The pick of the restaurants for miles around, this smart place is in a beautiful location, just over the bridge in Portagem, on the Rio Sever. It comes highly recommended by locals and serves first-class Alentejan cuisine. Specials include roast leg of lamb and wild rabbit with mushrooms. The grilled vegetables are great for vegetarians.
You can also stay the night in one of the modern comfortably furnished rooms (some with balcony) overlooking the river (single/double €45/70).
