The place was charming in an old jail. We were the only ones there the entire time. Our waitress was accommodating and helpful. The goat cheese au gratin was excellent and the pineapple curry was great. read more

We we're traveling with a group tour which included dinner at this tiny establishment near the local pousada. The food and wine were perfect, which was truly remarkable for a group of 25 noisy tourists in such a tiny space. The mushroom ravioli and sea bass were delicious and served with a genuine warmth that is usually found only in the most loving of homes. If you are traveling near Coimbra/Estremoz don't miss this gem. read more

We were staying at the nearby Posada and decided to try this restaurant, set in a historic jail. Unfortunately the experience was not good. The lamb dish was full of fat and gristle, the waiter offered to let us taste wine before buying a bottle and then disappeared for the rest of the meal. The service was poor and, overall, the food was substandard. read more

This is one the best restaurants I have ever been to. Their fortes: great food, very friendly and polite waiters, the owner - Mr. João - gives special attention to the customers, local and traditional cuisine of Portugal's Alentejo region. Nice and tranquil atmosphere. Just one thing to keep in mind: don't go in a rush, expecting to get served and be out quickly. Give yourself and the people with you the chance of being there without pressure of time. Forget the calories and enjoy the desserts (my weakness :-) ). read more
