“ After being to this restaurant, I wouldn't want to leave Pinhal Novo! Not only for the food but also for the kindness and smile of the people who work there! I wish them all the best and I will surely return to the Restaurante O Central again! ”

“ Spectacular! The service was great, the restaurant was clean and the food was simply amazing!! The Barrosã meat was cooked to perfection with mashed potatoes. The grilled plumas (pork) was tender and juicy. Save room for dessert, the Molotof was the best I've tasted and the House dessert was not far behind. Go there, you won't be disappointed. ”

“ We choose the restaurant just like that but what a happy experiênce. A very friendly and attentive smiling lady was attending and serving. The menu had many obtions, not the portuguêse only as always, more choise. We opted for white veal cutlets and curry, both were very good. Fish I saw at other tables, looked delicious as well, not too dry for instance. We don't come often to Pinhal Novo but certainly will visit Central again. The bill inclusive wine, coffee, Maceiera, desserts was just over 70€ for 3 persons ”
