Pedestre 142

About

Pedestre 142 is a celebrated steakhouse and family‑run restaurant tucked in the charming town of Arouca, Portugal. Drawing on the Araújo family’s 30 years of culinary heritage, the menu highlights regional specialties such as the signature Arrouca steak, tender roasted lamb, and supple goat meat, all sourced from local farms and prepared with traditional techniques. For those seeking lighter options, the kitchen also offers creatively crafted vegetarian dishes, including mushroom pâtés and a fresh green tomato pasta. Guests can enjoy the warm, inviting atmosphere in the main dining room or relax on the outdoor terrace, both of which showcase a relaxed, family‑friendly setting. The attentive staff are known for their friendly service, often sharing local recommendations and pairing suggestions with the restaurant’s carefully curated wine list. Open Wednesday to Monday from 12:00–15:00 and again from 19:00–21:00 (closed on Tuesdays), Pedestre 142 invites diners to experience authentic Portuguese flavors in a relaxed, welcoming environment.
