Eating inside the walls
Sabores de Monsaraz is a small eatery on Largo de São Bartolomeu, inside the walled enclosure. It is run by Dona Isabel, who cooks home-style Alentejo dishes herself, and the dining room looks out over Lake Alqueva. It is open for lunch from Wednesday to Sunday, from 12:30 to 15:30, and for dinner from Tuesday to Sunday. On Monday it is closed all day.
What to order
The menu is short and Alentejan. To start, regional cheese, Iberian pork paio or scrambled eggs with farinheira. For mains, roast lamb the house way, cod prepared several ways, migas gatas with cod and coriander, and cuts of Iberian pork: loin with esparregado, medallions or grilled plumas. The PDF menu on their website is undated, so confirm prices at the table.
