Set within the historic mountain city of Covilhã, where narrow streets climb toward the slopes of the majestic Serra da Estrela, Casa das Muralhas offers a table framed by history and sweeping valley views.
Once part of the old defensive walls of the city, the property now welcomes visitors with a quiet elegance that reflects Covilhã’s layered past — a place shaped by medieval origins, the wool industry, and its enduring connection to the mountains.
About
Casa das Muralhas combines heritage architecture with contemporary comfort, creating a setting that feels both refined and deeply rooted in place. The restaurant highlights regional Portuguese flavours with a menu inspired by the ingredients and culinary traditions of the Serra da Estrela region.
Why We Chose This Table
We chose Casa das Muralhas because it reflects the unique character of Covilhã — a city where history, landscape and gastronomy meet. Dining here allows visitors to experience the flavours of the Serra da Estrela while overlooking the valleys that have shaped the region’s culture and livelihoods for centuries.
Begin with regional starters such as Serra da Estrela cheese served with warm bread and local olive oil. Continue with a dish inspired by mountain cuisine — perhaps lamb, regional pork or seasonal vegetables — paired with a Portuguese wine from nearby vineyards. End the meal with a traditional dessert while enjoying the panoramic views across the valley.
