A Talha - Joao Padrela Dos Santos Monteiro Menu
R. Comendador Pereira da Silva 6, Chaves, PortugalRestaurant
Cavalo Cansado in Chaves delivers a menu that feels both familiar and inventive, making every visit a little adventure for your taste buds. From the moment you glance at “O Nosso Conceito,” featuring Naco na Pedra and the daring Menu Degustação BASTARDO, you realize this place isn’t shy about bold flavors. Their Caldo Verde is comforting, perfectly balancing tradition with a fresh, rich broth. Tapas here are divided smartly: warm options like Pica-Pau, Moelas, Linguiça Alheira, and Batatas à Cavalo hit all the right savory notes, while cold selections such as Charcutaria e Queijos, Presunto, or their combinations offer a lighter, shareable contrast.
For something more substantial, the Grupo dos Nove combinados are a winner. Options like Prego no Prato, Bifana no Prato, Alheira, or Moelas make it easy to sample classic Portuguese dishes without overwhelming your appetite. Sandwich lovers won’t be disappointed either-No Pão choices such as Tosta de Presunto e Queijos, Prego, or the indulgent Prego de Queijo da Serra keep things casual but flavorful. The bruschettas, from Mozzarella e Tomate to Salmão, offer a delicate, fresh bite, while their salads-Burrata, Queijo de Cabra e Mel, or Presunto with Melon-add a refreshing twist to the menu.
Even the little ones get a nod with Cavalinhos options like Preguinho or Salsicha, and extras such as Batata Frita, Chips, or Pickles let you customize your meal. To finish, the desserts, including Último Toque and Petit Gateau, are sweet, satisfying, and a perfect end to a hearty meal. Overall, Cavalo Cansado balances traditional Portuguese comfort with playful innovation, ensuring every dish feels thoughtfully prepared and delightfully approachable.
