restaurants
In the Schist Village of Figueira, in the municipality of Proença-a-Nova, the local cuisine is a living expression of the region’s identity. At Casa Ti’Augusta, tradition and hospitality come together at the table, in an experience that celebrates the authentic flavours of Beira Baixa.
Housed in an old house in the Schist Village of Figueira, the restaurant keeps alive the memory of Ti Augusta and the spirit of a cuisine that spans generations. Here, every meal is prepared with care, respect for local produce, and recipes that are part of the local history.
The menu is a true tribute to regional cuisine, with a focus on some of the house specialities:
- Afogado da boda, a traditional dish served at local celebrations
- Wood-fired oven-roasted kid, cooked slowly
- Cabrito estonado, an old-fashioned recipe with crispy skin and succulent meat
- Goat meat in puff pastry, a surprising take on this ingredient
- Maranho and plangaio, two classics of Beira Baixa cuisine
The table is never without wood-fired bread or the flavours that define mountain cuisine. To finish, homemade desserts, such as the traditional tigelada, prolong the experience.
Over the years, the restaurant has won over visitors and gained recognition, having been awarded the Consumer’s Choice – Best Restaurant in the district of Castelo Branco.
More than just a restaurant, Casa Ti’Augusta is an invitation to discover the culture and flavours of Beira Baixa, in a welcoming atmosphere that makes the village of Figueira a gastronomic destination not to be missed.
