This is one of those restaurants that takes us back to childhood—and no wonder, for there are many stories to tell here! The restaurant has been renovated, but the flavor and care taken in preparation remain the same. It presents a truly welcoming atmosphere, with exposed stone walls, light-toned décor and a thoroughly traditional cooking style that stands firm against current gastronomic trends. Our recommendation? To begin, order the magnificent Rissóis de Camarão (prawn rissoles) and Croquetes de Vitela (veal croquettes), and to finish, the Bolo de noz com ovos-moles (walnut cake with ovos
TripAdvisor review sample · 3.5/5 · 80 reviews
Tia Alice in Ourem offers Portuguese cuisine with mixed reception. Food quality is polarized; dishes like duck rice and cod receive praise, while others are deemed mediocre or poor. Service is generally friendly, but reservations are difficult to secure via phone, and seating arrangements have caused dissatisfaction. The ambiance is described as clean, beautiful, and featuring a small garden. Value is a significant concern, with many reviewers citing high prices relative to portion sizes and quality, noting that the wine list lacks distinction. While the atmosphere is pleasant, the overall experience varies greatly depending on specific orders and service interactions.
Suitable for travelers prioritizing ambiance over consistent service and value.
