Family cooking
Alice Marto opened the restaurant in 1988, aged 53, with her husband and children, after a lifetime of cooking for her family. Her nephews and nieces gave her the formula: cook the way she cooked for them. Today it is a house of traditional Portuguese cooking a few minutes' walk from the sanctuary, with a garden.
The menu
Among the starters, roast rice blood sausage (€12), bean and cabbage soup (€8) and Serra da Estrela cheeses. For fish, gratinated cod for two (€49), prawn or cod açorda (€29) and sea bass and monkfish rice. For meat, wood-oven roast veal and chanfana (€29) and duck rice for two (€49). The desserts are convent-style: bolo do convento, walnut tart with ovos moles, leite creme, egg pudding.
