Talasnal restaurant Ti Lena
The Ti Lena restaurant, in low season, is only open on holidays and weekends, and at any time of the year, we advise you to book in advance, taking into account that Ti Lena is very popular throughout the year. It is a comfortable, welcoming but small space, typically symptomatic of the ambience of the schist villages.
One of the main advantages of Ti Lena is that, at the time of booking, it is possible to make the choice of meal immediately. The servings are generous and can be accompanied by the wines of Casa Ermelinda Freitas, usually recommended.
The starters are usually: rye bread, homemade dark bread, well-seasoned olives and cheese from the region. On the menu, you can choose between cod with bread and kid chanfana served on a clay platter with roasted potatoes, chestnuts, rice and savoy cabbage acidified with vinegar and minced with pepper.
As desserts, the rice pudding, the camel drool, the red fruit mousse with meringue, the blueberry ice cream with meringue and the lime ice cream are all excellent options.
It is possible to access Ti Lena by parking on the road that leads to the village of Talasnal or through the entrance to the village, whose accommodation you can book here.

Although, in general, all the dishes are well prepared, such as, for example, the chanfana, the traditional snacks (alheira croquettes with mustard and honey, roasted alheira, mushrooms à tavern), the hamburgers and the craft beer are the ones that have more output.
Homemade ice cream is the best option for dessert.
