This lovely spot, located on a hill behind Alcobaça in Bemposta, is an understated, modern, wooden-and-stone cabana with country-garden surrounds. It serves Portuguese dishes with contemporary flair, and is the perfect place to escape the monastery and plaza crowds. Warning: you'll want to spend time here. Reserve ahead.
