We passed through Vila Nova de Milfontes during our "Rota Vicentina" hiking trip and our hotel…read moreowner strongly suggested we visit this place. It was a good choice and I could clearly see it is popular with locals and visitors alike, and that the food is really solid. The interior is awesome and includes a fireplace with sofas! Our appetizers were delicious: a simple salad, pimientos de padron, and local sheep's milk cheese. I didn't love my main - it was roast lamb and potatoes, but what part of lamb it was wasn't explained to me very well. It seemed like throwaway cuts of ribs and vertebrae. It was very nicely seasoned and roasted, but it wasn't choice cuts, there was much more bone than meat, and I felt it wasn't worth the premium price they put on it. My girlfriend's food (Portuguese style steak) was excellent - so good that I packed it up for lunch on the trail tomorrow!!! The real star here was the service, which started a bit slow but was attentive and careful about my gluten issue! One thing I appreciated was that when we asked for a wine suggestion, we didn't get sold the most pricey bottles of wine on the menu. Rather, our waitress suggested one of the more inexpensive items on the list and it was really really solid! And as a post-meal snack we got a small sack of walnuts and a nutcracker! Bottom line, I didn't love my main dish, but I saw how good everyone else's was. Overall our meal of 3 appetizers, 2 mains, and wine cost about €85, which is expensive compared to every meal I've eaten thus far in Portugal outside of Lisbon. That's cheap compared to back home in DC of course! Get ready to open your wallet but if you are used to expensive meals, this will be well worth it!

The ambiance was good and service was fine. The food was so underwhelming. I ordered the roe salad,…read morewhich I normally love, but this time it was so full of vinegar I couldn't appreciate it. But I finished eating it thinking: ok maybe the next item will be fine. My husband ordered some whole squids fried and they were ok. For the mains I ordered a kind of bread porridge because I had something like it at another restaurant and loved it. The waitress seemed to warn me against ordering it : "This is very..plain. like a porridge. Very...typical portugese. You still want it?" It was unfortunate that it was just like she said. The porridge had an uninspired texture and the shrimp was overcooked. My husband's meal was a fresh fish and veges and potatoes. The ingrediants are fantastic but I couldn't get over how lackluster everything i had eaten so far was. What do I say? It wasn't awful. I ate the food but i found myself thinking i would have been more satisfied if we made food at home. It was just fine. But for the price?? It hurts my heart. This was just boring.

We stopped in Sines en route to Lisbon from the Algarve and had a lovely late lunch here. The…read moreatmosphere is nice, set in a renovated train station (hence the name, of course). They have a wide variety of seafood, all of which looked delicious, but we went for their special razor clam rice with fried squid, which was delicious (and huge! The half portion was honestly enough for two) We also got the veal stuffed with ham, raisins, and chestnuts in a cream sauce which was unique and tasty. Prices were an excellent value for the quality of the food, and they also have a menu of the day (lunch special) which is an even better deal for around 12e, which had either a fish or meat option when we were there (you have to ask about it, it's on the menu outside but not listed on the inside menu). One downside was that it was pretty hot in there mid-afternoon. We got there right at the end of lunch service so maybe they had shut off the AC? In any case, worth a stop especially if driving north to Lisbon (they have plenty of free parking too!)-would definitely return and maybe explore Sines a bit more as well (castle was cool and beach looked beautiful from afar!)
