Dine beneath beautiful vaulted-brick ceilings on delightful petiscos (tapas-style sharing plates), such as mushrooms stuffed with smoked wild-boar sausage or red wine–braised hare. The seven-course tapas tasting menu is great value. Mains span meat, seafood and vegetarian options, such as roast beetroot with Alentejo goat's cheese and almond-crusted sweet potato. All wines are Portuguese; service is warm and personable.
