Restaurants and Cafés

Part of the Hotel Rural Vila Galé Clube de Campo and Enoturismo da Casa de Santa Vitória that extends along 1620 hectares, including vast vineyards and orange groves, 25 kilometres from Beja, the restaurant Pavilhão de Caça has a rustic environment and discrete sophistication. The large room with a terracotta tiled floor, columns and ceiling lined with wood, chairs and tables also of wood, white tablecloths, fireplace, wine rack, counter and large windows with curtains that moderate the excess light, blends rusticity with comfort and elegance appropriate for the place where it is situated and the purpose it serves. The cuisine is traditional Portuguese but where the flavours of Alentejo prevail. 

If the space is pleasing to the eye, the food is fully pleasing to the palate. There is a buffet system with a great variety of choices of mostly Alentejo dishes, whenever the number of people justifies it, but always has the à la carte service too. It is very interesting to note that the menu includes a wine suggestion for every dish. The most popular delicacies include starters, such as, crunchy caramelised farinheira with orange and green asparagus with scrambled eggs; the main dishes consist of charcoal-grilled octopus, roast pork cheeks and stewed wild boar, both dishes prepared with Santa Vitória red wine; and desserts include soft cheese with homemade pumpkin jam and sericaia with Elvas Plums PDO. All the wines are from Casa Santa Vitória, except for the champagne and sparkling wine (there are two daily guided tours to the wine cellar that is 150 metres from the restaurant). Service attentive and friendly!
