Restaurante Provas Menu

At Restaurante Provas, the menu reads like a broad snapshot of traditional Portuguese comfort food with a few house specialties that stand out for their simplicity and heartiness. The Menu Diário offers a straightforward choice between Francesinha com batata + bebida pequena (copo ou lata) and Bife de Vitela Grelhado com batata frita e salada mista + bebida pequena (copo ou lata), clearly designed for a satisfying, no-frills lunch. The selection of Entradas, including Tábua Mista, Pratinho de Presunto, Pratinho de Salpicão, Pratinho de Queijo, and Tábua 3 Queijos, suggests a classic sharing approach to start the meal. In the Especialidades da Casa, dishes such as Hambúrguer em Massa Folhada, Paelha de Bacalhau (2 pessoas), Lascada de Bacalhau (2 pessoas), and Lulas Grelhada com Gambas highlight a mix of seafood and creative twists on familiar ingredients. The Carnes Grelhadas section keeps things traditional with Naco de Vitela, Posta de Vitela (2 pessoas), Costelinhas de Cordeiro, Alheira Tipica Grelhada, and Bife de Vitela Grelhado, reinforcing the focus on grilled, rustic flavours. Unsurprisingly, the Francesinhas category is extensive, featuring Francesinha, Francesinha com batata frita, Francesinha Especial, Francesinha Mista, and Francesinha Vegetariana, making it a clear house highlight. Seafood lovers are equally catered for under Peixes, with Bacalhau Grelhado, Bacalhau à Braga, Polvo à Lagareiro, Robalo Grelhado, and Dourada Grelhada. Simpler options appear in the Menu Infantil, including Bife de Vitela Grelhado, Salsichas, and Cachorro da Casa, while lighter choices like Salada, Salada de Tomate, Salada Mista, and Salada Caprese round out the offering. Finally, Acompanhamentos such as Batata Frita, 1/2 Batata Frita, Batata a Murro, Arroz, and Legumes Salteados complete a menu that feels varied yet firmly rooted in traditional, generous Portuguese dining.
