Portuguese Restaurants near Cercal, PT

“We had dinner here twice and loved the local, laidback, traditional vibes and caring service.
The olives and bread were delicious.
We particularly loved the choco (squid) and white fish (Galo). Also the house white wine in a jug was so delicious.
Such great value for money for home cooked food served with love.“

“Small restaurant but with a spectacular atmosphere.Small terrace, when we arrived there was no space. However, we had already ordered when they asked us if we wanted to go to the terrace. They were super attentive, helpful and always in a good mood.The portion of the mixed grill for 2 px is super well served. Accompany with fruits that taste super good. I wasn't a fan of the migas, but they were tasty.A place to repeat on a next adventure through Alentejo.As it is located in a square/roundabout, there is no easy parking. We leave the caravan ahead on the left in a large parking lot. (Near cemetery)“

“An absolute loss. If you have a sweet tooth, it's better to catch you far from your apartment or you'll come home with ten kilos more. They also have salads, empanadas and gourmet products, but the sweets are all amazing. I can't put a photo of the cocoa bolus we bought because there aren't even any crumbs left.“

“Four years after our first visit we are still very impressed. My husband's pork cheek was amazing. I loved my fried squid and my 12 year old loved her carbonara. So sad it's our last night. We would eat here every night. Great value and lovely owners. We only hope they are still here for our next visit. We will certainly be back. We love the quality and tranquility of the place. Thank you. X“

“(Translated by Google) It's a bar I've known for a long time, and it even has pictures of a good friend of mine. Great ambience.(Original)É um bar que já conheço há muito tempo, e até tem quadros dum grande amigo meu. Grande ambiente.“

“We will definitely be back! We ate some eggs with alheira as a starter. The eggs were at the ideal point (not overcooked) and the sausage had crispy pieces! Delicious:)
The main dishes followed: Cheeks of the Day that were literally melting they were so soft and the Lagartos with Alentejo crumbs and some equally delicious vegetables.
The end was a freshly burnt Milk Cream which was good (but not extraordinary)
It is recommended to book, especially if you come in the summer!!“

“(Translated by Google) Pleasant surprise in São Luís.Super nice environment and originally decorated. Some books made you go back to childhood....The service is excellent, professional yet relaxed. The food is very, very tasty and beautifully presented.I had a vegetarian burger for dinner and for dessert I ordered a lime pie. Both were delicious.Returning and highly recommended.(Original)Agradável surpresa em São Luís.Ambiente super agradável e originalmente decorado. Alguns livros fizeram-se regressar à infância....O atendimento é excelente, profissional mas descontraído. A comida é muito, muito saborosa e com óptima apresentação.Jantei um hamburguer vegetariano e para sobremesa pedi uma tarte lima. Ambos estavam deliciosos.A regressar e altamente recomendável.

“(Translated by Google) Ladies and gentlemen, what food!!!All very well served, delicious and the service was courteous and friendly. I recommend and will return whenever possible. Observation: Rump on the stone, it is to be eaten kneeling.(Original)Senhoras e senhores, que comida!!!Tudo muito bem servido, delicioso e o atendimento foi cortês e simpático. Recomendo e retornarei sempre que possível. Observação: Alcatra na pedra, é de comer ajoelhado.“

“Even though I'm not a big fan of mega-large restaurants, I was pleasantly surprised. We ordered a curious mix of octopus leg (correct) with a pizza (very good). We don't have dessert. Although there is usually a queue, they serve quite quickly. The menu is very extensive and covers all types of food (practically). The price was €42.75“

“We had read very good recommendations and it doesn't surprise me. It is recommended to reserve because although the place is small and there are several tables, it is very popular.
The food is homemade, but elaborate. They treated us with great love and dedication. We ordered squid with hake roe and stuffing that enhanced its flavor. Then clams with a fish similar to hake and a sauce similar to green. For dessert (it's worth making room for) the chocolate mouse and cheesecake with pistachios. The price was €60.
Congratulations to the chef and the entire team. It is a wonder!“

“Lots of options to choose from and all the food tastes fantastic, in a very welcoming atmosphere. The space is not very large, considering the number of people who come to them, but it still has a good terrace, a good room and a small terrace.
The price could be more appealing, but even so, it is one of the most affordable restaurants in that area.
I highly recommend it, as you will love it ?“

“We both had steaks (with different sauces) and enjoyed them. The waiter (son of the owner??) was super nice without being intrusive. I had another wonderfully tasting dessert made from egg whites, the name of which I unfortunately can't remember. One star deduction for the ambience, as the small room is very cramped and it is too bright (for my taste). To be fair, it has to be said that many restaurants in Portugal are similar.“

“Typical Alentejo restaurant, nothing fancy, but very welcoming.
It seemed like a family business even down to the jobs, there was a girl who was very friendly, while the two men we saw were very helpful but had few words or smiles.
However, the food was divine, we had octopus rice for dinner, the best I've ever had in my entire life, and super brothy had to be eaten with a spoon ? our son ate mixed grill, also super tasty, freshly roasted meats and homemade fries.
Desserts were also good, everything homemade, however I found both my egg white tart and my husband's homemade pudding extremely sweet... ?

