For superb food and an excellent wine list, head for this charming stone-walled restaurant in pretty countryside 5km southeast of town. Order ahead if you want the regional favourite – arroz de sarrabulho (stewed rice with pork and pork blood). Seafood options are also fabulous, from pataniscas de bacalhau (codfish fritter appetisers) to espetada de lulas (skewered squid and roasted peppers).
