Restaurants and Cafés

It is in a quiet street with parking places at the door in front of the municipal market, in an industrial area of the town of Redondo. It is discrete but has a few surprises up its sleeve for its guests: an inviting bar, an elegant room with white walls, ceiling and tablecloths, padded chairs, large tables, some paintings, windows looking on to the street on one side and to a patio/terraced on the other, filling it with natural light. At the back of the room there is a recess with a glass sliding door that can give it a certain amount of privacy. More intimate than one imagines when arriving, the restaurant is very cosy and relaxed, just the way the Pinto family that looks after everything likes: Manuel in the reception, Rosa in the kitchen and Elsa, their daughter, in the dining room. 

The cuisine covers typical Alentejo and a number of traditional dishes common to other regions of the country. It starts off with good starters that, in addition to the regional cheeses, include Alentejo pork chorizo sausages and the cured ham known as presunto de bolota, roast peppers, sautéed mushrooms, marinated mackerel and bacalhau cakes. Then there are four or five dishes of the day, already prepared and ready to serve, in smaller portions, with traditional delicacies such as cozido, bean stew or liver made to a Portuguese recipe. The permanent list of Alentejo dishes includes migas à alentejana and migas gatas (with bacalhau). Good grills with excellent meat, such as tenderloin, Alentejo pork presas and secretos, and lamb chops. Homemade desserts such as toucinho do céu, bolo rançoso, sericaia with Elvas Plums PDO, chocolate mousse and other delicacies. A selection of mainly Alentejo wines!
