Mountain cooking at midday and signature cooking in the evening, with wines from the regions around the Estrela, in the Penhas Douradas hotel.

A geologist's name
A nubbin is, in geology, one of those residual granite boulders that wind, rain and snow gradually uncover in the mountains and to which shepherds gave names. The restaurant at the Casa das Penhas Douradas takes the name for its cooking: made from the traditions of the Serra da Estrela and reinterpreted by its cooks.
What you eat
At midday, cooking close to the mountain gastronomy; in the evening, signature cooking. They work with local ingredients and a wine list from the regions around the Estrela. There are gluten-free and vegetarian dishes and light meals. In winter, the fire is lit.
Hours and booking
Lunch from 13:00 to 15:00 and dinner from 19:30 to 22:00. It is in a hotel in the middle of the mountains, with no other restaurants around: book by email or phone, especially for dinner.

Qué pedir: at midday, the mountain cooking; in the evening, the signature menu beside the fireplace.
