“I can say that I have never felt so welcome and welcomed in a restaurant like this! 5-star food, super welcoming space and the staff are out of this world, super friendly. Not to mention the food and the coriander crumbs which are super tasty ???“

“It's worth the trip (for those who aren't from the area) and the time-consuming experience because, in addition to the excellent gastronomic and oenological offerings that are very present with a contemporary Alentejo matrix, the friendliness, brio and joy with which we are received and treated is unforgettable. A very special thank you to Chef Michelle and Chef Rúben for everything. I also recommend visiting and/or staying at Casa Gafanha, the newest brother in the group ??“

“This was the best meal we had in a week of outstanding meals in Portugal. All the dishes were excellent and wile the wild boar was something I am glad to have tried once, the steak was totally out of this world, 110 per cent! All the dishes were designed to be shared, which particularly appealed to the Asian side of my family. The whole experience was complimented by the lively surroundings and whimsical artworks, and the accompanying own brand wines chosen by the attentive sommelier were all superb. All in all a most enjoyable evening (and excellent value too!)“

“An excellent experience!
We were received very warmly, despite a mistake with our reservation, there were no obstacles to our lunch.
Wonderful food, very well prepared and with regional products.
We will definitely return.“
“Not all winery restaurants are created equal. This one embraces the essence of a local cuisine, and then fuses it with a new air of creativity. The food is to die for, and serve in a way that reinvent the classic. Octopus to quail pork to migas it’s really good and the views in the dining room or extraordinary. Plus you can get a tour and do a wine tasting it’s worth a trip.“

“Pleasant and unusual surprise. I stopped for lunch on a work day. The restaurant was full and I decided to leave, but the owner surprised me with a "pst where are you going..." and promptly found us a table and served without delay. Very good black pork cheeks, not very fatty, well prepared and at a fair price. I recommend it and will definitely return.“

“It was a very pleasant surprise, we were passing through and ended up eating here, and thank goodness, as it's delicious, the alheira balls, without a doubt the best I've ever eaten, not to mention the starters and the main course, all prepared in the time and super good. I highly recommend it.“

“The restaurant has new owners and has reopened at the end of March 2024. What an improvement! Friendly & enthusiastic people, the food is delicious and really better than it was under the previous owners. Large portions (we think?) so go there with an empty stomach ;) The location is of course beautiful! Beautiful decor and the view is fantastic! Definitely go for this rediscovery!“

“We came for lunch based on all the great reviews. It was even better than we expected. We had no reservation but were warmly welcomed by the staff and seated right away. The bread was excellent. Two of us are vegetarian and they made us an absolutely delicious shitake mushroom risotto. The other two in our group had the seafood paella and were equally delighted with their food and said it was the best paella they have ever eaten. The passion fruit cheesecake was divine. We will absolutely be returning to this restaurant the next time we are in the area.
Vegetarian options: Although this restaurant specializes in meat dishes, they were happy to prepare for us a really special mushroom risotto. It's as good as any you would find in a highly rated vegetarian restaurant.“

“A space alluding to Sporting, with a familiar and welcoming service, simply fantastic food (I recommend the grilled meat). Very good price-quality ratio and a lot of friendliness and kindness from the owners. A space not to be missed in Estremoz.“
“Friday lunch, got there early at 12:00. Very pleasant outside area to sit in. Great service, good food - I had fish with potatoes and salad, all very fresh and well presented. My husband had lamb chops, they were excellent. The cheesecake was really good and chocolate mousse too. With bread and olives, a glass of wine, 4 beers, bottle of water and a coffee the bill was 52 euros. Will definitely return.“
“An ideal place, away from the usual circuit of restaurants close to the border with Spain, and that is precisely why it provides an authentic local flavor of nature, we could say, Alentejo.They have a brief menu of starters, daily specials, fish and meat, but cooked over a slow fire in the Portuguese tradition.We had Feijoada, which are large beans with rice, very well seasoned, and a skewer of tight pork (exquisite!) and for dessert, a camel slime.The service was quite fast and the waiter was very attentive: he spoke Spanish very well.“

