Medium sized restaurant on the corner - parking about 200 meters away or on the streets nearby. This has become one of our staple restaurants. Good fresh local food, superb presunto and shrimps in garlic and oil and a great house salad. Chef is fantastic, staff friendly and willing to leave out my food allergy items, and always with a smile on their faces. It can get very busy and there is a small section outside on the pedestrian walkway should you wish to dine in the sun, or smoke. They always have a good selection of grilled fish and other local specialities. Toilets are immaculate and suitable for disabled people and families with children. Really good value for money, we return often.

The Marquês is a Porto Covo classic and a must go if you are in the area. Sits on the main square and it is a difficult gig to try and get in as they donât take bookings. Be there early to secure a table. Food wise you can go for proper dishes or chose the âpetiscosâ or sharing plates (my favorite) they are equally awesome drawing their quality from the proximity to the sea. The fish, seafood but also the meet is masterfully cooked and presented with your option of wine or the best draught beer around. Service is old school, hectic but efficient. Pricey but worth it!

The food and service here is ok, but nothing special, especially compared to other places in the Alentejo region. We got charged for bread, cheese, pate and butter that we didnât order - it was brought to our table but made out to be complimentary. The portions are large, but its just not that great.

Traditional Portuguese Food Restaurant with a focus on Alentejo gastronomy in a cozy space with a balcony overlooking the village of São LuÃs and the surrounding mountains.

Great staff, delicious food, fantastic view. Our only regrets were stopping here for lunch instead of dinner (as we wouldâve had bigger appetites to fully indulge), and not finding this restaurant sooner. We were just pleased to find somewhere serving traditional Portuguese food, instead of a pizzeria, however we were so pleased with the service, the food, and the reasonable value. It is a smart, well kept restaurant, but with a relaxed atmosphere and an amazing view over the hills. Iâm ashamed to say our Portuguese is appalling, but the staff spoke perfect English and were very accommodating, so despite being abroad and slightly lost, we were still made to feel at home. Obrigado JENNIFERFL8208AU, toda a equipa da "Varanda da Aldeia" agradece ter partilhado a sua avaliação da experiência no nosso restaurante. Foi para todos nós um gosto imenso receber-vos e fazer-vos sentir em casa.Numa outra visita a Portugal contamos convosco para outras experiências gastronómicas.Grande abraço,António e equipa da Varanda da Aldeia.

A tiny place in a small traditional alentejo village with the best local food and excellent service. Casual dining outside or inside, very friendly staff and not expensive. We had goat's fresh cheese with ripe tomatoes and basil in balsamic vinegar (I wish we had asked for two), beef and lagartos de porco with homemade chocolate mousse as desert! Yum!!
3. Herdade da Matinha Restaurant
Reviewed By flyguy_lj
I'm really struggling for words with this place. It's in a beautiful location but the food was SO basic and laughably expensive. We waited for 15 mins to be asked for our order, when we mentioned we hadn't been offered a menu yet the waitress said "oh there's no menu, we just have two dishes, chicken leg with Vietnamese sauce and codfish with egg".. ok... so we took one of each. The chicken was so basic. Two legs of chicken with a side salad drizzled with a spicy sauce. A 5 year old could've made it. The codfish was an improvement but so small we were both still pretty hungry. The desert was polenta, adequate but again hardly breaking boundaries. I then had a coffee, which was served cold. All of this came to â¬96. We laughed as the bill was presented. I asked to speak to the manager, Tiago, to offer some constructive feedback. Tiago couldn't have been less interested and just kept saying "ok, discount" which wasn't really the point of calling his attention. He reduced the bill by â¬20, which again, wasn't the point. I'm really in shock that a restaurant, in Portugal, that is charging these prices has such low levels of quality and service. Never again - stick to the many traditional and value for money restaurants you'll find in the area.

We came around 14:15 on a Saturday and luckily there was a table in front of the counter was left. People who came after us had to wait for about 10min before a table in the room inside was ready.The gentleman of the establishment doesn't say much but quickly put up some standard stuff like bread, olives and butter and sardine pate. And then we had to wait for about 5-10min before the lady of the house came with the menu and told us the suggestions. The lady of the house is a sweet lady who surely is involved in the kitchen. We chose the filetes linguada (fried sole), porco with migas and the octopus. The sides arroz coentros that came with the fried fish was lovely, the chips were really nicely done. As for the mains, the thin filetes linguada were well battered and fried to perfection with a golden crust. Octopus is a must have! As for the porco with migas, I've had that better elsewhere ...but it was ok.The lady of the house kept asking if everything was ok and was sincerely nice, although I don't think you should expect her to speak English.For dessert the gentleman of the house kindly helped our children with ice cream and the melon for ⬠0,75 was great for value. Actually portions are big here and offer great value for price!Would I come back if I was heading this way? For sure!
