Restaurants and Cafés

The restaurant is installed in the former dungeons of Alvito Castle. It is an admirable area: bright and cheerful during the day; intimate and romantic at night due to the lights on the patio. It is conservatively decorated with a painting or chandelier exactly where they are needed. This is probably the best way to see the originality of the building and the uniqueness of its beauty. Set to perfection and conveniently set apart from each other in order to guarantee the desired privacy and comfort, the tables summon us to an intimate dinner for two or to a dinner for a group of friends or relatives in the certainty that the food is also of great quality. 

The cuisine is based on Portuguese tradition, especially the Alentejo region, with the use of good traditional produce during the right season. Subsequently, the menu changes according to the season the products are in, as occurs with game that prevails for about two or three months a year, or soups, each one of which has its time, such as Alentejo tomato soup, Alentejo açorda or Alentejo gaspacho. But there are dishes that resist the changes on the menu, such as dogfish soup with Alentejo bread, bacalhau prepared in the style of Marquês do Alvito with sweet potatoes, or stew made from Lamb from the Northeast Alentejo PGI. The desserts also include some local delicacies that are never off the menu - queijinhos de hóstia and Alvito chocolate cake – and Portuguese conventual desserts, among which are sericaia with Elvas Plums PDO, encharcada and sopa dourada. The buffet of sweets and cheeses allows clients to freely choose whatever they want. A careful selection of wines, mostly from Alentejo!