“When was the last time you went to a restaurant and had the chance to taste wine before ordering, where in a meeting with the owner you had to discuss recipes, wines and olive oils? Where was the care taken to treat you as more than just customers?
It all started with a web search and comments that Taverna dos Conjurados had closed because they "had retired". I went looking for the space and found the owner doing some exterior renovations and informing me that they were only open on weekends and operated by appointment. I made an appointment for the following night (Friday).
The Renaissance fair took away our appetite, but we ordered a salad as a starter.
This was followed by sirloin steaks with apple puree and wild rice and duck magret where I swapped the fried potatoes for rice. The flavors matched perfectly and the wine complemented it. Curiosity for the description of Manjar das Chagas made us order dessert. We also ordered cream cheese sweets....
It was a very well spent dinner where the combination of flavors was perfect.
From us, thank you very much.“
“Traditional, regional food done right. The winery setting is lovely but the food really is second to none. Generous portions of amazing food with a generous wine list to go along. Not to miss if you visit Borba (the Borba winery own shop next door has an incredible selection of some of the best local wines).“
“The last typical in Borba and one of the very few that survived in Alentejo. Food is very good and tastes homemade, this is not your typical restaurant, they served only two or 3 dishes per day that change daily and seasonally.If you want an affordable meal with and experience the true feel of Alentejo don’t miss this place.“

“Beautiful place in Estremoz, really a must-go!Wonderful ambience, full of local history and stories, super kind and friendly staff and owners, and a wide variety of Alentejo and Portuguese traditional dishes, including desserts, with incredible flavors. Alentejo style meat or Farofias for dessert are very very recommended! Wine is also fantastic!Hope to be back soon !“
“(Translated by Google) The interior of the restaurant is very elegant, but when it's hot, it feels good to dine outside in the garden, everything is very good!(Original)O interior do restaurante é muito elegante, mas com calor sabe bem jantar no exterior no jardim, tudo muito bom!“
“(Translated by Google) Nice space, good coffees and other hot food.It's becoming more and more of a beer joint, which is a shame.(Original)Espaço agradável, bons cafés e outras comidas quentes.Está se a tornar cada vez mais numa tasca para se beber cerveja, o que é uma pena.“
“Simple, honest and very welcoming atmosphere, very friendly prices. Very nice comfort food.
For starters we ate a beautiful sheep's cheese from Rio de Moinho and olives, for the main course we had oven-roasted lamb with crumbled lettuce salad, and for dessert walnut cake and egg pudding.
Good preparation, tender, tasty meat, well seasoned, good wine, excellent service with a very personal touch, at the end they offer a glass of pennyroyal to all customers.
To be repeated, without a doubt.“

“Great little place near the large town square, which has free parking.
At the time we visited, they were only serving pizzas, although the menu is more extensive.
Anyway, the veg pizza we ordered was delicious. The service was good and the lady could speak some English.“

“One of the best dinners I have enjoyed on 3rd trip to Lagos. This is a jewel. Think of an old fashioned steakhouse where you expect to see Frank Sinatra seated in a corner table.The wine selection is extensive. You can purchase a reasonably priced bottle or a very expensive bottle. Antonio is one of the most knowledgeable sommelier’s I have met. We drank a 1966 bottle and he expertly opened it and decanted it. The wine was a perfect match for our meal.The rack of lamb is so flavorful. It has mint mixed in the seasoning but not overpowering. The steak filet is prepared table side and an experience not to be missed. The filet is served with a mushroom wine sauce- you will ask for a second piece of bread to soak up the sauce.Dessert was crepes prepared table side.Overall, an amazing experience. Great food and great service.“

