Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Perched on a mountaintop in the Alentejo region of Portugal, Monsaraz Castle offers visitors a glimpse into the past with its 14th-century construction. The castle boasts panoramic views of the surrounding valley, including Lake Alqueva and the picturesque Alentejo countryside dotted with olive groves and vineyards.
I was expecting something good, but it was unexpectedly superb! Amazing views from all the Alentejo Valle, a cozy historical village and a surprisingly well preserved castle in between. Not to mention the delicious traditional Portuguese food and drink and their unmatched hospitality. Definitely coming back for more.

Visited end of May, still very quiet. The church and the chapel (opposite the church) are beautiful. Great views of the Alentejo and the Alqueva reservoir.
Lovely old castle well worth the visit. Kept in it's original form so narrow steps and walkways. Not covered in safety barriers so you explore at your own risk.
Beautiful village too with little cafes and gift shops.
This castle is really worth a visit.
Great lake views, interesting history and architecture. Nearby, a beautiful street with cafés and shops selling local products.
Beautiful castle with a great church inside. Nice pottery shop inside. Free camper parking super close.
A must see. A beautiful small village nestled inside a castle wall. Once you walk to the tower and climb the metal stairs it is amazing to see
Beautiful castle. Like old town Evora without the masses of tourists. Every nook and cranny was interesting to see. Think of this as a museum not a city, very few shops/ places to eat.
A beautiful small town of whitewashed houses and cobbled streets on the top of a hill with great views over the surrounding countryside.

Restaurant
Sabores de Monsaraz is a charming restaurant located in the picturesque village of Monsaraz, nestled in the heartland of Alentejo, Portugal. The restaurant offers a no-frills dining experience with a focus on pork dishes, particularly porco preto from black pigs fed on acorns. Visitors can enjoy incredible views while savoring the tender and flavorful Porco Preto, as well as other daily dishes cooked to perfection.
Stepping into the grandmother's restaurant with amazing views of the valley below, you know you came to the right place for a good meal in an authentic Portuguese environment.
We all wanted pork cheeks and were served family style of the best pork cheeks I've had in the Iberian countries. The rice was also the best with herbs and crunchy nuts. We told them we only had 40 minutes to eat and they were happy to serve us quickly.

We arrived about 1pm without a reservation. The door was closed so we turned to leave only to have the door opened with a lovely welcome by Isabel herself. We had a simply amazing experience here - the view is spectacular, the food is the best we have eaten since living in Portugal for four months. The Porco Preto was so tender and flavorful. There is no menu just two daily dishes cooked to perfection. Select your wine and desert in the kitchen. We were lucky to visit in the off season without a reservation. Walk off lunch with a wander around the beautiful Monsarez. Cash only establishment, there is a Multibanco in town. Muito obrigada Isabel 😊
We had booked for lunch for 4 adults and 4 small kids. The place really is in a spectacular location, food was excellent, the owner more or less decides what you are going to eat but she is right,the kids loved the bacalhau and for us migas de bacalhau and bochecas de porco were really well cooked. This restaurant is worth a visit if you are in the area but I advise reservation. Good selection of regional wines and desserts are good but too much after all this food 😀
It's the latter part of my trip in December 2018. When I first visited, I was full of people, and when I went into the store to see if I could wait, both of my grandmothers didn't even say hello or care, and I was at a loss what to do. When I left the store, a customer came out and told me that they couldn't speak English, so I was told to wait for a while as his meal was over. After that, the guests didn't talk to us for a few more minutes, so they said they were good and delicious. I barely sat down and ordered a menu order with a photo from Google. Because English is not working, I only communicated with body language and another customer who speaks Portuguese helped me when I ordered wine. Many later reviews say the service is bad, but we know what it's like from that experience, but she was kind when we sat down. And thank you for coming forward and helping out like my job. Thanks to them, we had a delicious meal. It's really memorable.
I really enjoyed the dinner here. Yes, the service was a little gruff but that is something I experienced quite often and it did not deter us from having a good time. The food was very good and portions are huge. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
Dona Isabel manages the whole thing and we were received almost like family. The food was delicious. We never got to see the menu but portions are around 15€.
Authentic Portuguese restaurant run by two sisters. The food was delicious and served promptly with warmth and kindness. I made a booking on their website using the form the day before our visit and received a reply within hours.
Before we had sat at our table there were a few dishes of starters on it; mozzarella salad, cheese, olives and bread, and black sausage slices. As per usual Portuguese restaurants these are not complimentary so we chose the bread and olives and the mozzarella salad. A lovely cold bottle of white wine was served within minutes too.
The menu was simple with just two options of meat (lamb with potatoes and pork with onions) and a couple of codfish choices. We chose one portion of the pork with onions and rice to share between my husband and I. The rice was special with coriander and nuts and garlic oil. So tasty. My husband and I don't generally eat large portions so to share one between us was plenty.
The cakes and desserts were homemade too and delicious.
A lovely meal and restaurant. Highly recommended!
The host Isabel who is also the cook did a fantastic job of introducing us to altenjo cuisine. The black pork cheeks and the lamb dishes we were served were one of the most succulent meat dishes we’ve ever tasted. Set in small house on top of a hill in the fortified village of monzaraz made the experience all the more authentic. The desserts we were served were mouth watering too. Served with some regional wine, the whole meal was taken to another Gastronomic level.

Restaurant
Taverna Os Templários is a charming restaurant in Monsaraz, Portugal, offering stunning views of the lake. The place is known for its tender roast lamb and attentive service. Visitors can enjoy a peaceful atmosphere and a lovely terrace with wonderful scenery. Additionally, Sabores de Monsaraz also provides great views, while Barrocal at the Sao Lourenco do Barrocal hotel offers fantastic meals just outside of town in the countryside.
Stellar views and wonderful food.
Seems to get very busy so recommend booking in advance. If you want to take chances like we did you can join a wait-list on the day (we were lucky to get a terrace table after about a 45 min wait but I'm not sure that would happen every day)
Karl H — Google review
The food is amazing. Had a Sopa de Cação that was very tasty and well made. The restaurant offers a balcony with a beautiful view as far as the eye can see. Greatly recommend having lunch here and then visit the castle where the restaurant is located. I also found the staff friendly.
One of the best restaurants in Monsaraz, service is awesome from Ricardo.good atmosphere with nice view . highly recommended
Our server was fantastic and the food was delicious. The view of the lake is incredible!
We loved this place. There were seven of us on a bike trip and we were in Monsaraz for two nights. It has an outdoor patio with a spectacular view, food to match the view, and an excellent wait staff. We went back the next day for lunch and our experience was just as good. We would have eaten there a second night but our bike company had us booked at another place. If you are in Monsaraz, do yourself a favor - make a reservation. We spent 22 days in Portugal - this was one of our favorite restaurants.
OMG! The view from this medieval fortress to Spain across the water is so breathtaking you could eat an overdone hot dog on a dessicated bum and not complain. But the food is every bit as good as the view, including the best lamb ever and a delightful "salad of the land," accompanied by a smooth, full-bodied Monsaraz Reserve vino tinto. Sublime!
Best meal with a view! Food was a bit pricey here and took a bit long to come out but it was delicious and very generous portions. One portion was enough for two people. The view is unmatched to any other restaurant. Highly recommended the cod fish here.
We visited this beautiful restaurant on a busy Sunday afternoon. The views from the terrace are outstanding. Service was excellent, with friendly staff and head waiter who spoke excellent English.
Our food was of a high standard, with good wine. I enjoyed the Roast Lamb whilst my husband enjoyed the Pig Cheeks.
Thank you all for making our trip to Monsaraz so very special, would definitely recommend this superb restaurant.

