5 R. Dona Maria Elsa Franco Sotto MayorGood food, reasonably priced.
Well worth the lunch (the prato de dia is €10 for 3 courses + drinks) after a tour of the ruins. Lovely, welcoming staff, good Portuguese inspired food, with a twist. Does have vegetarian options.

Biblioteca Joanina
Stunning Baroque library, with its own colony of bats.

Sightseeing
The Complex Monumental de Santiago da Guarda is a fine example of the use of architecture through the ages. It looks like a good example of Manueline architecture, but in fact hides exquisite Roman mosaics from the IV & V centuries & a Baroque chapel.
