This was supposed to be an article praising Taberna Benito, one of my favourite restaurants in Chaves, but since the service was so atypical (I'm being nice), I'll just say that the barrosã beef steak with potatoes and vegetables is still my favourite in the region.
(We gave up on the desserts after waiting too long for the menu and learning that the four different ones we'd chosen weren't available.)
