TRAVEL THROUGH THE ALENTEJO FLAVORS
The restaurant, result of the reconstruction of the Aracoelli Convent ruins, has the capacity for 140 people and from there you can take in the view of the castle walls whilst enjoying a variety of dishes which keep to the typical Portuguese cuisine, accompanied with a Sadino wine topping the experience for all who visit. Planning your stay in order to be able to try everything the restaurant of the Pousada has to offer is a must. ​The menu of the bar is light and adapted seasonally.

The poolside bar serves salads, "prego no prato" on a wooden board that lives up to its name; light burgers. Time dictates the snacks that you can taste.

With a menu that is a perfect embassy of regional flavors, the restaurant is ideal for those who enjoy a good - and long - meal. The couvert, which you musn't miss, is composed of local olive oil, sea salt, olives, butters and typical bread of Alentejo, compact and with a slightly sour flavor. The following are the amuse-bouche, which are always a surprise, but that certainly containtypical regional products: carrots in vinaigrette, fresh cheese with olive oil and oregano and pig ear salad are just a few examples.

Risk with the entrées and get broad beans with chorizo ​​or something that you'll hardly make or experience close to home. The braised meagre with smoked tomato migas, the game patty accompanied with pine nut rice and the pintada (a smaller chicken the size of a partridge) are excellent examples of the alliance between typical regional food and the sophisticated presentation of this place. The typical partridge soup is perfect to warm up the coldest nights and the pork tenderloin with clam migas is a sophisticated and noble transformation of the typical pork of Alentejo. The flavors are amazing and the final feelings are of lightness and absolute satisfaction. Finish with an original pine nut pie, an intense bacon from heaven, a light custardor a typical sericata with Elvas plums. 

Ask the waiters for the best wines to complement your meal. With options of exclusively Portuguese names, and balance between the most famous Alentejo offers and the sweeter wines from the lands of Sado, you'll be sure to find the perfect complement to your meal. The service is extremely attentive and knowledgeable about everything you may want to taste, so it is worth asking for advice and suggestions.

Take your breakfast in the restaurant room during the winter and be sure to enjoy the cool shade of the cloisters in the summer.
