Restaurante Dona Xica em Ovar

Super food and friendly staff. The restaurant is overlooking the sea if you sit outside. The menu is good (though the English translations of dishes leave a bit to be desired!). What is “nails on a plate (cow)”?!? The menu has 1/2 dishes and full dishes. The 1/2 dishes are for one person and the full dish is intended for 2 to share but this is not made clear and we nearly over ordered. The food is mainly fish and steak plus pasta cooked simply/ rustically but really tasty. The prawn and squid is a massive skewer of grilled prawn and squid - impressive and delicious. The pasta carbonara was a large portion and enjoyed by the children. The octopus was especially fantastic. The restaurant isn’t fancy and service was friendly but a little slow. However the food (tasty and generous) and kindness of the staff there was excellent. Strongly recommend and would definitely go again. Am still intrigued what “nails on a plate” is!!
