Elvas, Portugal Restaurant

Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. Excellent experience!! A long-standing restaurant with memorabilia all over the walls. Very cozy - felt like home. They had some lovely Christmas music playing. Food was fresh and authentic Portuguese. The server was kind - he spoke very little English, but we were able to communicate in Spanish. I recommend! Great place, it's very real and owner cares about food and their guests. Local and regional food options. Very generous portions, fresh meat and vegetables with great service. What a lovely place to have a meal. Awesome and friendly service by Sr António. If you looking for truly traditional and homemade food in the town center, look no further, this is a great place to go and enjoy. Tasty food and nice service, the server (and owner?) was very accommodating to my food allergies to gluten, dairy, egg, and peanut. The menus outside were marked with allergens, which isn’t something I’ve seen very often in Portugal but was very much appreciated. I had had the “secrets of pork” and it was tasty! Went there with friends. High recommendations on google across the street and on the street behind (Luis Cobra and Dinis) did not have vegetarian dishes and were completely packed so we came here. Asked for the tasting described in the as including bread, pate, soup, main dish, desert and coffee. Said we did not want the pate, only ordered 2 soups instead of the 3 we could have. Ordered olive oil to have with the bread while we waited (nothing was mentioned and we were charged 2 euros at the end, no mention in for charges and no mentions verbally when ordered). Asked about the options included in the for us to choose from and got told one thing by the server and then a different thing by the owner when we tried to order (in fairness he allowed for the vegetarian dish to be part of the for our friend). When we asked about the desert the server told us there was no restriction while the owner told us it was only the egg pudding. Becoming quite unpleasant. Then corrected himself and said it was coffee or desert. We only ordered one desert so we could try it and one coffee. So we did not ask even for everything which was stated in the as included and already got a snide comment about people wanting more than what things are worth (note we ordered something listed in the menu). When we asked why we had a surcharge we were told the olive oil was extra (sneak charges are illegal in Portugal unless listed clearly in the so I will put a proper complaint as well given the rudeness of the behavior towards the end). Overall a restaurant which could be nice if it weren’t for the entitlement of the owner who tried to cheat us at every turn and blamed us for trying to get more than what is worth. We will not return, don’t worry so you can save the reply and we will file the complaint and will fill sorry for the employees when you inevitably tank. We know understand why the other restaurants were full and you were not. Best of luck We had an excellent traditional Portuguese meal here after a long travel day. The flat steaks were amazing…the cod was superb…and the vegetarian dish was also wonderful! The sangria was also a bit hit! Staff were excellent. Cozy and homey environment! Highly recommend if visiting Elvas 👍 Family restaurant with amazing food and service! For "girls" half plate it's enough considering that portions are big! Must visit! This place has been a big surprise from all perspectives. After 9 days visiting half of the Portugal here I found the best codfish (suggested the one with clams), but in reality all the food was good, the service very nice and the best is to see all the local people enjoying a dinner and for the whole time singing emotional Alentejo and Elvas songs and poetry with all tables cheering and becoming a single one. The last part can be something that happen not so frequently, but the rest is assured.
