lots of seating and everything is very nice and clean. There’s even a few staff members that speak some English and Spanish. This is a great spot for a good meal
