Jun 29, 2026"The food is great: really tasty and big portions. We would especially recommend you try the grilled cheese with olive oil. Service is also great, the staff are very diligent and provide good suggestions. All in all a very nice, cozy, little restaurant, which we definitely recommend if you want to try typical food from Alentejo!"

May 22, 2026"Fine place for a (not so) quick bite when you're exploring the beautiful town of Arraiolos and it's surroundings. Very cozy but small indoors, but chances are you'll be choosing the terrace outdoors. Overall ambience it's quiet and laid-back. The snacks menu feels like the perfect fusion of the portuguese "petiscos" and the spanish "tapas", and you can taste a lot of typical Alentejo dishes."
