O Buraco da Zorra

Reviewed By Dave H - Madrid, Spain

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.

É um espaço alegre, calmo, com bom atendimento e tem umas pizzas feitas na hora que são uma delicia... para quem não gosta de piza tem snaks... mas para quem gosta de uma boa piza não deixe de visitar, pois de certo que irá adorar, eu fiquei rendida a massa é super fina e estaladiça, tem varias à escolha, as de eleição são a alentejana, 3A e de atum

3 Bicas

Reviewed By MMadalena - Lisbon, Portugal

We end up on this restaurant door at 9pm and it smelled good so we went for it.
The regional cheese, olives, (1/2) chicken was nice, salad, fries, great (1/2L) red wine from the area, a very good dessert and 2 coffees. The price, a joke, 13€.
And best of all, the waiter was really friendly and helpfull.
The down side is the menu, there were like 3 options.

O Frances

Reviewed By John M - Raleigh, North Carolina

This was the best robalo (snook or some say sea bass) we've ever eaten. One serving was plenty for two. And at fifteen euros cash, it was a bargain. The vinho verde (green wine - an effervescent young white wine) - was every good.

Restaurant "A Cave"

Reviewed By Amazon122s - Santa Comba Dao, Portugal

Restaurant “A Cave” – Viano do Alentejo.
Nice restaurant who was recommended to us among some others by the tourist office.
We were eating there at noon, after we returned from our visit to the nearby located “Sanctuario de Nossa Senhora de Aires” at about 2 km from the restaurant.
It is a typical & regional who serves typical plates, and is located just outside the centre, we had two entries, two typical plates, and a house wine and have paid 25€.
The quality of the food is fresh and good, so price quality are more than ok, the owner is very friendly, it is very clean, and has enough place for about 70 persons.
Anyhow we can warmly recommend this restaurant to the people who are visiting the village.

If you're nearby and don't want some cosy but you value local food, you won't regret your stop. I had a lovely deer stew! Given it's outside the tourist circuits you're never find those prices anywhere. Recommended!

Restaurante O Camoes

Reviewed By miguelstanley - lisbon

If you want a family experience and food like it tastes a hundred years ago with ingredients fresh from the land. This is the place. It's low key, unpretentious, simple and family owned and run. Don't expect fashion or fancy thing. Expect to be treated with love and to eat like you have never eaten before.
I love this place

This was our first choice for the first night. Very traditional restaurant. The price is very affordable is a good mix quality versus price. I went there to eat my favourite Alentejo dish Migas and was delicious.
