Eira do Mel

Eira do Mel serves regional cooking in a former agricultural building on Vila do Bispo’s Castelejo road. Cataplanas and slow-cooked dishes make it a countryside-style alternative to the beach restaurants along the surrounding coast.

Estrada do Castelejo, beside the municipal market, Vila do BispoPortugueseFish & seafood

What to expect

Octopus-and-sweet-potato cataplana, prawn cataplana and stewed wild boar are among the house specialities. Its location beside the municipal market places it near the town, rather than at Castelejo beach itself. The converted farm building gives the restaurant a rural setting for a regional meal.

Choose it for a planned regional meal before or after exploring Vila do Bispo and the Atlantic coast. Contact the restaurant directly to arrange a table, particularly for a party wanting a shared cataplana. Use the municipal market and Castelejo-road location when planning your arrival, rather than continuing all the way to the beach.

Planning your visit

  • Located beside the municipal market on Estrada do Castelejo.