“We were returning to Spain but we wanted to eat some migas from Alentejo because they are famous. Searching we ended up in this place, where we ordered the crumbs (only crumbs because we were on a budget at the end of the trip). Even though we sat at a table just to order some crumbs, they treated us better than anywhere I have ever been. Furthermore, they gave us the best crumbs in the history of Portugal and they never complained that we only ordered that. Like nowhere really here, if you are lucky enough to end up here, I congratulate you.“
“(Translated by Google) Even if the owner struggles with English, he was super friendly and we found two great dishes (fish and meat). Real, good and rich home cooking with a good price/performance ratio. No frills local experience. Rather less for vegans/vegetarians and for special occasions. For everything else a 100% recommendation. Reservation via chat in Google Maps worked well. Parking possible at the entrance of the village.(Original)Auch wenn sich der Besitzer mit Englisch schwer tut, war er super freundlich und wir haben zwei tolle Gerichte (Fisch und Fleisch) gefunden. Echte, gute und reichhaltige Hausmannskost mit einem guten Preis- / Leistungsverhältnis. Lokales Erlebnis ohne Schnickschnack. Eher weniger was für Veganer/Vegetarier und für besonderes Anlässe. Für alles andere eine 100% Empfehlung. Reservierung über Chat in Google Maps hat gut funktioniert. Parken am Eingang des Dorfes möglich.“
“(Translated by Google) The snails were very good and the tomato soup too. The baits were cooked like my grandmother's, who is also from Alentejo. The price-quality ratio is really good. It has a very nice terrace. Very much worth a visit.(Original)Os caracóis estavam muito bons e a sopa de tomate também. As iscas estavam cozinhadas como as da minha avó que também é alentejana. A relação qualidade peço é mesmo muito Boa. Tem um terraço que é muito agradável. Merece muito uma visita.“
“We found this gem by searching restaurants near by and it was the photos that caught our interest! Reviews of course always help but are based on personal experiences and choice of dishes! We absolutely loved this cozy place! Very popular with the locals so we knew we picked a great spot ! We ordered the battered fish accompanied by a side of rice and beans and salad, and a bottle of white wine! We enjoyed our dinner here very much! Very reasonably priced and the service was great! We had no room for dessert but they all seem to order something afterwards and sweets looked really good! Overall I highly recommend this spot when in the area!“
“A professional team that focuses on the customer. Events are always well organized and meet schedules. The decoration of the room is simply fantastic.
The menu has several options and the tasting is always very good.
Diverse wine cellar with many notes of wines from the region.“

“Great!! We went several times, for lunch and dinner, during our vacation in Vila Viçosa. The team is always friendly and cheerful, the atmosphere pleasant and the food tasty. The shrimp pizza is incredible, as well as the asparagus omelette, the kebabs and the desserts (especially the 'Besides good', it's more than good).“

“The steaks are 5 stars, the terrace is quite pleasant at night, apart from two dogs that walk between the tables, if we are not careful one of them drools on the table so big that it is, satff!!!, the lady who serves it The table is short on words, but super attentive, the gentleman on the two nights I went there to eat was rude, arrogant, we asked for a table and told us to go see his colleague, the next day he turned his back, but for the Spanish he was a sweetheart I even offered them snails to try, it was an offer, apart from this poorly formed man, it's worth it, the food is very good“

“The food is simply wonderful, it takes a long time for the food to arrive at the table, but that must be because it is cooked fresh. The ideal is to perhaps order some starters while you wait. The price is not very cheap but for the quality of the food I think it is worth it.
Experience to repeat“

“Fantastic food
Made with great skill resulting in delicious and perfect dishes
Traditional Portuguese food prepared with great care.
I was speechless
The rabbit rice, the rooster, the lamb are all magnificent and of course don't miss the desserts, they are all delicious
Service without confusion and with a lot of organization, we were attended to with great friendliness and professionalism
For those who don't know the restaurant, the decor invites you to come in.
Thanks
I have to come back here“
