Monte da Eira

Top choice in The Algarve


A former threshing mill's stables have been converted to house this charming restaurant with white-clothed tables spread over several rooms and two outdoor terraces. Refined rustic specialities, such as estfado de javali (wild boar stew with local herbs) and caçarola de coelho e ameixas (rabbit and plum casserole), are complemented by hundreds of Portuguese wines. It's 4km south of Querença.

Superb-value lunch menus are available Tuesday to Saturday only.
