“The owner is charming.
He speaks Spanish well.
We loved it because he is friendly and good at conversation.
What it has to do with being from a Spanish mother to a Portuguese father.
Thank you Luis for your welcome.“

“Comida típica portuguesa. Arroz caldoso, frango, pinchos de carne tipo pinchos asados brasileros, linguisa, ...y los postres más típicos: baba de camello, siricaia, pasteis de belem y todas esas delicatessens. Para mi, un sitio de referencia y un imprescindible de la comida portuguesas. Tiene unos salones enormes y un servicio muy atento. Estáis tardando en ir.“

“We went on the recommendation of a friend and the truth is that it was an incredible experience. We didn't know what to order and the waiter recommended the grilled squid and the grilled lizard. Large quantities, with the two dishes to share and a dessert, two people ate. Very well priced. To highlight the attention and treatment of the staff. To put a but, say that it took a while to serve us, but if you are in no hurry it is worth it, because you can tell that they cook everything at the moment.“

“First time in Portugal. We ended up eating there by chance. We went around 5:30 p.m. and they received us without problems. Impeccable attention.They made the food for us as we went. The owners, a very friendly couple, took great care of us at all times.Regarding the food... GREAT!! Everything is very very very rich and very very very tasty.In fact, while we were waiting for the food, they brought us some olives and some cheese from the area and... Brutal!! The place is really worth it because of how abundant the dishes are, the homemade food, the flavor, the attention, the price... Everything!! Also, we were completely alone while we ate, so we took it easy.I recommend 100%“

“We popped in the door for wine and bingo. We found a charming place, where we were treated very kindly, and we tried a Verdejo from the Estremoz area that tasted great. The site is an old horse stable, converted into a tavern, with remains of an ancient wall and original arched columns. We haven't ordered food, so we'll have to come back to see it.“

“We loved it, from the attention from the waiters, which was magnificent, to the food.
We were able to try the rice with monkfish, and it was wonderful. Also the tomato soup, one of the best I have ever eaten.
The dishes are huge.
Highly recommended.“

“Very good stop on the way, family atmosphere, very very good value for money and perfect service! If we return this way we will stop a thousand times more! There were quite a few people, maybe on weekends it's very crowded but it's worth the wait!“

“Spectacular place! It is a village bar but with a lot of charm. The waiters were super friendly and smiling, we felt at home.The food of 10!! We ordered a cheek in sauce, one of the best we have ever eaten; and a delicious scrambled eggs with golden cod! Highly recommended, quality price ?“

“Perfect restaurant in Santa Cruz town. Perfect food, perfect service. Martin ( our guide in the restaurant ) was very pleasunt and helpful with the wine decision and food. We tried grilled limpets, octopus taver style, steak tavern style. All dished were very delicious. For sure need to try and ask Martin! ❤️?“

“Elvas cafeteria that has a wide variety of sweets at good prices. Any of the sweets are delicious. They also have ice cream.You take your turn, order, pay and take it to the table, there is no waiter service. Recommended if you visit Elvas, a good place for breakfast and a snack.“

“I could almost hear the laughter in the response to our email, 6 weeks in advance of our departure for Lisbon, requesting a booking for lunch; we're totally booked out. So, we took the ferry and walked the long walk along the waterfront and just turned up, with an hour to go before the advertised closing time and that Fickle Finger of Fate (as they used to say on Laugh In) smiled down on us and a table was found. The legend and the hype (thanks Phil) paled into insignificance, compared to the real thing. The food was exquisite, the location, the setting, the friendly staff, the sun shining and sparkling on the water. It was definitely worth taking a chance and I'd do it again in an instant. A truly memorable dining experience.“

“Excellent, huge portions, excellent bacallau and octopus. Good treatment and very quiet place. Price in line with the quality.The service is careful and efficient, very well organized and professionally oriented to satisfy the customer.Mr. Joao is a good meter. I recommend booking, it is a leading restaurant in Elvas and is usually very busy. Recommendable.

Parking: Casan Elvas itself, near the historic center.“

“A lovely find, looked closed but so we tried it
The staff were welcoming and very helpful. We had the Piranha for 2 people, came with chips, rice, black beans and fried banana. The meat is sliced at the table, taken back to the grill and sliced again. Perfect.
There were a mix a locals and tourists giving the restaurant a good vibe.“

“We had a great meal in here a few nights ago, nothing outstanding but nothing wrong. We've eaten many meals in the Alentejo region over the years and this one didn't disappoint. For a kick off, great wine, as you would expect from an outstanding wine region. Bread, local cheese and olives served, all good. Main courses. Pork with clams and Migas with pork, Migas one of the best I've tasted. Pudding, homemade creme caramel, delicious. Would definitely return.“

“(Translated by Google) Café and SNACK-BAR operating since 1955. Well located in the center of the monumental city of Elvas. You can snack and have a few drinks.(Original)Café e SNACK-BAR a funcionar desde 1955. Bem localizado no centro da cidade monumental de Elvas. Pode petiscar e beber uns copitos.“

