Stopped by for a quick lunch and grabbed the bacalhau. Cooked just right. They even threw in some bread and cheese to start. Solid spot if you&#39;re in a hurry.

The view over the lake is something else. Food was solid too. Pricey, yeah, but you&#39;re paying for the setting. Had a decent meal, nothing crazy, but the scenery made it worth it. If you&#39;re in the area and don&#39;t mind spending a bit more, it&#39;s a good stop.

The waitress noticed I spilled some sauce on my shirt and actually brought me something to clean it with before I even asked. That was pretty thoughtful. Food came out quick, service was friendly the whole time. Portions are decent for what you pay, nothing crazy but fair. I&#39;d go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The Francesinha here is solid. Big portion, sauce has good depth, and the staff clearly know what they&#39;re doing. Had the house cake after&mdash;decent way to wrap up. Place was busy but service stayed sharp. Not the cheapest, but you&#39;re paying for quality. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Stopped by for lunch and honestly the portion caught me off guard. Got the grilled fish plate and it was plenty for two people, price was fair for what came out. Place is tiny so don&#39;t expect fancy, but the food does the talking. Just wish they had more seating, we waited a bit for a table.

The place looks nothing special from the outside, but the food and service really caught me off guard. I went for the grilled octopus and a glass of white wine that paired nicely with it. The staff knew their drinks, which I appreciated. Just wish the portions were a bit bigger for the price. Still, a solid spot.

Solid cuttlefish with clams. Proper Alentejo food, no fuss. Staff were sound. Bill was fair for what you got. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back.

The grilled octopus was spot on, tender and smoky. Nice little spot in Alpalh&atilde;o, though the menu could use clearer allergen info.

Stopped by for lunch on a sunny day and the setting really got me. Food was fresh, no complaints there. Staff even made a fuss over our dog, which was sweet. Nice little spot if you&#39;re in the area.

We came here twice during our stay and both times the food was solid. Filip and Julia at the front actually remembered us the second time, which was a nice touch. The space itself is pretty comfortable too, good lighting, not too loud even when it got busy. Just wish the menu changed a bit more between visits, but that&#39;s a minor thing.

The buffet starters let you try a bit of everything, which I liked. Main dishes are pretty big, so go hungry. I had the grilled fish and it was fine, nothing fancy. The dessert cart looked nice but I was too full to bother. Service was friendly enough, though we did wait a while for the bill. Comfortable seats, so I didn&#39;t mind the extra time.

The black pork secreto was really good, juicy and full of flavor. Our waitress was chatty in a nice way, made the whole thing more fun. Place got a bit loud later on, but I still enjoyed my meal. Solid option if you&#39;re in the area and want something simple but tasty.

Lamb and monkfish rice were both solid. Host spoke clear English and didn&#39;t miss a detail. Good spot for a no-fuss dinner.

Stopped by for a quick dinner and ended up staying longer than planned. The live music was a nice touch, not too loud. Had the grilled fish, pretty solid. Prices are okay for what you get. Staff let me take my time, no rush. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The egg rolls were actually pretty good. Crispy, not greasy. I had the sweet and sour pork too, sauce was balanced, not too sugary. For a small town, this place is surprisingly authentic. I&#39;d go back if I&#39;m craving Chinese again. Maybe just wish they had a few more veggie options on the menu.

The four-cheese pizza didn&rsquo;t really hit the mark&mdash;just mozzarella and parmesan, no blue cheese kick. For the price, I expected more. Still, I keep coming back for the vibe.

A beautiful restaurant with excellent food and service. Tip: try the duck Margret with orange sauce. The cheese mousse with red fruits as dessert

Stopped by for a quick bite and ended up staying longer than planned. The owner actually sat down and chatted for a bit, which was nice. Food was solid, home-style stuff. Portions are big, I couldn&#39;t finish mine. Not fancy at all, but that&#39;s the charm. Would go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The mixed seafood rice was solid, came out fast too. House dessert with espresso hit the spot. Busy at lunch but worth it.

The view really is something else at sunset. We grabbed a table outside and just watched the sky change while eating. Traditional dishes were solid, portions big enough that we didn&#39;t need to order more. Staff was friendly, didn&#39;t have to wait long for anything. Would come back just for that view honestly.

Stopped by for dinner and honestly the portion size caught me off guard. Got the grilled fish and it was plenty for two people, maybe even three. Price felt fair for what you get, especially in this area. Place was busy but the staff handled it well. Would come back if I&#39;m craving seafood again.

Stopped by for dinner and ended up upstairs in the dining room. The kid goat was the highlight, really tender and full of flavor. Fish soup was creamy too, perfect for dipping bread. Added the dessert buffet for &euro;6.50, not bad at all. Downstairs looked more like a casual bar, different mood up here. Would come back for that goat.

Walked in not knowing what to expect. Place looks like a small museum, owner&rsquo;s travels everywhere. Had the chicken moamba &mdash; rich, kinda spicy, really good. Samosas were solid too. Felt like eating around the world in one sitting. Only thing, service took a bit. But I&rsquo;d go back.

lovely location and go choice in the weekend buffet.

The tournedos were spot on - tender, juicy, that cream sauce with bacon just worked. Pork neck slices were solid too. Sat by the window watching the square, pretty nice vibe. Service kept it simple, no fuss. Maybe a touch pricey for what you get, but I left full and happy.

Stopped here before Almourol castle, got the fried cod. Huge plate, really tasty, but pricey for a daily special. House wine was a miss though.

Came for the fish stew &mdash; that thing was massive. Tasty, rich, proper comfort food. Portion big enough for two honestly. Price fair for what you get. Service was alright, nothing special but no complaints. Just go hungry.

Staying in a converted 14th-century monastery is something else. The old stone walls mixed with modern comfort just works. Jo&atilde;o and Daniel at the front desk were genuinely lovely, made us feel looked after without being over the top. Only thing&mdash;the room got a bit cold at night. But honestly, that atmosphere made up for it.

Honestly, the meat here was some of the tastiest I&rsquo;ve had in a long time. We just ordered a few things to share and everything came out properly seasoned. Service was spot on too, never had to wait long for anything. Place was busy but we still felt looked after. Would come back just for that grilled chorizo again.

The staff made it great.  Our reservation wasn&rsquo;t even registered because there was a mixup with communication by the owners and their staff.  They didn&rsquo;t have the fork bookings registered. However, the delightful staff gave my family and I a wonderful table and the food was as fantastic. Having never eaten snails,  it was either a one-time thing or to try again. Without a doubt, we will be back!  Thank you Tasquinha do Gavetas, especially the staff that saved the evening for us.
