Herdade do Esporão Restaurant
Fine dining restaurant
👍👍 Our experience was simply unforgettable. The cellars were quite impressive. But the best part--you have to do this--was having lunch at their restaurant. What a wonderful tasting menu!

Aloendro
Restaurant
😠 We were in the area and were recommended this restaurant by a local. We arrived without a reservation which was not appreciated by the main waiter. When he spoke to us, even if in Portugese, he gave us the option of the 2 worst tables in the restaurant despite there being many other much better opti...