Observatório do Lago Alqueva (OLA) is a must-visit destination for nature and astronomy enthusiasts.

The observatory provides an unforgettable stargazing experience free from light pollution, allowing guests to witness the Milky Way with their own eyes.
Really fun evening learning about stars and planets. Our guide was super knowledgeable and worked there part time, answered dozens of our questions, and ensured we had an amazing time.
Jason V — Google review
We booked both Sun and Star observation sessions, which were instructed by Fred. His guided sessions were both informative and his sense of humor added to the enjoyment. Thanks for a fantastic experience, especially the sun gazing which was a first. We learned a lot and can definitely recommend doing both the Sun and Star observations while visiting Monsaraz.
We booked the Meteor shower visit. The explanations were interesting and engaging, but honestly there are much better places to see the stars in Alentejo. There was too much light pollution around the Observatory, and i have seen many more falling stars elsewhere.
Me and my wife had an amazing time stargazing and being taught and guided through it all with Fred. Very friendly, explicative and a one of kind experience. Super recommend!
110% recomondation! We saw Saturn 🪐 so close and all the different galaxies. Great tour and great explanation! We felt on a space trip!
We booked the one and a half hour stargazing introduction. Fred our English speaking guide did a fantastic talk and showed us views of star clusters, planets and nebula through a large telescope. He answered many questions and was entertaining throughout. The views of Saturn and Jupiter were spectacular. Would recommend for anyone with an interest in the night sky as a beginner or keen amateur.
We enjoyed a very informative session with Fred and we learned so much about the stars and planets within our solar system. The facility is very good and the sky spectacular. Well worth booking a session and very reasonably priced.
The guide Jon was amazing. He shared a lot of interesting facts about constellations and important stars and their meanings. Although it was a slightly cloudy night we got an amazing photo of the moon through the telescope. Thanks for the amazing experience!

Restaurant
Lumumba is one of the top dining establishments in Monsaraz, offering a delightful selection of Alentejo cuisine. The restaurant is known for its meat-heavy dishes, making it less ideal for vegetarians. A popular choice at Lumumba is the Bacalhau bras with salad, which not only tastes great but also comes at an affordable price compared to other places in Portugal. For dessert, patrons can indulge in the delicious pudin flan.
One of the best restaurants we regularly go to.
Excellent traditional food, not mainstream stuff.
Served by the coolest, funniest personnel.
Breathtaking view.
Going out for a meal doesn't get any better, unless you are a shrinking violet, in which case the coolness of the place might be too much for you.
6 stars.

Best soup I have had in two years in Portugal! Authentic home-cooked Portuguese and Alentejano dishes with a very local atmosphere and such reasonable prices. We four vegetarians were treated so kindly by the waiter who assembled a lovely tomato salad and served us eggs at no charge because he was out of the baked cod. A family run place that made us feel like family!
Down to earth basic food but absolutely delicious. The lamb stew and spear ribs was awesome. It’s simple but nice and cheap! Definitely worth the experience
And a beautiful view if you can sit on the terrace!
Recommended by the reception of the hotel, this place was little more than a hole in the wall with the usual modest furnishings of any old tasca, and very reasonable prices to match. But if you walk through all the way to the terrace, you would see a 180-degree panoramic view of the surrounding countryside and Alqueva from the heights of the castle of Monsaraz. The service was perfunctory from the good natured yet terse host, who presented the food and beverage with a silent flourish. He only broke the silence for a low aside about the couple next to us, who he said 'ate almost as fast as they left'. A slower pace of life is preferred in Alentejo.
We ordered the roasted lamb with potatoes, with a generous accent of black pepper and coriander, which always takes on a much earthier tone when cooked. It was delightfully tender, fell off the bone, and utterly delicious. The local Monsaraz vinho tinto was a good match. (Unfortunately, the dish I had been wanting to order, carne de porco alentejano, was not available today, being Sunday when it was probably hard to get fresh clams. Respect).
Dessert was pudim for me (exotic!) and vienetta for my wife (exotic, but in a different way). The relaxed vibe (and the wine) had the clientele relaxed and chatty, making small talk from table to table and getting up periodically to check out that view. What a pleasant find! Recommended by me!
We had the Bacalhau bras with salad, which was really good, abundant and cheap if you compare it with other places in Portugal.
For dessert, we had the pudin flan. It was amazing!
Excellent service, with a local atmosphere. We loved the place!
Excellent tasty regional food with a view, if you're lucky to get an available table at the balcony. Friendly staff.
Great terrace with an extraordinary views. Very inexpensive and good.

Michael A — Google review
A shame that this lovely coffee place is in the hands of a very unpleasant "lady" who treats customers as if they were a burden. Unbelievable!
Lovely little place right by the free castle. €1 for a coffee and nice clean WC.
Don’t bother going there. They treat the clients as if they are doing them a favour.
A ridiculous place which doesn’t even bother to serve its clientele during low season. We were alongside another couple waiting outside for ages. A Portuguese couple informed the servers we were there and they only opened the door two times only to shut it in our faces.
Stopped in for lunch here. The food was ok but the service was terrible. I was surprised the waitress didn't break the glass table top when she threw down our glasses and cans of sprite.
Excellent toasted sandwich and coffee. Cosy place with a terrace too
(Translated by Google) People were unhappy about working, and with only four customers, they didn't even bother to bring the coffees, saying, "The coffees are getting cold." I asked if the ATM worked, and they said yes, but when I went to pay, it didn't. I asked for a tax invoice, and after waiting 5 minutes, I had to give up because "they couldn't do it." The products on display were of poor quality, yet the prices were highly inflated and disproportionate. Definitely not to be repeated, and I don't recommend it.
(Original)
Pessoas infelizes por estarem a trabalhar, em que estando somente 4 clientes nem se dignaram a vir trazer os cafés, dizendo “os cafés estão a arrefecer”. Questionei se multibanco funcionava, disseram que sim, quando fui pagar não funcionava. Pedi fatura com contribuinte e após 5min à espera tive de desistir pois “não estavam a conseguir”. Produtos expostos sem qualidade, no entanto com preços altamente inflacionados, e desproporcionais. De certeza a não repetir , não recomendo

