The grilled fish was spot on, and prices are fair for the area. Simple spot, but the food does the job.

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

Came here twice in three days, that pretty much sums it up. The tapas and mains are solid, mostly seafood and meat stuff. Portions are decent for what you pay, didn&#39;t feel ripped off at all. Sat on the terrace once, nice vibe. Service was on point too. Honestly, surprised it hasn&#39;t caught more attention yet.

The food is good and the view is awesome. The lack of entree options outside of a pork dish is the only reason I&rsquo;m probably not over the moon about this place.

The staff actually remembered our order from last time &mdash; that never happens. Grilled sardines were spot on, salty and smoky. Place gets loud but worth it.

A very pleasant restaurant with great local dishes, excellent local wine and great service.  We really enjoyed our dinner there.

The bifana here is legit. Pork was juicy, soaked in that spicy sauce, bread held up without getting soggy. Had two because one wasn&#39;t enough. Skip the parking hassle in the old town, just walk in. Pastry shop but the savory stuff is where it&#39;s at.

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.

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.

Excellent menu and the quality of the food did not disappoint.  There appeared to be a problem getting our dinners out of the kitchen at the same time. The servers did not comment but handled the situation well.  Overall, a very nice dinner and we would go back if we were at Torre de Palma again.

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.

The grilled sardines were spot on. Charred outside, juicy inside, that smoky saltiness you want. Had them with the boiled potatoes and a simple salad. Portion was decent for the price. Nothing fancy about the place, but the fish tasted fresh and that&#39;s what mattered to me.

Solid grilled meat spot. Three portions fed five of us easily. Black pork ribs were the highlight. Prices fair, service on point.

The picanha was spot on, really tender and full of flavor. Sangria surprised me too, one of the better ones I&#39;ve had around here.

The homemade cakes and pastries are the real deal here&mdash;full of flavor and clearly made with care. The staff were friendly and the upstairs seating was a nice quiet spot to sit with a laptop and a pot of tea.

The buffet is back and honestly it&rsquo;s pretty good. I liked that the staff didn&rsquo;t hover but were there when you needed them. Also the place is easy to get around if you have trouble walking, which I appreciate. Just wish the seating area wasn&rsquo;t so close to the serving station, got a bit crowded at times. But overall a nice relaxed lunch.

Went for Sunday dinner and finally tried those tanguinhas everyone talks about &mdash; really good, crispy and salty just right. Ended with enxarcada, which was sweet but not too heavy. Staff were friendly, made us feel comfortable. Place was a bit busy but we didn&#39;t mind. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area.

The venison stew with chestnuts was really good, full of flavor. The place has that traditional vibe I like. Service dragged a bit, but the food made up for it.

Every year we make sure to visit this restaurant while traveling in Portugal.The food and staff are excellent.

Been coming here for a while now. Food&#39;s consistent and the price is right. Just don&#39;t expect fast service, it&#39;s a slow kind of place. Still my go-to spot though.

Stopped by for a late lunch and ordered the pork tenderloin with migas. Honestly, that dish alone made my day. The meat was juicy and the migas had this nice texture. Gazpacho was pretty solid too, fresh and cold. Room is tiny and nothing fancy, but you don&#39;t really care once the food arrives. Owner checked on us a couple times, super friendly.

Dropped by for a quick lunch. Food came out fast, which I appreciated. Got the tasting menu thing and honestly, the presentation was way better than I expected from a hotel spot. Plates looked almost too nice to eat. Flavors were solid, nothing crazy but decent. Bit pricey for what you get though. If you&#39;re nearby and want something quick, it works.

The bifana here hit the spot. Savory, garlicky, the bread soaked just right. Had one on the terrace with a cold beer, perfect for the heat. Place was busy but I got a seat quick. Wish the bun was a bit crustier though. Still, hit the spot.

The bifanas here are legit&mdash;house special, plenty of garlic and that spicy kick. Roast beef sandwich surprised me too, actually juicy. Grabbed a quick lunch, no fuss. Place gets busy around noon but worth squeezing in. Just wish they&rsquo;d toast the bread a bit more. Solid stop if you&rsquo;re in the area.

Great spot for a quick bite. Grilled meats were solid and the local red wine hit the spot. Price was fair for what you get. Service was fast too.

The view from this place is unreal, tucked right into the mountains. Had the regional pork dish&mdash;simple but cooked right. Portions are on the smaller side though. Coffee was solid.

The food was proper Alentejano comfort&mdash;hearty and full of flavor. Staff made us feel super welcome, like we were just hanging at a friend&#39;s place. Good spot to chill with the group.
