Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
Enjoy divine traditional Alentejo cooking and local wine under a wood-beamed ceiling and a crystal chandelier, or under a cork tree on a stone terrace alfresco. You'll imbibe alongside 6-foot clay jars, which locals have used to store wine since Roman times. Specialties include migas com entrecosto (bread crumbs with pork ribs), pork steaks with clam sauce, chickpea stew, and various fish and veggie soups. If you're lucky, you might catch an impromptu performance of fado—the staff are known to join in.
