About Le Babachris
A lunch or dinner at Le Babachris feels nothing like eating out in a typical Guimarães restaurant — it feels like sitting down in someone's home, except the cooking is at a level most restaurants in the region cannot match. Christian and Bárbara run the room with their son, and the three of them make the whole thing work: the food is precise and technically serious, the attention is close without being formal. The paella draws the most attention, and rightly so — the oxtail and mushroom version alone is worth the trip, and the squid-ink variation has people ordering both in the same sitting. The croquette and the tarte tatin are the constants that never leave the menu, and the sourdough bread with smoked Azorean butter arrives early and disappears fast. Ask for Rafael's advice on what to drink, and follow it. Book ahead.
