Review

Official

This stunning pousada is set in a former fortress and palace dating back to the 15th century. The property has been classified as a national monument since 1910 and was carefully restored and reopened as a hotel in 1993. The terrace gardens are complete with peacocks that stroll amidst the lush, green foliage as well as a pool with views towards the castle cloisters. Each comfortable guest room features a lavish, antique look with canopy beds, tapestries and Moorish and Gothic accents. Rooms also feature modern comforts such as air-conditioning, minibar and cable television, all seamlessly blended with the traditional décor of the room. The stunning in-house restaurant serves authentic regional dishes such as Alentejo sausage in what was once the castle's dungeon, and the hotel also offers medieval-themed dinners and bicycle and bird watching tours, all for a delightful escape to the Alentejo countryside.

Herdade do Esporão

Thanks to top-quality local ingredients, well-defined textures and harmonious flavours, everything is so delicious here that you’ll want to try every dish!This restaurant, situated on a large farm-wine estate surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, and even a reservoir, boasts a modern look with hints of Scandinavian design. It is also self-sufficient in vegetables, as it has its own market garden that provides all of its organic ingredients. The constant focus on sustainability results in modern cooking that is based around seasonal ingredients both from the farm estate and the Alentejo. There

Haute cuisine in the heart of the Alentejo? This restaurant is located in the Paço do Morgado de Oliveira, a 14th-century building restored in full respect of its original structure and, in turn, set within the Fitapreta winery, surrounded by vineyards and meadows where cattle graze. Here, in an intimate yet sophisticated setting, the connection between the culinary world and that of viticulture is constant. Upon arrival, you are guided on an immersive journey while the story of the house is told, with aperitifs and stops both on the terrace and in the kitchen, a space that preserves the charm

It offers great comfort and surprises by virtue of its location in the heart of the Alentejo countryside, in the splendid, modern hotel L’AND Vineyards Relais & Châteaux. The dining experience features creative cuisine with traditional foundations, drawing inspiration from the chef's personal experiences and memories. The menu, mostly enjoyed by the hotel’s guests, is presented in an à la carte format and through two tasting menus: Expedição ("Expedition") in 8 moments and Caminhos (“Paths”) served in 12 moments, both inspired by Portuguese travels and the flavours of its former colonies.

It is in the tranquil streets and historic setting of Montemor‑o‑Novo that you find PODA. This restaurant occupies a former agricultural warehouse, fully restored, and presents an elegant ambience that preserves the rustic details of its past life. Chef João Narigueta and sommelier Miguel Dominguinhos, long‑time friends, joined forces in this project to create a space where traditional Alentejo cuisine is revived and presented with decidedly pronounced flavours. The offering includes a tasting menu (5 courses) and a concise à la carte menu, which offers, among the options, the soup of the day

Hidden in a narrow lane in Évora’s historic centre, this discreet bistro holds a compelling experience. It is a family‑run, welcoming space with an Alentejo soul, where the couple Gonçalo Queiroz (chef) and Eugénia Queiroz (front‑of‑house and sommelier) invite diners on a visit to the Origens do Alentejo (Origins of the Alentejo), offering traditional flavours through contemporary presentations and modern techniques. The menu, updated regularly according to the seasonality of regional products, offers à la carte options and two tasting menus (3 and 5 courses). A dish that enchanted us? The ten

At Évora’s northern exit, in an attractive rehabilitated building that once housed a roof-tile factory, this is one of those restaurants that, at first glance alone, invites you to step through its doors. The proposal, under the guidance of the award-winning chef Miguel Rocha Vieira, clearly revolves around Alentejo cuisine, reinterpreting it from a contemporary perspective based on the latest techniques. On the menu, complemented by an executive menu (weekdays), you will find dishes such as Bacalhau com grão (salt-cod with chickpeas), chouriço and estufadinho de línguas e samos (slow-stewed t

Its location, far from all the city’s bustle, is extremely pleasant, and the calm becomes perceptible as you approach. The restaurant sits within Herdade da Malhadinha Nova, an agricultural estate surrounded by vineyards and nature and, at times… a Blue peafowl wandering the meadows. It is also a perfect refuge for wine lovers. The menu bears the signature of the German chef Joachim Koerper, who makes use of ingredients produced on the estate to present Alentejo cuisine allied to contemporary techniques. Our recommendation?