Xarez is one of the best restaurants in Monsaraz, offering a meat-heavy Alentejo cuisine that may not be very vegetarian-friendly. The restaurant is known for its outdoor terrace overlooking the plain and is led by Salvador Finished. Visitors can enjoy delicious bread, olives, sheep's cheese, gazpacho soup, and refreshing salads. The menu features limited but perfect options such as octopus and stone steak. Guests recommend timing reservations for sunset to fully enjoy the experience.
Yes the views are spectacular but that’s not the only attraction of this amazingly located restaurante. Really friendly and welcoming manager and staff who gave us great advice on food and wine. And yes, the food was very tasty; we had goats cheese, tomato soup, black pork and bochechas. The Monte da Bonança wine was fantastic too.
Andrew S — Google review
Small little restaurant at Monsaraz, with nice view. The prawn is the best. Like their local dessert sericaia as well. The flavourful tomato soup just made the cold spring more bearable..
Stunning views from this quaint restaurant, perfect for local cuisine and a light lunch after visiting the castle and seeing the Medieval town. I was with a tour group, so we had a limited tasting of the menu but homemade bread and local cheeses with fresh olives hit the spot. A beautiful view of the countryside.
Really nice place, the food is from the region so it’s simply amazing, they were playing Dire Straits and Eagles so good taste in music, and the view of Alentejo is just beautiful
The view is spectacular and the food good. Monsaraz is a little village on top of a rock overviewing a beautiful lake. I have been here 14 year ago and this place is so worth a visit. I ordered the pork. While in Alentejo stick with it. My hubby ordered fish and was not as luck as me.
Beautiful place to watch the sunset. Wine and food were excellent, but the real catch here is the amazing tranquility and view. Definitely recommended!
The best view ever. I loved the view and restaurant as well. We came just to have drinks in a very hot day but then decided to have the food which was absolutely delicious and fresh to my mind.
I had Pluma Iberica which was fabulous even it was very simple.
The portions of the food are very good.
After visiting the castle we stopped at restaurant Xarez for a light meal and luckily they had table for us. We sat outside with an amazing view in a sunny winter day. The staff were very friendly and the food great. We had the tomato soup and our son a portuguese bread toast….sorry no time for pictures 😅😋
The restaurant isn’t big therefore I would recommend booking in advance if going for dinner.

Fantastic lake beach, with all facilities. Water is warm and clean, and is Blue flagged. Quiet place
Amazing place to have fun and take some sun
A hidden gem, when we visited there were very few people there, a beautiful sandy beach, good facilities for families or those without children, boat trips, kayaks, SUPS and other activities. Huge expanse of water, with a longer coastline than Portugal has to the sea. Coupled with beautiful and historic surroundings with fortified villages, towns and castles - definitely worth a visit
Very clean, the lifeguards were amazing. In order to get a good place I would recommend getting there early. Water is warm and clean, and the kids loved seeing the little fish swimming around.
Great place on the side of the reservoir
Off Season a surprise and super nice, relaxing environment, good infrastructure in a nice surrounding. Worth a trip!
Beautiful beach with restaurant and plenty of water activities, as well as a docking area

Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Xerez Megalithic Enclosure is a fascinating historical site with a square stone circle and a center stone adorned with intriguing markings. Despite the lack of on-site information, the powerful yet tranquil atmosphere makes it worth visiting. The enclosure's relocation due to dam construction adds to its mystique, and while its history and religious significance remain unknown, it remains an interesting must-see destination for those intrigued by ancient mysteries.
Although the stones are not in their original home, having been moved when the local dam was built they are still powerful and yet quiet. It's a cool place.

Nice peep into ancient times. Does not have information about its purpose etc. Since so many reviewers have included photos already (and practically the only ones you can take) I attach some around these stones. There is a big Orada convent close by and a walk from there to this place provides a nice country side quiet refreshment.
Went there late at night and you could see the Milky Way perfectly. Really magical place. It's completely free.
Sweet stones in a circle … ⭕️ not so big, though cute and magnificent.
Free and open 24/7. Great place for star watching.
Fantastic. Out of the way and we'll worth visiting
Interesting site. No explanations.
The energy of the higher stone can be felt.
I just wouldn't bother, reconstruction not accurate. Only unless on the way to the viewpoint.

Castelo de Mourão is a free-to-enter castle with parking just outside the main gate. Situated on a hilltop in picturesque countryside, the intact outer walls offer stunning views of the surrounding landscape. While there are few buildings inside and climbing on the walls is prohibited, visitors can appreciate the castle's former glory and enjoy a 360-degree vision from within its walls. Despite signs of age, the breathtaking scenery makes it worth a visit.
An unforgettable sunset over Alqueva.
Be aware that the castle needs urgent restoration.
Joana D — Google review
Although the outer walls and the entrance are in good condition, the rest of the castle is not. In fact, it is very deteriorated, and many areas (such as the towers, for example) are very dirty. Despite all this, the castle has a natural beauty that captivates visitors, and the surrounding landscapes are equally beautiful. I only regret the lack of care from those responsible for the castle. It is free to visit the castle. There is plenty of parking space next to it.
Nice and calm. on Sundays you'll hear vibrant hymns being played across the area... Large carpark, access pretty good but a large wide motorhome might be a challenge
This castle is really gorgeous and you can see the beautiful landscape through it, but unfortunately it’s very degraded and abandoned which doesn’t make it less worthy to visit. The main problem is that there are some safety issues, for example, on the staircase, that I didn’t use, because some of the stairs were starting to fall apart, so I wasn’t able to see the top part of the castle and some of the views.
Beautiful place. Be careful to not fall from the edge of the wall ... There are a few places that are closed with tape because of the instability of the structure. You can see the whole Alqueva and take beautiful photos from the top. Unfortunately the church was closed so we couldn't visit .
The castle is free to enter and has parking just outside the main gate.
It's a bit out of the way but you can see it on the hilltop for quite a distance and it is in very pretty countryside.
The outer walls are intact and that's pretty much all there is. There are almost no buildings inside and you can't climb on the walls. There is no information other than a plaque by the church built into the walls. Good views though as you walk around.
When you enter here you can only imagine the glory of when it was in it's golden age. Beautiful space but sadly the signs of age are well noticed and their deserved so much more care and investment.
None the less the landscape all around it's breathtaking and you can walk in the walls to have a 360 degree vision.
It certainly deserves your visit.
Beautiful place to look back over the Alqueva and over to Monsaraz. There's a tourism into totem that allows you to get your bearings amd read up on the local context. Mourao itself is unremarkable compared to other local towns but don't pass the castle by

Tapas bar
Centro Náutico de Monsaraz, a tapas bar with an intriguing name "lagartinhos de porco preto," offers deliciously tender grilled pork fillets, complemented by a mouthwatering marinade. This delightful dish is served alongside slim fries and a tangy fresh salad, accompanied by great fresh bread and butter. Patrons can enjoy this culinary experience while overlooking the serene waters of Praia Fluvial de Monsaraz.
Definitely an underrated restaurant. The food was delicious and the service fast. We went there twice and on the second there were a sunset party on the beach, staff was under a lot of pressure but still the food arrived fast and tasty.

