Thanks to its privileged connections with the House of Bragança, Pousada Convento Vila Viçosa hosts an annual lunch for the Portuguese royal family. But here any untitled guest gets the same attention as the most illustrious royal heir. This Pousada's restaurant, which is located in the old canteen of the convent, features completely restored frescoes and the tables are set to properly welcome you in this regional embassy for local cuisine.

This hall overlooks the cloister, where you can dine or take part in a barbecue during the summer. In the winter it's better to stay by the fireplace and heat up with the fabulous tomato soup from our menu.

Be sure to try the "migas" and the bread soup, which constituted, along with the soups, the basic non-festive traditional diet in Alentejo. As main dishes, lamb on Easter Monday (traditionally eaten in the fields after Easter Sunday) and the golden cod, a recipe imported from Elvas and for which many people travel many miles nowadays.

The three-course snack meals may bring some surprises, from the famous roasted peppers to the typical "cabeça de Xára", from "peixinhos da horta" to cod and grain salads. It's worth letting yourself be surprised. The dessert tasting is also not to be missed, but if you feel that you can not handle it anymore, try the very original "manjar das chagas" ("delicacy of wounds"), a dessert that used to be made with the leftovers of the huntings in the royal park, in a way that you will only believe if you try it. The nuns made real miracles with the eggs and sugar.

Please note that the restaurant is closed until December. On closed days, please opt for the Bar where light meals will be served.
