O Tarro
Restaurants and Cafés
It is a reference in Odemira and in the region both due to its history that dates back to 1969 and makes it the oldest food and beverage establishment in that area and due to its cuisine, firmly anchored in tradition with family recipes. It is in the centre of the town, near the river, where there are more people. The facilities are large and divided into three very pleasant rooms and a terrace: the main room is at the entrance, close to the other that is more a cafeteria and snack bar, the third being intended for events, business meetings and groups that require more privacy. The chairs are comfortable and the tables large with cotton tablecloths protected by paper covers. The décor is sober with a certain degree of elegance. Cheerful and relaxed atmosphere!
The cuisine is characterised by the quality of the ingredients, mostly due to the use of good regional produce, and the excellence of the cooking. With a long and well-balanced list O Tarro presents tempting proposals: starters include olives, sheep’s cheese and regional sausages, in addition to amêijoas à Bulhão Pato, that are part of the country’s heritage; soups include, Alentejo açorda and Alentejo dogfish soup with vinegar; the main dishes include coastal fish, normally grilled, monkfish cataplana, garnished hake or sole fillets, lamb stew and different types of beef steak with meats produced by them from the Limousine breed of cattle; and desserts are all homemade from family recipes (inherited from the owner’s mother, the founder of the restaurant), Alentejo pudding (with almond and black-seed squash) and honey pudding. 95% of the wines come from Alentejo. Professional service!
