Alvito in Autumn is not overblessed with dining possibilities, and this looked like (and was) a cosy, welcoming place. The locals were dining there and it is clearly popular. But in common with other eateries, there is little idea of how to treat diners even in the smarter places, let alone the spit and sawdust ones. There was none of the cheese whose description in a previous review had helped entice me in. The vegetable caldo (clear broth) we ordered was forgotten, out came the main courses, and they were not so good when kept warm as we ate the soup! The wine list was good and we ordered a 2004 red which really needed decanting to remove the debris: this is a wine growing area and locals should know that. The main course was hearty and good, but not above the normal. The desert and coffee was fine, too.This may be a better option when it is busier in high season, but be prepared for hit and miss (even indifferent) service and gastronomic highs and lows. While acceptable, lots of other rustic places in Alentejo are way better.Hello Dave H, i apologise for not meeting your expectations, especially since you were such kind and educated customers has i recall. You are right about the service that particular evening, we,ll do our best to improve that situation, the low season is in fact an issue.About the wine though, i'm sure you will give me the benefit, that i advise you to choose a more recent wine, especially since that 2004 bottle was not a Reserve, you tasted the wine and said it was good, and when you asked for a second bottle of the same year, one would assume everything was fine.Thank you for your review and we hope you'll give us the chance of redeem ourselves on a future visit. All the best.

During our road trip through Portugal, we accidentally stepped into this bar while visiting the lovely village Cuba. We were the only couple sitting in the garden and were served perfectly by the friendly waitress. Cause we were visiting this place in low season, we did not expect the kitchen to be ready. But it was the total opposite. The chef prepared a perfect tapas menu. For us this restaurant made our visit to Cuba something we won't forget.

Relatively new winery (2002) with fine restaurant showcasing the range of wines accompanying very good food. Diverse menu with snacks, full a la carte, and two fixed price menus including wine with each course. Tasting menu featured well cooked, well presented dishes. The service from each member of staff was highly attentive with interesting explanations/descriptions of both food and wine. Delightful surroundings. Excellent value for money.

Waiting to order we listen to a small 5 bar people singing Cante (typical alentejo songs). The pork meals were superb. The lamb ones not so good. It's a pity that the desserts were not alentejo typical!
