I am shocked that there are so many 4 & 5 ⭐️ reviews for this place. We did not think it was anywhere worthy of such rankings and we were sorry because Alentejo is our favorite region and cuisine. But for that reason, I simply cannot attribute top ranking to this gimmicky restaurant. Most of the energy is out into the decor and presentation but less into the actual quality and flavor of the food.

It's weird that one has to leave Lisbon in order experience this kind of restaurant.
The decor itself is very kitch and cosy. It has the feeling of a true house in Alentejo.

On the prince front, we payed 25€/person. Considering what we ate, not that expensive.
The overall experience is worth at least a visit...

Always good to visit, doses are well served and staff is very attentive, familiar. It also feels so specialized in everything that it becomes a mix between a franchise and a highly developed award winning fan favourite restaurant. I'm only knocking a star because it's not a restaurant to go everyday and traditional presentation could be improved sometimes (meat being served with lots of bones for example, they could streamline it a bit) and... Those songs from Alentejo playing in the background really could go into retirement, this is not the "house of alentejo" for old people to gather and sing. Also, some restaurants back in alentejo manage to topple it, bit of course that's a hit far away for a...
