Restaurants and Cafés

Part of the Hotel dos Lilases that opened in 2007 in a beautifully restored manor house but maintaining its style and developing its beauty and charm, the restaurant is a very inviting space as on the terrace you have a view of the old part of the town of Mora, the river and the montado. It has large tables lined up in single file beside the large windows with elegant curtains, good cotton tablecloths, prestigious crockery (Costa Nova) and a serene, homely and romantic atmosphere.  

The cuisine is from the Alentejo region and is based on regional produce all beautifully cooked. The menu is well structured, presenting excellent suggestions in all categories, examples of which are, for starters and soups, for example: scrambled eggs or with Farinheira de Estremoz and Borba PGI, Évora Cheese PDO, wild pigeon broth and purslane soup with sheep’s cheese; for the main dishes: dogfish soup, bacalhau açorda with egg, charcoal grilled octopus, that even though not typical from Alentejo it is appreciated over the whole country, pork cheeks with bean rice, asparagus migas with carne de alguidar and migas do Abade, that are corn bread migas and vegetables and deep-fried sardines. For those who love game can, during the season, enjoy pickled pheasant and partridge, hare and beans, Solar-style wild boar that is stewed with vegetables, as well as other delicacies. Homemade desserts include sericaia on its own or with the ever-present Elvas Plums PDO. A selection of mostly Alentejo wines with local wines on display. Service attentive and very friendly!
