Very decent traditional portuguese dishes at a very affordable cost. Be aware of the large portions, 'half dosis' is usually enough for one

Almost famous regional restaurant. Also decent Portuguese dishes at a good cost. We have met people in Lisbon who named it as an example of a true good "countryside restaurant".

Very typical restaurant . The food is prepared in a fireplace in the main space. The restaurant has become very popular, it's a good idea to make a reservation to get a table in the main space

Getting Around
Train station.
Bus is a much better option: more frequent and shorter travels with more convenient connections.
Beautiful sights here though, away from the highway

BUS
Two bus companies departing from here, similar good quality experience. Only their stops can be different. For example for Lisbon Rodoviaria do Oeste goes to Campo Grande Lisboa (and stops in Obidos and Bombarral but is not slower because Campo Grande is easier to reach) the other to Sete Rios (Rede Expressos). I prefer Campo Grande with Rodoviaria do Expresso because this is more central and convenient inside Lisbon.

One more thing: buy tickets inside the bus station EXCEPT when coming to Caldas from Campo Grande Lisbon!! Buy in bus. Lisbon +-€7
