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 beef was decent &mdash; cooked properly and pretty tender. Staff were friendly enough, and the place had a relaxed vibe. Had a quiet dinner there and it worked fine for what I wanted. Nothing fancy, but I&rsquo;d probably go back if I&rsquo;m in the area again.

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

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

Good food, but kind of loudly ambience&hellip; Best restaurant in El Faro

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.

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

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

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.

Wow! From the moment we entered we knew we were in for a special evening. The place itself is just amazing! Great art, great music, everywhere you look there is something unusual to catch the eye.The food choice/menu was very good and our waiter, Vasco, explained how the sharing concept worked. We also shared a recommended wine flight to compliment each course. We loved the food! Each course was a pleasure to eat. Portions were plentiful. Service was very good.Thoroughly recommend a visit.Thank you HF

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.

Generous portions for the price, that&#39;s for sure. The grilled fish was fresh and the veggies weren&#39;t soggy. Service was fine, nothing fancy.

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.

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.

The bacalhau dourado was solid&mdash;flaky, savory, and a big portion. Place was busy, had that local vibe. Got my food quick enough for a lunch stop.

The food and ambiance were fantastic. The waiter was very knowledgeable about the wines and the food they were serving. I highly recommend this restaurant. I will be back there again!

The staff were lovely and the place feels cozy. Had the Alentejo pork&mdash;so flavorful, honestly the best I&#39;ve tried. Chocolate mousse was a nice finish too.

Came on a local&#39;s tip. Black pork secreto was the standout &mdash; proper flavor. Service drags when it&#39;s packed, so don&#39;t be in a rush. Solid spot overall.

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.

The cod &agrave; Z&eacute; do Pipo was really good, and the portions are generous. The dining room is lively, maybe a bit noisy, but the service was friendly and made it easy to relax.

The owner was so welcoming and the roast lamb came out perfectly cooked. Really happy we stopped here in Vila Vi&ccedil;osa!

The pork face dish really stood out &mdash; simple, honest cooking, proper Portuguese flavors. Prices fair for what you get.

The plumas were cooked just right, really tender. Had the house red from Borba with the cheese starter and it worked well together. Portions felt fair for what you pay. Place was busy but we got a table without waiting too long. Staff left us alone until we needed them, which I appreciated. Solid spot for traditional food.

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.

Stopped by for a quick dinner, ordered the grilled fish and a side of prawns. Seafood tasted really fresh, not frozen at all. Portions were big, honestly couldn&#39;t finish everything. Service was fast, the guy even helped me pack the leftovers. Place got a bit noisy later but whatever. Solid spot if you&#39;re around. 🐟

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