I got the intriguingly named "lagartinhos de porco preto" (little lizards of pork) - deliciously tender grilled pork fillets, mouthwatering marinade, slim fries and a tangy fresh salad. Served with great fresh bread and butter. Washed down with a massive glass of local alentejo vinho branco for only €2. Overlooking the calm waters of the Praia Fluvial de Monsaraz. Everything was fantastic - they only lose a star for charging a euro per butter portion, another pet peeve of mine!
We had an excellent dinner starting the freshest oysters followed by mozambican shrimps a la guilho and ‘choco frito’
A real pleasure next to the water of Alqueva
Nope, don't come here! We ended up taking the risk because we wanted to stay some more time in the beach, but I feel robbed. We had the meat and vegetarian hamburger, but prices were very expensive and the food was bad. It honestly takes effort to have food this bad in this region. Staff not friendly either, it seems like they were making a favour to serve us. Not coming back!
Unspoilt natural environment, lovely clear water for swimming & sailing, , good facilities ie showers, toilets, bar, restaurant. Clean & tidy. Safe swimming areas, playground for children & kayak hire
. Good for families & plenty of quiet walking, swimming & bird watching away from other people also.
Super little coffee bar. Very helpful English speaking owner.
Excellent food (try the octopus - amazing!) and service.
Nice view of the beach and easy to reach to with nearby parking.
The staff was very friendly, helpful and observant. You didn't have to wait at all to get their attention. Very professional!
They made you feel like you were a guest and not just another customer!
Nice place but can be very crowded. Ideal with children: beach! Large parking.
Shower, toilets available.
Rental of boats and water bikes.
The small cafetaria is an other story all together. Staff is not very customer friendly.
You can't order drinks only on the terrace but have to do this inside. They bring your drinks to the terrace though...
Not allowed to use the toilet even when you are a customer.
For Portugal rather expensive place.

Natasha B — Google review
Lovely restaurant in an old chapel / hospital. Super terrace with amazing views. Great food and service. Highly recommended.
We enjoyed a lovely dinner at Sahida. Set in a 15th century building at the top of the quaint village of Monsaraz, this restaurant has friendly staff, delicious local cuisine and stunning scenery. We dined on the upstairs covered terrace which boasts mesmerizing views of the Monsaraz rooftops, Lake Alqueva and the surrounding Portuguese and Spanish countryside. They also have an indoor dining space adorned with decor, antiques and art that date back centuries. If you are visiting the Alentejo, don’t miss this gem of a restaurant. The owner, João, and his team create a memorable experience for guests. Obrigada!
This restaurant is one of the finest. It's located within the fortified town of Monsaraz. The views are spectacular. The food is absolutely delicious. The service was great. Prices are reasonable for the exquisite beauty around you. We had the Pate, Bread, Bacalhau á Brás, Novilho Estufado, and Beer. Highly recommend!
Like a hidden gem with a small courtyard in the back which is very beautiful in the evening. We had the vegetarian dish and starters and it was all very tasty. The service is great, very attentive and the atmosphere charming.
Definitely recommend a visit when you’re in Montaraz
A lovely venue for a meal, especially on the terrace when the weather permits, to enjoy the wonderful view. The food was very tasty traditional cuisine presented beautifully. Highly recommend.
Absolutely beautiful little place. It’s got a very cozy feeling inside. We just needed some coffee and hot chocolate and a warm space to sit for a few minutes and they were very accommodating and kind. I’d love to come here again and try the menu. It looks delicious.
Great food, the view from the balcony it’s unbeatable, unforgettable and mesmerizing. We got a full moon night dinner, and will never forget it. Great service, everyone was very welcoming and helpful.

Proximity is everything
For day 3, we bundled attractions like Sem-Fim and Menir da Bulhoa and other places within a close range, so that the time it takes to travel between all of them is less than one hour. Combined with the average time people spend there, your day should take about 7 hours.

Restaurante SEM-FIM is a charming restaurant located in Monsaraz, housed in a former olive mill with an attached art gallery. The ambiance is beautiful and unique, featuring old machines and different levels. The food is fresh and delicious, with recommended dishes including bacalhau d'azeite alhado, arroz de Pato, caldo Verde, creme de legumes, and migas doces for dessert.
The setting is a former olive press, so it's interesting and charming, with a wonderful pastoral view from one side. Service and food were great. The menu changes daily and is limited, e.g. four entrees to choose from the day we were there. We had the black pork on skewers, the pork cheeks, and the octopus, all delicious. The chocolate mousse was exceptional and generous enough to share. The local wine they serve is excellent. I bought four bottles on my way home. Highly recommended.

Interesting place in old olive factory, amazing food, pulpo the best i have ever ate, great tomato soup, fresh ingredients and great white Sangria! 🩷💚 maybe pork was a bit too hard, but in general wonderful experience with Portugeese cusine with great localisation
Beautiful restaurant that adapted an old production site with tables both inside and outside but recommend staying inside for the scenery. The food is fantastic with a menu changing daily but always with great options. The tomato soup is fantastic and the bull stew was outstanding. The staff is efficient and nice. Reservations are recommended and credit card payments are possible.
While there was a limited choice on the menu, each of the dishes were full of flavour with generous portions. The staff were very attentive and courteous. The atmosphere was reminiscent of days gone by in the olive pressing warehouse. Table decor was colourful and felt very relaxing for a long lunch.
Excellent food! We had the black pig and grilled pork which was excellent. The restaurant shares the venue with an art gallery, which you can visit at the same time. They could not make baby/toddler-friendly food but allowed us to serve our own food for our child (note that they have dishes for larger children on the menu).
Beautiful location, great service and friendly staff. The food was good but could do with a little more variety, particularly on the vegetarian front (mostly veggie burgers available). But overall a fantastic evening.
I'll start with the tomato soup because it was great. How it was brought out, not so much. When I order something at a restaurant, I like to get exactly what I ordered and how I ordered it. 2 soups were ordered and one bowl with 2 doses was brought out. 2 meat platters were ordered and one platter with 2 doses was brought out. If that's how you usually do it then ask if it's ok. Not ok with me.
The outside seating area was nice but too many cobwebs and way too many bugs.
Try to get a seat inside and definitely try the tomato soup. Separate bowls, please.
The food was good and tasty but unfortunately my service's expirience was horrible. After finishing the warm dishes, we had to wait for almost 50min. to get the deserts. All of this after several attempts to request the deserts. The waiters were pointing the responsibility for the table to the next one in a round. I end up being very disappointed with them especially because I was there with my 2 kids (6 and 8 years old respectively), and this situation not only stressed us directly as it led my youngster to get injured - after waiting so long he was trying to climb a stage next to our table as distraction and ended up bleeding. In parallel with all of this, I noticed the waiters were giving way more attention to foreigners... probably looking for a better tip... on my view this is also unfair and very disgusting as they make distinction between costumers - sort of a xenophobic attitude.

