To start our meal, we opted for the fantastic Samosas and a refreshing gazpacho. The Samosas were undoubtedly a highlight, delivering a burst of flavors and perfectly cooked fillings. The gazpacho, with its cool and tangy taste, was a delightful way to awaken the palate.

For the main course, we chose a beautiful and colourful salad, as well as an eggplant with ratatouille. Both dishes were executed impeccably, showcasing the freshness of the ingredients and the chef's skill. The salad was a medley of vibrant vegetables, tossed in a flavorful dressing, while the eggplant with ratatouille provided a delightful blend of textures and aromas. It was evident that great care had been taken in the preparation of these dishes.

In conclusion, O António in Moncarapacho offers a delightful dining experience with a diverse menu and well-executed dishes. The restaurant's charming interior and inviting terrace add to its appeal. With friendly and attentive service from the majority of the staff. O António is a recommended choice for those seeking a delicious meal in a picturesque village.