An experience to repeat for the wonderful food...??“

“There is no trip to Porto Covo that does not include a visit to Primo Xico. From breakfast to lunch with some XXL toast without forgetting the delicious burgers!! I cannot fail to mention the friendliness of the entire staff!! I advise and recommend ☺️“

“Hele leuke tent om wat te eten! Het eten was erg lekker en het personeel helpt je graag. Ook zijn ze betrouwbaar, we hadden perongeluk een telefoon laten liggen. En die hebben we later op de avond zonder gedoe kunnen ophalen, de ober wist zelfs al toen we aan kwamen rijden wat er aan de hand was. Maar los van dat super maar ook makkelijk (lekker) gegeten,“

“The octopus very delicious. I didn't like the lagareiro cod, it was very bland (I think they went too far with the desalting) and it came with very little pepper or onion compared to the photos or compared to other dishes that were served to other customers.“

“(Translated by Google) A temptation for anyone who has the cult of the house. The variety of household items, decorative or useful, everything in this establishment can be found. Kitchen utensils are also present, which makes this commercial space an attractive and comprehensive world. Equipped with air conditioning.(Original)Uma tentação para qualquer pessoa que tenha o culto da casa. A variedade de artigos para o lar, decorativos ou utilidades, tudo neste estabelecimento encontra. Utensílios para a coziha também marcam presença o que faz deste espaço comercial um mundo atraente e abrangente. Equipada com ar condicionado.“

“I was waiting for a long time for someone to come and answer. I had time to take photos and make videos. I saw several people waiting and leaving. In my case, I really wanted coffee and cream. Can someone explain why it's always turned off on the platforms?!“

“(Translated by Google) Very good food, fast service and affordable prices. A very underrated restaurant that is very good for those passing through.(Original)Muito boa comida, atendimento rápido e preços acessíveis. Um restaurante muito subestimado que é muito bom pra quem está de passagem.“

“Dishes well prepared and balanced to taste.
Impeccable service both in the restaurant and takeaway.
I suggested separating the restaurant space from the takeaway space to give the restaurant more peace of mind. Repeating often ???“

“Very friendly restaurant, very well located and with great views of the sea.
Very friendly and attentive team, the service was incredible.
The starters and desserts were great.
The main course option, the first two choices were unfortunately no longer available. And the choice we made, unfortunately, wasn't wonderful either. We hope to return next time for better luck.
Good wine list.

It's worth the visit!
Reservation mandatory, at least on weekends during the summer, or else an hour wait at the door…“

“Visited O David at lunch time and had a great seat with a view of the cobbled walkway outside and a view of the Charcoal Barbecue Grill which has a clear , transparent viewing screen in front so you can watch whilst your lunch is being cooked.The Chicken Piri Piri was cooked absolutely perfectly and was super tasty.I had mine with Chips and Salad which again was lovely...I ordered a Glass of Red wine which was gorgeous...At lunchtime O David does a lunch deal of €6.90...Amazing value. I would definitely recommend to visit this Typically Portuguese Restaurant.“

“Conceito moderno e bastante interessante. Bem situado no centro da vila. Atendimento de excelência. E muitos parabéns ao cozinheiro(a). Para além da entrada que escolhemos (ovos mexidos com farinheira), as tirinhas de porco estavam muito saborosas e as migas muito aprovadas. Recomendo!“

“If you want a real Portuguese meal, this is a good choice. No frills, soccer supporter favourite, traditional 'dish of the day'. These are all time favourites and there is a brisk takeaway business. I guess there are no leftovers.“

“This is a restaurant with typical Portuguese food that lived up to expectations of what was a pleasant lunch in the center of one of the most beautiful locations on the Alentejo coast. The portions are quite acceptable and the quality of the food is very good! I will come back one day!“

“We went to this restaurant by chance.A typical restaurant with good cuisine.I don't give it 5 stars because really in terms of hygiene it's not the best. My glass came back dirty and the fried cuttlefish already tasted a bit like burnt oil.But other than that, it was a pleasant experience.“

“Nice beach bar. Good drinks, also cocktails. Small menu at upscale prices, but they're perfectly fine. The food is worth it, you notice the “relationship” to a nearby, very classy restaurant. Dogs, outside, no problem. We'd love to come back.“

“We arrived at 2220 and were served quickly, the food was good, I just didn't give it more stars because the fries weren't homemade. The portions are generous and the choco was great?! The people who work at the restaurant are very attentive. It was worth it “