Points of Interest & Landmarks
Nestled between the charming villages of Outeiro and Telheiro, the Menir da Bulhoa is a captivating Neolithic monument that dates back to an impressive 4000-2500 BCE. Rediscovered in 1970 after lying flat for years, this ancient megalith has been restored to its original form, though its fracture remains a testament to its storied past. During my bicycle tour of Portugal in November 2017, I was enchanted by this beautiful site.
Beautiful Menir... but be careful... it has magic properties! I was lucky to come away with my clothes still on!!
Man F — Google review
The menhir is thought to date back to between 4000 and 2500 BCE. Overlooked for a long time, it was identified in 1970. At that time it was lying flat on the ground, with the upper part separated from its base, which had been used in a nearby grape press. It was restored to its original shape soon after discovery, with the fracture remaining very noticeable.[1][3]
It is situated on the road between the villages of Outeiro and Telheiro, on a flat area at the base of Monsaraz hill. The menhir is part of a megalithic nucleus that includes the menhirs of Monte da Ribeira and Outeiro and the Xerez Cromlech. It has a phallic appearance, being about four meters high and one meter in diameter. The stone is decorated with engravings depicting the sun's rays, a staff, and wavy and zigzagging lines. However, the fact that it lay on the ground for so long has contributed to the erosion of the carvings. It is not known whether the carvings date back to the menhir's origins or were added subsequently, although the motifs are similar to others found from the neolithic and chalcolithic eras.[2][3][4][5][6] from Wikipedia
When visiting Monsaraz do go see this menhir.
There is info available in English on a panel next to the parking place.
Ancient fertility (?) stone with some concentric carvings on one side of the top half of the menhir. The bottom part is not original!
In May with flowers abundant it is even more special.
Parking place and menhir are accessible to wheelchairs. The path leading to the menhir is a little bit bumpy though.
Update May 2018: the info panel is no longer present.
Cemented together. Seems fake like a Chinese handbag. View of the castle distant and fleeting, but local wildlife friendly. Will never forgive my friend for wasting one hour of my life.
I visited this menir in November, 2017 while on my bicycle tour of Portugal. I am fascinated by these old Neolithic megaliths and this one does not disappoint.
Fair way out on a rough road, still it's good to see.
Just off road and worth a visit.
Well signposted and good parking.

Nestled in the heart of Monsaraz, the Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Lagoa, also known as the Parish Church of Monsaraz, is a stunning example of Renaissance architecture. Constructed in the 16th century atop the remnants of a Gothic church lost to the black plague, this beautiful edifice features characteristic schist walls that are whitewashed to reflect Alentejo's intense summer heat.
(Translated by Google) The Igreja Matriz de Nossa Senhora da Lagoa, located in the heart of Monsaraz, is a beautiful example of Alentejo religious architecture. Dating back to the 16th century, this church combines Gothic and Renaissance elements, creating an atmosphere of serenity and devotion. Its interior, although simple, is marked by the elegance of the main altar and the architectural details that reflect the history and faith of the local community. Furthermore, its central location makes it a landmark in the town, and it is impossible not to feel its presence when strolling through the streets of Monsaraz. A place of worship and contemplation, it is worth a visit for those who appreciate history, art and spirituality.

Além disso, a sua localização central torna-a um ponto de referência na vila, sendo impossível não sentir a sua presença ao passear pelas ruas de Monsaraz. Um local de culto e contemplação, que merece uma visita para quem aprecia história, arte e espiritualidade.

Visita muy recomendable.
(Translated by Google) Classicist church using abundant slate but also marble. In front a beautiful column carved in white marble. The interior draws attention for its almost neoclassicism, avoiding the Portuguese baroque and the typical blue tiles, although in the presbytery there are colored tiles. There is a large Nazarene carved in dark wood without polychrome, today its cross is broken. The façade of the temple is smooth, barely highlighted by vertical pilasters in the middle of the whiteness of the whitewashed walls except, on the outside, for the slate pilasters or the white marble pieces.
(Original)
Iglesia clasicista utilizando la abundante pizarra pero, asimismo, el mármol. Delante una bella columna labrada en mármol blanco. El interior llama la atención por un casi neoclasicismo huyendo del barroco portugués y los típicos azulejos azules, aunque en el presbiterio sí existen azulejos de colores. Existe un gran nazareno tallado en madera oscura sin policromar hoy rota su cruz. La Fachada del templo es lisa apenas realzada por pilastras verticales en medio de la blancura de las paredes enfoscadas en cal blancs salvo, exteriormente, las pilastra en pizarra o las piezas de mármol blanco.
(Translated by Google) This church was closed. Renovation work has been going on for several years.

Convento da Orada in Reguengos de Monsaraz is a former convent transformed into a luxury hotel. It's conveniently located near the Xerez cromlech and offers easy access to attractions like the Roman Bridge of Ribeira de Pega and Alqueva Lake Observatory. The hotel provides 23 guestrooms with a mix of historical ambiance and modern amenities.
This beautiful hotel is located in a renovated convent with lots of artwork, a small archeological museum, and charming spaces. The rooms were spacious, quiet, and comfortable, the bathroom large. It invites quiet contemplation in a retreat style setting. No TVs in the rooms, but there's a large TV in a common room. You must climb stairs unless there's an elevator hidden somewhere that I missed. The staff was friendly, helpful, and informative. Great breakfast. The restaurant wasn't open the day we stayed, but there were good choices nearby. It is situated in a small village but very near the old walled Castle Monsaraz, also a great place to explore.

Nice, interesting place.
Met the homeowner, but he wasn’t that friendly.
But all in all it’s good
This was a very interesting anta (dolmen) to visit. The capstone was monstrous. A do not miss seeing in the area.
Easy to get to but the place is really not looked after.
Easy access a nice megalithic site. Love the atmosphere in the olive grove.
Pretty, beautiful landscape but hard to find (you have one sign that tells you the general direction but you have nothing to say that you arrived to the place. I end up passing it without noticing). More signs would be useful.
The monument was used as toilet by some people. It does not smell bad tho.
Great historical site in beautiful surroundings.
Interesting place, stop if you can, you won't be disappointed.

This restaurant serves up generous portions of traditional Portuguese cuisine with a modern twist, making it perfect for sharing. The friendly staff adds to the warm atmosphere, ensuring a pleasant dining experience.
Found the existence of this restaurant by walking by the terrace and snelling the food. At first the empty (plastic) tables scared us a bit but very happy to have stayed because it’s a great place to eat the local kitchen. Portions are on the larger side and the waiter was really friendly!
Go for the chocomousse to share as dessert! 🤤

The empty room scared us. But the good feeling made us stay. And we were rewarded for our faith. Delicious local food. And great portions too.
A nice space with tasty food, worth the visit.
Had a wonderful dinner here. The portions are quite generous and the food is tasty! :) The staff was friendly and the restaurant has a terrace with a beautiful view although it was a bit chilly to eat outside.
Food is great, and quantities are huge! The terrace is really nice in the evening, one can actually see the sunset while having dinner. Staff super efficient and welcoming. Recommended!
Very nice restaurant with a comfortable traditional atmosphere. Dishes are typical with a slight contemporary touch. Prices of dishes are very moderate. Considerable are the size of the dishes, a plate serves easily for two, if you are not to hungry.
They advertise really good traditional dishes but only serve normal average dishes. The service not good, they are pushing you to choose what they want. Don't recommend.
Bad service, rude waiters and raw food. Not worth the price. Don't eat here unless you're starving. The view in the garden is lovely.

