With a salad, rice and hand cut chips as you'd expect from an authentic and traditional Portuguese restaurant. All very delicious. Paired with a red wine called Monte da Peceguina.

I arrived today in Santiago do Cacém planning to get some sleep, eat my trail mix for dinner, and…read morecrash early as I planned to begin the "Rota Vicentina," one of my annual epic hiking treks, tomorrow. My hotel's manager suggested this place and I tried to look it up. There are some google reviews that suggest it is basically the jewel restaurant of Santiago do Cacém. But, to my shock it wasn't even one of the listed businesses here!!! In a previous review, I mentioned that I have always wanted to be included in the "Yelp Elite," but I just never made the time to put down reviews. Well, once again, I felt the need to comment on this place. I went in on a simple hotel recommendation- millions of travelers get those all the time. I WAS BLOWN AWAY. First - Portuguese is a tough language and that's coming from someone who speaks French, Spanish, and Italian (and others!). But the staff spoke both English and Spanish, and I was super comfortable. Second, I was able to explain my gluten-free needs to my server and she readily explained what was OK for me and what was not. Finally, I ordered my dinner - the "mista" (mixed) plate of grilled Iberian Pork. My God it was delicious, accompanied by very crispy fries and tasty olives. I ordered the house red wine and it was so good I had 3 glasses! And at the end, my bill was UNDER $20! Mind you, this one of the premier restaurants in Santiago do Cacém. What a find, and what sadness that nobody has reviewed it before! I hope that more walkers on the Rota Vicentina come and have a pre-hike dinner here, they won't regret it!

I used Yelp! A bit late that evening and there was no place - so consider a reservation. Anyhow, we…read morewent for the take out option and it was very tasty. We ordered: Braised Tuna Steak. Well seasoned, well cooked (still rare inside, even for take out!), perfect choice of spices, very fresh veggies and puree on the side. 4.5/5 Shrimp curry. We got the rice in the side so we just needed to add it to the curry when serving. Nice attention from the restaurant. Meal was succulent, well prepared, curry was amazing. I would however suggest to order it to share between 4-6 people as a side, because this quite generous portion can be overwhelming for a single person. 4/5

We stopped in Sines en route to Lisbon from the Algarve and had a lovely late lunch here. The…read moreatmosphere is nice, set in a renovated train station (hence the name, of course). They have a wide variety of seafood, all of which looked delicious, but we went for their special razor clam rice with fried squid, which was delicious (and huge! The half portion was honestly enough for two) We also got the veal stuffed with ham, raisins, and chestnuts in a cream sauce which was unique and tasty. Prices were an excellent value for the quality of the food, and they also have a menu of the day (lunch special) which is an even better deal for around 12e, which had either a fish or meat option when we were there (you have to ask about it, it's on the menu outside but not listed on the inside menu). One downside was that it was pretty hot in there mid-afternoon. We got there right at the end of lunch service so maybe they had shut off the AC? In any case, worth a stop especially if driving north to Lisbon (they have plenty of free parking too!)-would definitely return and maybe explore Sines a bit more as well (castle was cool and beach looked beautiful from afar!)
