Restaurant - Carvoaria Jacto

Loin

Fellow meat lovers, I am happy to announce that there is a place... a place that will change your life, it is called Carvoaria Jacto.

I went there yesterday with some friends and it was excellent...  everything, the quality of the food, the service, price, variety, its big and there is a smokers room! The only thing I could point out as not good is the location, but it is a small price to pay.

I tried the vazia(sirloin), lombo(loin) and posta mirandesa(rump from Miranda), although everything was very good, for me the vazia was the best and it was the cheapest of the three!
You can also eat fish but this place is definitely specialized in grilled meat, very similar to Grill 20(there is also a salad buffet with mayo souces, several meat types and sizes) but better and cheaper.
On the quality/price/quantity it is even better than Tachadas!

The house wine was good(can't remember the name) and they have a great wine collection, you can even get a Barca Velha... if you have 400 euros to spare :P

Sirloin
As you may know I don't usually eat dessert, but I tried some of my friends and I must say they were very good, specially the "Best chocolate cake in Ribatejo".

So, if you come to Lisbon, this place is mandatory, go there and thank me later, bon apetit!