My spouse and I spontaneously visited Foral MDXII, where we indulged in a refreshing glass of wine during the afternoon. After perusing the menu, we decided to make a dinner reservation for later that evening. To our delight, Chef Joao Pedro introduced himself and kindly took our order in advance. Seated near the kitchen, we were treated to an array of delectable local dishes selected by the chef himself.
What a wonderful experience! For starters we had garlic prawns and mushrooms followed by the Chef’s suggestion, block pork, which was exquisite. Service was very friendly and attentive too. Highly recommended.

Foral MDXII in Monsaraz offers a dining experience that's hard to beat, especially with its breathtaking view of the old town on the hill. We started with olives and local cheese, both of which were amazing. For the main course, the Iberico pork cheek with wine sauce and potato crisps was super juicy and tender. The chunk of veal with crisps and coleslaw was equally impressive. The local red wines, both the light and strong varieties, were delicious and paired perfectly with our meal. We ended with a warm, amazing brownie that we shared. The staff were great and mostly very proficient in English, adding to the enjoyable experience (€60). Highly recommend Foral MDXII for a memorable meal in Monsaraz!
My husband and I were just driving by and stopped in for a glass of wine in the afternoon. We looked at the menu and decided to book dinner that night there. Then, the chef, Joao Pedro, came and asked us what we wanted to order so he could have it ready. We ended up sitting at the table next to the kitchen and he brought out several samplings of his favorite and local dishes. It was AMAZING! The experience and food was one of a kind. They have a very nice selection of wine as well. We felt like family when we were there.
Best service and food around! When you need to go the extra step… they were way ahead! We were a group with vegetarians and vegans… they had nothing on there menu and they prepared a special menu for us! The food was heavenly… absolutely perfect! Congratulations!
Too expensive for me. The food was average and the portions for the price is a bit too much. But the place and service is very good.
Food was great and the service was awesome, English was really good aswell! For tourists this is a good place to experience, they also do take away.
Delicious food! Best octopus we have ever eaten.
Very good food, the local wine is reasonably priced too.
Will be back!

100 Esquadria is a welcoming cafe/restaurant with incredibly friendly owners. While the pork dishes, such as beef alguidar and bitoque, may have been slightly dry, the real star of the show is their "house sweet." This delectable treat combines traditional candy with Maria biscuits, and adds a touch of egg candy without going overboard. It's an absolute delight!
Loved this place! Authentic Portuguese/Alentejo food (including massive portions and low prices) like one can't find in Lisbon anymore. The Migas com carne de porco were to die for; the cação was also great. Service was friendly and unfussy, the atmosphere very casual.
Mariana L — Google review
Great place, full of real locals, unlike the tourist traps in that area. Highly recommend
Easy to miss from the outside but so worth stopping in for lunch or dinner! Fantastic food, bright and spacious inside, very tidy and well set up for a casual dining experience. Incredibly friendly host and excellent Portuguese food and drinks
A very nice restaurant with good service and delicious dishes.
We went on a Monday, since many restaurants were closed.
Service was really slow, there was only the owner serving. But he’s a very nice, gentle person.
Food was ok.
Barriga de alguidar: ok, good. But isn’t this a bit like “pica-pau” ?
Migas com carne de porco: that was better.
Price is ok.
It’s not a place you make a trip to go. But you won’t be disappointed if you do go.
Ah, um Comenda Grande tinto, sugestão do dono, por 15 eur. Excelente!
Good quality food good,value,Good service..don't be put of from how it looks from the outside.(please bare in mind i found it one of the only places openafter 8pm near to where I was staying... really worth a try !!
Good local lamb stew, friendly owner, great desert (invention of his wife 33 years ago)

Keep it simple
For day 4, these 7 places should be enough to fill your day with something exciting to do in Monsaraz. Start the day with Menir do Outeiro and make your way through the city to get to Igreja de Santiago. This should take about 7 hours of your day.

Menir do Outeiro, located 6km north of Monsaraz, is a remarkable granite monument standing at an impressive height of 5.6m, making it one of the tallest megalithic structures ever found. Accessible via a dirt road suitable for non-4-wheel drive vehicles (except after heavy rains), this site is among the largest in the Iberian Peninsula.
Great prehistoric site.

Interesting rocks scattered across the country side.
Another wonderful menir to visit in the area of Monsaraz. I visited this menir in November, 2017 while on my bicycle tour of Portugal.
Accessible via a dirt road for non-4wheel drive cars as well (except after heavy rains). One of the largest of the Iberian peninsula.
terrific
One stone, rough dirt road to get there
A "nicely shaped" menhir in the middle of nowhere! :D
Worth going, if you considered it, you should go, if possible.

Telheiro
Nestled on a hillside beneath the historic town of Monsaraz, Telheiro is a charming village that offers an authentic glimpse into rural life. To reach this picturesque spot, visitors must take a taxi from the nearby harbor, winding up through scenic landscapes. Once there, you can enjoy delightful local cuisine at cozy eateries like the transformed olive-oil factory turned restaurant. The atmosphere is inviting, with shaded terraces adorned with pimento sprigs and swallows nesting nearby.

Scenic spot
View point Ermida de São Bento, located just outside the Monsaraz walls, offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding areas. Despite the chapel being in a state of disrepair, it's still worth including in your itinerary for its breathtaking vistas. From this hilltop location, visitors can admire the oldest human settlements in Southern Portugal and take in the strategic significance of Monsaraz due to its geographical position.
Stunning views atop a hill in the village of monzaraz. You can see the largest man made lake in the region. And in the distance. A bit of spain!

Located just outside of the Town Door of Monsaraz, it offers fabulous views over the surrounding areas. As one of the most oldest human settlements in Southern Portugal, this Hill Top Town Monsaraz is a popular tourist attraction. Due to its geographical location, Monsaraz has always had its strategic significance.

View out of the town to the north or onto the village gate to the south. Ruined building nearby, looks like a church.

Although I couldn't capture any pictures while we were dining, Casa Modesta is a restaurant in Monsaraz that deserves a fair and commendable review. The amount of food provided for our party of five was plentiful, and despite not finishing all the meals, the quality remained undeniably good. However, it's worth noting that the service might not be as speedy as expected due to the kitchen's capacity limitations.
Excellent service! Really recommend this place. The food was good and very cheap. Don’t go if your are expecting a very elaborated menu.
Sergio G — Google review
Nice and simple food in the city centre of Monsaraz.
Delicious hearty home-style cooking. I'm so glad we ignored the strangely low review score to give this a try. It's not fine dining, the name tells you that. It is really tasty traditional cuisine of generous proportions, with friendly service, in a simple, modest setting that will leave you feeling nicely full and glad you gave it a try. And you really should give it a try.
Stumbled on this little gem this afternoon while visiting Monsaraz. The owner was so nice as we didn’t have a booking but still gave us a table. The food was all local fabulous dishes and the house red was so nice too. Thank you for making our trip to Monsaraz so special.AND YES HE DOES TAKE VISA PAYMENTS !!
After a very rude experience with the templários restaurante, we stumbled upon this place. The owners are super friendly. The carne de porco à alentejana is to die for and the coffee flan has you beg for more. Reasonable prices and very good food. The owner could not be nicer! Great choice!
I didn't get any photos here because we were eating, but the restaurant deserves a solid and fair review. For what we got in terms of food for a party of 5, it was ample. We didn't all finish our meals.
The food is good if not quick coming out. Here, and in other parts of Portugal, the kitchens decide how much they can handle. This is one such place and there was at least one other restaurant in the Castelo that turned us away because they just didn't think they could have one more.
My rating of this restaurant does not factor in a view or whether or not they take credit card or other factors that don't really account for how remote this location. You're in a remote 12th century hilltop fort built at the very start of Portuguese kingdom.
The food is great
Excellent food, I really recommend the carne de porco Alentejano (Alentejo pork dish), this was absolutely tasty. And typical from this region. The owner makes all the deserts herself (we assume this is Modesta) and the chocolate mousse is to die for. Friendly staff as well. So 5 stars from us.