“I was reluctant to have lunch here due to the negative reviews I read. I can confirm that the service is a little better than "poor" from the two female staff. The manager (I believe it was) is extremely professional and was what "saved" us. Be it the service, the table setting and the friendliness. Our order was served quickly contrary to what I read in many reviews. The fact that it is a weekday and practically empty may influence the analysis. Excellent quality/price for the meal (the best I found in Alentejo this holiday). I believe that with more attention and criteria in the professionals you hire in the future, your overall evaluation can only go up. I recommend it because I would definitely have lunch here again!“

“Friendly staff, excellent homemade food, very good homemade desserts.We ate secret and chicken. And desserts sericaia with plum, ice cream, mousse, baked appleThe wine is very good.We really liked it, we came twice in the same week.We recommend!“

“Delicious food, we ordered. Rice with baked duck, Cod with spinach, which I really liked, Alentejo meat (meat in sauce with clams) and they were accompanied with fries and lettuce and tomato salad. A very large restaurant, but very noisy.We have already gone several times. It can be recommended.“

“A restaurant worth revisiting. Despite being frequented by many tourists, the menu is rich in Portuguese cuisine. The service is highly efficient, the food presentation deserves high praise, and our choices lived up to expectations. The price is very reasonable.“

“a place that saved our lives, with an open kitchen and very good dresser, the waitress's attention is excellent, despite us not speaking Portuguese, she spoke to us a little but good Spanish and served us without a problem. The food is excellent, very good flavor and generous quantity.“

“Homemade food, without complications and rich. Menu at a good price. There are 3 of us and we have eaten 2 gazpachos, 1 soup, a gilthead bream, battered chicken, sirloin steak, 2 desserts and 1 bottle of water (+ bread and butter that they provide and charge for here in Portugal). All €33.“

“A small cafe but despite your physical limitations (due to your age), it served us very well and with unusual friendliness, I must say that I went there just to have a snack and the snails were delicious, up there a few meters away, there yes it is a restaurant“

“Very tasty and good price.Super friendly, approachable and dynamic staff.My daughter left her suitcase with the medication she takes. The staff kept it and told us that we could pick it up at that very moment because they were still having dinner, which allowed us to retrieve the vital medication in a timely manner.Friendly, attentive. Thanks“

“Overall, the experience was positive. The ambiance is lovely, many musicians rotated in and out of each set- making the music the highlight of the evening. Menu choices were varied, multiple courses, and the wait staff attentive. The wine carafe was never empty.“

“I liked the food and would return to this establishment. I think it's worth the value for money. I ordered the steak with house sauce, although it was noticeable that the sauce was defrosted and heated, the flavor was still wonderful.

The only bad point about the restaurant: they only receive cash.“

“"O Grémio Bar" located in Praça da República in Elvas, a place where the price-quality is excellent with the right to watch the various shows that were held there very often and with an underground municipal parking lot. Owner (Toi) very friendly and attentive with employees who do everything to satisfy customers. The excellent cook. In addition to a very good plate of ham, we had a veal steak with mushrooms and roast cod which were very, very good. I will be back and recommend.“

“Good restaurant, not bad...
The dishes are abundant and good... (In the photos I post they have much less quantity since I didn't have time to make them).

The restaurant is next to the road, easy to park and with very good service, very cordial, friendly and attentive...

Large rooms, several TVs to watch sports and attend in groups, it is comfortable...

Parking: Parking at the foot of the restaurant...

Kid-friendliness: No problem if you eat inside, if you eat outside since it is close to the road.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor, no problem, to access the bathroom a couple of steps, without major difficulty.“

“Traditional Portuguese restaurant.
Very generous portions, good food, good service.
Starters, main course, drinks, dessert and coffee €35 for 2 people.
In the photo, on the left is Alentejo meat and on the right are pork cheeks.
There is no ATM.
A restaurant to return to.“

“The food is wonderful and the service is excellent. Calm environment where we can taste good Portuguese food served in generous portions. We ordered 3 dishes and they were all extraordinary: Bacalhau à Bras, Carne de pork à Alentejana and bacalhau na tile. We loved being served by Ana who was super friendly and kind. Definitely one of the best options in Elvas“

“They don't take reservations, but we had no problem finding a table. The staff is scarce but they were very attentive and advised us well. The seared cod was very delicious, the clams too and we ate an exquisite sea bass, cooked on the grill. Very good homemade desserts. We saw that the people who arrived later had to wait a little for the food,“

“(Translated by Google) A modest site that, from the outside, seems to tell you nothing. But the treatment and the food are spectacular. A first-class golden cod, a good beef steak with its garnish (rice and potatoes) very well cooked, and a truly spectacular Alentejo cheese tapa. We ate 3 people for just over 35 euros, so the evening was perfect in every way. Without a doubt, we will repeat in this restaurant when we return to Elvas.(Original)Sitio modesto y que, por fuera, parece no decirte nada. Pero el trato y la comida son espectaculares. Un bacalao dorado de primera categoría, un buen bistec de ternera con su guarnición (arroz y patatas) muy bien de punto, y una tapa de queso alentejano realmente espectacular. Comimos 3 personas por poco más de 35 euros, así que la velada fue redonda en todos los sentidos. Sin duda, volveremos a repetir en este restaurante cuando regresemos a Elvas.“
