Restaurants and Cafés

In one of Mourão’s main squares there is a restaurant that has rapidly gained fame thanks to the quality of the delicacies prepared under the supervision of Salvador Acabado who has continued a business that had been in the hands of the family for decades. The facilities are an example of simplicity and good taste, starting with the entrance hall with vaulted ceilings and high headroom. The service counter is topped by ancient azulejos of the establishment in blue and white, azulejos which are no longer made, and the space decorated by a beautiful Arraiolos rug. In the second room an old recuperated fireplace stands out that heats the cooler nights and days, and there are a number of paintings and artefacts alluding to traditional regional farming.  

The cuisine is of homemade flavours with top-quality produce and there is a set menu at ten euros that allows the clients to choose, in addition to the couvert and soup, the dish of the day that varies according to the season of the year. For fish, there is garlic açorda with bacalhau and egg, house-style bacalhau ad boiled bacalhau with chickpeas; for meat, there is a variety of Alentejo dishes, such as Alentejo pork plumas with chips, carne de porco à alentejana and Alentejo migas with carne do alguidar.  

Desserts are also included in the set menu with both conventual and regional desserts: encharcada de Mourão, egg pudding, manjar real and poached meringue and custard, among others, also excellent are chocolate mousse, serradura and condensed milk pudding. A selection of Alentejo wines! Service attentive and efficient!