Nestled in the heart of the village, Taberna do Gato Preto is a charming eatery that captures the essence of traditional Alentejo cuisine. While it may be one of the few dining options available on a Wednesday night, it offers generous portions and a delightful array of regional dishes. Guests rave about the homey flavors and impeccable service, making every meal feel special. The ambiance reflects classic styles, though some visitors have noted occasional distractions from cigarette smoke.
This restaurant was recommended by our hotel and close by. We all thoroughly enjoyed our choices: bull tail, black pork cheeks, and cod, prepared two ways. Staff was friendly; easy street parking.
Barbara S — Google review
What an absolute surprise!! We were recommended other places in the town but they all looked a bit gimmicky or soulless. What a surprise when you're taken to the back and it's cute Moorish detail. But my word, the food is what surprised us. We are foodies from London, that now live in Portugal and a little 'over' Portuguese food. But this blew our mind. The veggie soup, orange salad were incredible. And the lamb, possibly the best lamb stew we've ever had. And so much for 15 euros. Stunning food. It proves we shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. Staff are super sweet too! Thank you Gato Preto!
Really wonderful experience! Service was perfect and the food was so delicious and homey. Very traditional dishes from the region and everything was just perfect. Highly recommend for an authentic delicious experience. Obrigada!
Typical Alentejo style restaurant. Food is absolutely delicious and very friendly and efficient service! Alentejo portions as well!
I will be back!
Very good food but plates are very big, we were full already after having main dishes but the waiter was so nice he still offered us a dessert in the end! You won’t leave this place without filling up your tummy 😋
You have to call to reserve a table. You call the whole day, no one picks up. You get there, there’s no table because you need to call to get a table.Avoid.
Borrego with mint and boiled potatoes and bread to suck up those juices- sublime
Brilliant service, spotless and very quaffable house red
Delicious food. Nice space. 100% recommend.

Nestled in the heart of a charming village, "O Convívio" is a delightful local restaurant that embodies the essence of Alentejo cuisine. With its rustic charm and warm atmosphere, this eatery welcomes you like an old friend from the moment you step inside. The menu features traditional dishes that are bursting with flavor, such as migas and tender pork neck cachaco, all expertly prepared by Mr. Joaquim, whose friendly demeanor adds to the inviting experience.
Very good local restaurant that makes you feel at home. It took some time to get around the menu but we managed it with internet so all good! And diner was delicious, along with a great wine selection. Highly recommended it for any person coming to visit Monsaraz and its surroundings. Of course it's not a fancy highly touristic place...but that's the point: you're in a local authentic village that serves authentic Alentejo and Portuguese food. All what you can expect from locals. After all, as travellers you are here to try out, taste and discover local traditions. And you are in the right place for all of this. Thank you !

Great Portuguese small town traditional food and service. Perfect place for a beer before dinner time and then stay for dinner 😊
Pork cheeks were as good as the smell that got my imagination going!! My husband’s pork Alentejo was delicious too. The wine recommendation paired beautifully with our meal, can’t say enough how good everything was. Then we ventured to have cheremboya( not sure spelling is correct) with ameixas de elvas… now that was something that we had never had and were so glad we did🥰
Love the place, can you tell!!
Friendly staff with great suggestions, the traditional food was amazing
Small restaurant with local food. We tried the daily dishes duck rise and gazpachu plus deserts, and liked them all. Waiter was very attentive and with good attitude and could recommend dishes and wine. Room is basic, but this together with service and food make the experience authentic. Can well recommend.
Very nice local food, friendly staff!
Amazing small local restaurant. Great service
Simply the best. Authentic Alentejo dishes. Very attentive staff. Delicious wine.
We had dinner in this spot and enjoyed being advised from the owner. We ordered a typical migas dish and some tender pork neck cachaço. Everything was really tasty, good portion in a typical Alentejo familiar setting.
I don't understand why other reviewers felt the need to compar this to a high standard nd restaurant, when this area serves tasty, no frills food. Thus place fulfilled our expectations at a more than affordable price

(Translated by Google) Very close to the Monsaraz castle we find this two-story building that, although according to tradition, played the role of the court of the Inquisition, it seems that it was nothing more than accommodation for a member of the Holy Office or temporary stay of accused before transferring them to Évora to be judged. Currently, an Interactive Center of Jewish History is located there in Monsaraz, a city where a prosperous Jewish community lived. On the ground floor we find two rooms about megalithism and the history of the city, while on the upper floor we find an audiovisual room and another where some information panels about the Inquisition in the area are displayed. The museum doesn't give much of itself; It is very small and there is practically not much to see, except for the information panels; In any case, it is interesting to know some details of this dark period in the area.

Opening hours are Monday to Thursday, from 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., and from Friday to Sunday, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.

En la actualidad se ubica en él un Centro Interactivo de la Historia Judaica en Monsaraz, ciudad donde habitó una próspera comunidad judia. En la planta baja encontramos dos salas sobre el megalitismo y la historia de la ciudad, mientras que en la planta superior encontramos una sala audiovisual y otra donde se exhiben algunos paneles informativos sobre la Inquisición en la zona. El museo no da mucho de sí; es muy pequeño y prácticamente no hay mucho que ver, salvo los paneles informativos; de todas formas, es interesante para conocer algunos detalles de este oscuro período en la zona.

Pelourinho de Monsaraz is a captivating historical landmark that draws visitors with its charming architecture and rich cultural significance. Nestled in the picturesque village of Monsaraz, this pillory stands as a testament to the region's past, echoing stories of justice and community gatherings. The site offers an enchanting glimpse into local history while providing stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
(Translated by Google) The town of Monsaraz received its first charter in 1276, granted by King Afonso III and confirmed by D. Manuel I in 1512. The current pillory, which symbolises the municipality's autonomy, dates back to the 18th century and was built on the ruins of a previous one destroyed in the 1755 earthquake. It is built in white marble and stands in the square in front of the main church.

Museu Do Fresco, formerly known as Museu de Arte Sacra, is located in a Gothic building that once served as the base of the Inquisition and later a school.

It also displays religious art, vestments, and various historical exhibitions related to the area and nearby castle.

Only one fresco. But beautiful pictures of the life in this region in ancient times.
Very modern digital table where one may select topics, information, photos etc.

