What to expect
The menu includes wild boar with prunes or chestnuts, pork cheeks with chestnuts and grilled pork served with migas, the savoury bread preparation. Fish choices are also present, including cod and squid, so a party does not have to order only meat. The restaurant’s hillside setting places the meal within a drive into the Monchique mountains.
Make this a deliberate stop on the Fóia road rather than expecting to find it in Monchique’s central square. The operator publishes an English menu and accepts table enquiries; for a same-day reservation it specifically asks guests to telephone. Discuss the day’s choices with staff when selecting a regional dish or planning around dietary requirements.
