The octopus was perfectly cooked and the sauce flavors were perfect. My wife had the pork loin with cauliflower/egg scramble. But that name hardly adequate to describe how yummy that was.

We found this in a couple of tour books and were able to secure a reservation through some broken Spanish since our Portuguese was so poor as was their English. It is a very cute space and felt very typical for Evora. The waiter was trying his best to serve everyone as he passed around the only English menu to all of the tables (it appeared that was the common language of most patrons). Their specialty is soup so we tried the tomato soup which was very good. The garlic soup with the cod was not so good - actually a bit bland.

Yes, the owner/chef is opinionated about how he prepares items, but the food and tastes were so, so very good. We started out sharing a large strawberry/apple salad that was exquisite, and I'm not a huge fan of salads. Next, I insisted that we try the mushrooms with balsamic and chocolate. Incredible! For our mains, my wife enjoyed a thin slice of steamed salmon steak, while I had a thin filet of sea bass poached in Champagne. The serving sizes were small, but the accompanying veggie tray was incredible. It had been challenging to get fresh veggies at dinner, and here we ate more and a wider variety than we had eaten since we arrived. Lots of herbs, with very little salt, which is how we prefer our food. Alentejo wines by the glass were lovely (though I prefer Douro and Dão reds myself). We had a lovely meal in an intimate setting (we put on a Sinatra LP). Definitely a treat dinner.

She explained the creative parts of our meals very well and was professionally attentive all evening. Heads up: this is not inexpensive mass-produced Portuguese food.

Which is probably why even after the lunch rush it was still a 20 minute wait for indoor seating (outside would have been less, but it was too hot). While Portuguese service is nothing like American service, I agree with others that servers here seem particularly unfriendly, even by Portuguese standards. Adega de Belem is small, but really pretty and evocative of an adega. The azulejos are beautiful. We ordered sangria, which was refreshing but not all that strong. We all enjoyed our meals. I had the sea bass, which was grilled with herbs and accompanied by potatoes and salad. It was traditionally Portuguese, which I love, and it was good. Belem isn't high on my return list, but if I ever did return, I'd eat at Adega de Belem.
