    Wow. What a surprise that food this good came from a little town like this! We were staying nearby…read moreand are vegetarians who prefer locally sourced ingredients. What a delight to find this gem of a restaurant! The lovely waiter (Lebanese cutie whose name we didn't get) was excellent and quite helpful. He answered our questions and led us to choose fantastic dishes. We decided to share two appetizers and two mains. We selected the corvino and the tempura veggies, both excellent. Our entrees were the incredibly flavorful lentils with eggplant and the risotto. Both were melt-in-your-mouth delicious! Although we were more than completely stuffed we were talked into taking a slice of the vegan ginger cake with us. So glad we did - the coconut frosting was the perfect amount of sweet and the cake the right amount of moist. As we were leaving our lovely waiter gave us each a taste of moroño, the distilled local berry. It's something like 40% alcohol and will our hair on your chest! Definitely firewater! Apparently the locals drink it with breakfast! We will be back to Elska should we return to this region of Portugal!

Their menu changes frequently, based on the fresh fish and produce they can get for each season. My husband and I spoke to the proprietors, who said they were trained in London and then by Portuguese Michelin-rated restauranteurs. It shows. Excellent food; excellent presentation; excellent service; charming, casual atmosphere. Fabulous.
