Good food but I killed 27 fruit flies when dessert arrived... ick. The red wine was great, as were the sopa de gallina and sopa de rape (monkfish I think). The interior is beautiful and the service is great... I would have been kinder in my rating had it not been for the flies! Also the lighting is searingly bright and should be reduced by 40% at least.

Visited several times for coffee and pastries, and once for a very tasty, great value lunch. Enjoyed sitting in the (occasional) sun on the Terrace at the back of the property, away from the square. Quiet, friendly, efficient service. Great soup - and some seriously strong local beer.

The grilled pork, grilled lamb chops, pork cheeks and stewed boar were all really tasty! I especially recommend the boar, and the cheeks were also good and unique. Also enjoyed the vegetable soup, tomato soup (traditional style here with bread ) and salads. Desserts were very nice! The wine list was special, with a lot of aged local wines, not something you see a lot of. I mean vintages from the 80's and 90's. As well as more recent stuff. All at very reasonable prices. All in all a very good restaurant. Staff was friendly and service was attentive. Worth the trip up and down the hill from Marvao proper.

The cod (bacaulhau) dorado, a cod, cheese and onion casserole, was out of this world. The gazpacho, which seemed to have a slight flavor of olives, was also very good. The restaurant is not far from the tourist information office.

A small, neat, clean below-street dining area (under the main hotel) next to a lovely patio garden sets the tone. the staff are gracious and helpful understanding the menu and selections. I personally have never tasted anything like their rustic (their own local version) tomato soup. Savory chunks of tomato with a poached egg right on top, fresh bread right in the soup and herbs....just not of this world! I thought I was in heaven as it was, but when they brought out the local lamb stew (also authentic) with the meat literally falling off the bone and freshly-boiled potatoes, herbs and vegetables adding their own heady flavors...the meal became perfect. I topped it off by sharing a chocolate crepe with ice cream. a meal to remember, adn the best I had my entire stay in Portugal!
6. Varanda do Alentejo

Reviewed By twotterdhc6 - Mississauga, Canada
I quite like their fixed menus - 3 courses at reasonable prices and featuring mostly local Alentejano cuisine. I especially remember the carne de porco à alentejana was grilled and seasoned well.
I thought the service was fine, though I went in the winter off-season with only a handful of tables filled.
7. Casa Do Povo

Am a bit puzzled by the negative reviews here. I stopped here largely for the superb views over the Alentejo on the Terrace, and was prepared to be given some pretty mediocre tourist-driven good, but the set menu ('prato do dia') was absolutely fine. Ordered fish, again with a little caution since we were so far inland, but it was nice. Service friendly, location amazing.

While driving to Portalegre , called to another restaurant asking if they would serve us a meal after 22:00, immediately answered NO.
Then we called this one and immediately answered "what's your name sir?"
We arrived with low expectations and we had a great meal.
The food was very tasty and besides the meat dish we had a tuna very well cooked.
Small but a very good spot to come back.
