A mercearia, wine bar, and a restaurant in one, celebrating the best of Alentejo. Shelves stacked with charcuterie, cheese, olive oil and wines from Estremoz - to drink in or take home. You pop in and leave hours later.

Contemporary, chef-driven cooking rooted in the Alentejo, leaning on local producers and organic ingredients. A serious wine list and aged meats round out a menu that feels both modern and deeply regional.

Honest, homestyle Portuguese cooking in a warm, unpretentious setting. A shaded terrace, air-conditioned dining room, and a cold beer: the kind of place that's hard to leave.

A grandmother's-kitchen kind of place, with the atmosphere as authentic as the food. Cação soup, migas with meat, sericaia to finish — Alentejo classics done with genuine heart.

A temple of Alentejano cooking, open since 1945 on one promise: consistency. Black pork, roasted lamb, and a fish soup regulars swear by, served by a team who've been here for decades.

Set within the vineyards of one of Alentejo's most iconic estates — seasonal, product-led, and quietly exceptional. Opt for the Chef's tasting menu and let the landscape do the rest.

In the heart of Portalegre, chef José Júlio Vintém brings tradition and invention to the same table. Bacalhau is the house religion, treated with real technique. Worth lingering over.

A small, characterful taberna serving traditional Alentejano food since 1998. Good food, a warm room, and a place that feels like it belongs exactly where it is.

Same text as the previous image:Rustic and no-frills: a spot near the castle where meat takes centre stage. The bull steak skewer is the main event — but on Thursdays, don't miss the cozido à portuguesa.

A 25-year-old restaurant in Alter do Chão, now under chef Filipe Ramalho, who's kept the name and raised the stakes. Local producers, seasonal ingredients, and a courtyard that earns its keep in summer.

Open since 1967, this roadside landmark near Marvão is built on decades of quiet dedication. Regional cooking, generous and unpretentious — a near-obligatory stop in Alto Alentejo.

A soulful spot on the Alentejo coast where regional and littoral cooking meets a genuinely considered wine list. Warm, spontaneous, and completely its own thing.

Born from one chef's desire to cook Alentejo food on his own terms, it has quietly become a local favourite. Traditional dishes, regional wines, and a room that wraps you in warmth. The kind of place you return to without needing a reason.

A vineyard estate retreat where chef Joachim Koerper turns homegrown produce into refined Alentejano cooking. Worth the drive.

Nine seats at an L-shaped counter, one couple running the whole show, and some of the best petiscos in Évora.

Simple, honest Portuguese cooking made for sharing — and not much more needs to be said.
