Oásis
Restaurants and Cafés
The location is excellent, on the southern bank of the river Mira, close to the mouth of the river, on the dunes of the beach known as Praia das Furnas, in front of Vila Nova de Milfontes, and this alone justifies the name of the restaurant: Oásis. But there are other reasons for its name, such as the comfort of the premises, in an elegant wooden building with a large room and terrace, and the rich cuisine from the Alentejo coast, that brings the best of both land and sea: typical dishes form the hinterland and fish and seafood from the coast. The atmosphere is very pleasant with the room beaming with natural light, comfort and charm. It is easy to get to, by leaving Vila Nova towards the south and taking the first road on the right until praia das Furnas. Both the beauty and the serenity of the spot are surprising.
The menu is varied as can be seen immediately in the list of starters, such as octopus and fish roe salads, Évora Cheese PDO, amêijoas velvet crab the town, and is froomferentike a creme ed on bread, the waui+iter and ask him to take it awayred the soup ne side aà Bulhão Pato, velvet crab and crab.

There is a great variety of desserts, mostly homemade, such as chocolate mousse, egg pudding and sericaia. A good selection of mostly Alentejo wines with a few wines, especially white, from other regions!
