Petisqueira Alentejana

Very nice staff. Excellent cook . Friendly environment

It is advisable to make a reservation We tried to go to this restaurant without reservation and couldn't get a table that night. The next day we made an appointment and went there for dinner. We ordered bread and olives for starter, the olives were great) and for the main course, Grilled lamb ribs from Alentejo and Portuguese veal steak. The Lamb Ribs were absolutely PERFECT. For Dessert we ordered Pão Rala. We enjoyed it so much that we went back there a second time for dinner again. This time we only ate appetizers/starters and desserts. Scrambled Eggs à Petisqueira are great! For dessert we ordered a Pajama Doces Alentejanos a way to try 4 typical sweets) in this case we tried Teculameco Dessert based on eggs, almonds and icing sugar), Pão Rala Dessert with gila, almond and egg strands), Enxarcada de Ovos Eggs, cinnamon and sugar) and Delicia de Castanha a Chestnut Delight). All lactose free, to my own delight! All Covid rules are observed and strictly adhered to.

We had a real great time in this restaurant, the waiter speaks proper english and advice us on dishes and wine. Prices are affordable. I would recommend it to anyone !!

We were not overly impressed. The garlic prawns were reasonably tasty, but, as is often the case in this country, overcooked. The garlic pork bits were chewy, and the olive oil tasted like black olives, a characteristic that, in my opinion, spoils just about any food. I believe this to be indicative of low quality olive oil. The seafood platter was reasonable, and desserts also OK, but nothing remarkable. Service was very fine, except for the fact that they tried to charge for bread and olives which we did not eat. It was obvious we did not eat any of these when the waiter checked, so why did he decide to include these on the bill without checking first? And then, he tried to shortchange me by 10 Euros. As I've mentioned in some other review, I am a frequent target of such games in restaurants, though up to recently it was always in Italy. I am an older white man, with an attractive younger black wife, so I must be stupid, and hence a legitimate target for cheats. Several tables were occupied by families with kids, if that makes any difference to you. The meal for two, consisting of two entrees (no, not a US entree), a seafood platter for two, two desserts, and a bottle of wine, came to just under 60 Euros.

Um restaurante típico que partilha excelentes ingredientes e sabores da gastronomia local, transportando-nos para uma experiência muito boa. Para repetir, o mais rápido possível!

We took the whole family for lunch. From fresh cheese with tomato, squid and febras de coentrada, to pork secrets and lizzards, all with great migas de coentros. Ending with codffish with broa. OmG, what a family lunch! And the price was very accesible! If you are aroubd for a meal, this is a sure bet. Bom apetite!

Pessoal muito educado e atencioso (menus disponíveis em inglês, grande vantagem para estrangeiros) Preços condizentes com a qualidade e tamanho das porções. Comida de boa qualidade. Grandes porções. Definitivamente vale a pena a visita.