(Translated by Google) I highly recommend it!! For 1 euro I visited the fresco museum and the house of the inquisition. I loved both places!! The fresco museum has the fresco itself (with a detailed explanation) and also has other very important things alluding to the history of Monsaraz. The house of the inquisition is also very interesting and is a place that makes us meditate! Very good!! Monsarraz, besides being a beautiful place, in the heart of Alentejo, has a series of monuments that are worth visiting, highlighting the ones mentioned above.

Aconselho vivamente!! Por 1 euro visitei o museu do fresco e a casa da inquisição. Adorei os dois locais!! O museu do fresco tem o fresco propriamente dito( com a explicação pormenorizada)e tem também outras coisas muito importantes alusivas á história de Monsaraz. A casa da inquisição também é muito interessante e é um local que nos faz meditar! Muito bom!! Monsarraz para além de ser um local lindíssimo, em pleno Alentejo, tem uma série de monumentos que vale a pena conhecer, destacando os supra indicados.
(Translated by Google) The fresco is fantastic and very interesting. The museum is very weak. The information available is minimal, focusing on the discovery of the fresco and omitting information (which exists) about when it was painted, for example. The museum does not follow opening hours. The receptionist who works there seems to have as her main occupation shouting at visitors not to take photos of the frescoes (even those who do not intend to do so).
(Original)
O fresco é fantástico e interessantíssimo. O museu é muito fraquinho. A informação disponível é mínima, centra-se na descoberta do Fresco e omite informação (existente) sobre por exemplo quando foi pintado. O horário do museu não é seguido. A recepcionista que lá está parece ter a ocupação principal de gritar com os para os visitantes para não fotografarem os frescos (mesmo os que não o tencionam fazer).
(Translated by Google) Well taken care of.
A fresh space full of art, a beautiful osis in this small town, which surprises at every turn. If you can, visit it. It is a pleasant place and invites you to stay enjoying his works.
100% recommended.
(Original)
Bien atendido.
Un esapcio fresco y lleno de arte, un osis precioso en este pequeño pueblecito, que sorpende a cada paso. Si puedes, vísítalo. Es un lugar agradable e invita a permacer disfrutando de sus obras.
100% recomendable.
(Translated by Google) A small museum with just one room and one painting. It has a small exhibition on the history of Monsaraz Castle.
Admission is free.
(Original)
Pequeno museu só com uma sala com uma pintura. Tem uma pequena exibição da história do Castelo de Monsaraz.
A entrada é gratuita.
(Translated by Google) The fresco is earlier and has these execution characteristics, the rest, history by historians with other evidence will prove it
(Original)
O fresco é anterior é tem essas características de execução, o resto, a história por historiadores com outras provas o irão comprovar
(Translated by Google) Small in size and big in history. It's worth it for one Euro and you can visit the Inquisition house too. The day I went there was an exhibition about the construction of the castle with all the details. It doesn't take more than 20 minutes to appreciate it. I recommend it.
(Original)
Pequeno no tamanho e grande na história. Vale a pena por um Euro e com direito a visitar. casa da Inquisição também. No dia que fui tinha exposição sobre a construção do castelo com os detalhes. Não leva mais de 20 minutos para apreciar. Recomendo.
(Translated by Google) A very small museum, but with a very interesting historical panel. For €1 you can buy a ticket to this museum and the one to the Inquisition House.
(Original)
Museu muito pequenino, mas com um painel de interesse histórico bem interessante. Por € 1 compra-se o bilhete para este museu e o da casa da inquisição.

(Translated by Google) The 2 stars are for the City Council, which has abandoned several monuments in the municipality
(Original)
As 2 estrelas sao para a Câmara Municipal que deixa ao abandono vários monumentos do concelho
(Translated by Google) Small chapel now in ruins on the outskirts of Monsaraz. It is worth mentioning for its historical significance as a home for the village's lepers.

Pequena ermida já em ruínas nos arredores de Monsaraz. Vale pelo seu significado histórico como casa dos leprosos da vila

Capela Votiva São João Baptista (Cuba)
2.0
(1)
Chapel
Capela Votiva São João Baptista, also known as Cuba, is a simple and unique chapel located outside the walls. It is one of the oldest monuments in the village and its origins are believed to be connected to the period when this region was under Muslim rule. The chapel offers a glimpse into the historical significance of the area and provides visitors with an opportunity to appreciate its cultural heritage.
(Translated by Google) It can't be the greatest pride of someone who says they were involved in the restoration of the space, full of weeds, a miserable rotten wooden door and an even more miserable security system, unfortunately this is the state of conservation of the frescoes...
(Original)
Nao deve ser o maior orgulho de quem diz que esteve na recuperação do espaço, cheio de ervas daninhas, uma miserável porta de madeira podre e um sistema de segurança ainda mais miserável, lamentavelmente é assim o estado de conservação dos frescos...

O Gaspacho

Restaurant
O Gaspacho is a charming tapas bar located on the main street of Monsaraz. It offers a delightful selection of local meats, cheeses, and fantastic toasts, making it an ideal spot for those seeking a lighter meal accompanied by refreshing drinks. Visitors rave about the flavorful gazpacho, mozzarella and tomato toast, as well as sardines on toast with red pepper. The use of high-quality olive oil and generous amounts of garlic in the dishes adds to their deliciousness.
Everything was just amazing… The gaspacho was delicious, the toast with cheese, tomato and garlic was simple yet one of the most delicious things… The place is small, so make sure that if you see a table free, you take it!
He makes most of the things from scratch, for example, the mozzarella.. just delicious and inviting… A cozy place with an inviting atmosphere.

Good place with fresh and tasty food. Service is friendly and pleasent
The owner might be a little crazy but adds to the charm. The place is great!
Needed a quick bite on a hot day and this place delivered!
Who knew Something as simple as cheese with honey and oregano on toast could be that sublime? Partner had their potato dish which was delicious and the tomatoes that were served with it were fresh with a little olive oil and oregano.
I didn’t love the namesake cup of gaspacho, although that would have more to do with my wanting it to have more tomatoes and a dislike of too many raw onions.
Would happily return!
The service was “very good”! The host Rui was very welcoming and present for us. Cozy atmosphere. Food was fresh and homemade, especially the gazpacho.
Would recommend for an authentic and intimate experience. Don’t be fooled by the unassuming exterior!
Had the gazpacho, tortilla, tomato salad, and cheese plate. Simple but really delicious. You can tell the owner really cares about the quality. Great atmosphere and very friendly owner. Highly recommend!
Rui’s gazpacho is to die for, best I’ve ever tasted. Closely followed by the best mozzarella and tomato on toast and sardines on toast with red pepper. The bread was perfect, drizzled in olive oil and rubbed with garlic and herbs sprinkled on top. Simple yet delicious. One of the best things I’ve had to eat in Portugal so far. Drive to Monsaraz just to eat here!
Best gazpacho we have had in Portugal along with the tuna salad and toasties! It is a quaint place but everything you eat there will not disappoint. We visited O Gaspacho and it’s gracious owner several times during our stay in Monsaraz!
