El Convento

Reviewed By elizacantlay - Lawrenceville, New Jersey

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.

Doces & Companhia

Reviewed By Richard B - Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom

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.

Sever Restaurante

Reviewed By tb911 - San Diego

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.

Don Pedro V Restaurante

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.

El-Rei Dom Manuel

Reviewed By Carrie B - Washougal, Washington

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!

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.

Casa Do Povo

Reviewed By Christopher S

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.

Restaurante Solar Do Forcado

Reviewed By Ricardo A - Proenca-a-Nova, Portugal

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.

When we called, the restaurant had not yet commenced dinner service (a peril of travelling with small children) but we were welcomed nonetheless and the manager took time to explain some house specialities to us which were not available elsewhere.
