What a delight to find this gem of a restaurant! The lovely waiter (Lebanese cutie whose name we didn't get) was excellent and quite helpful. He answered our questions and led us to choose fantastic dishes. We decided to share two appetizers and two mains. We selected the corvino and the tempura veggies, both excellent. Our entrees were the incredibly flavorful lentils with eggplant and the risotto. Both were melt-in-your-mouth delicious! Although we were more than completely stuffed we were talked into taking a slice of the vegan ginger cake with us. So glad we did - the coconut frosting was the perfect amount of sweet and the cake the right amount of moist. As we were leaving our lovely waiter gave us each a taste of moroño, the distilled local berry. It's something like 40% alcohol and will our hair on your chest! Definitely firewater! Apparently the locals drink it with breakfast! We will be back to Elska should we return to this region of Portugal!

The restaurant is indeed both a restaurant and a cafetaria and also has a wide range of wines. Two of us had the entrecote which was delicious and tender, one had the cod, which was tasty and fresh and a bit oily (i guess this is the Portuguese way of eating it) and one had a salad with chicken. As a dessert we all had the fig/chocolate cake. A really heavy cake/desert but i've never tasted anything like this before and was curious about the famous Portuguese cakes/tarts ;) The waiter was very awkward and not very friendly, he seemed very young.

They are quick to get your order if you eat outside or are getting pastries to go inside. The space is nice and the outdoor seating area is the better option. I would recommend one of the regional pastries such as fruta de Algarve, which are similar to soft marzipan with a thick egg yolk and sugar mixture in the middle. It's not like marzipan in the States and a lot softer and has a better texture and flavor. The other would be the Dom Rodrigo, which comes in a little colorful foil packet. It's an egg yolk and sugar mixture that is in thin strings layered on top of each other and swimming in a simple syrup. It might be too sweet for some.
