Restaurante Pousada Sao Francisco

About

Having lunch in the restaurant of the Pousada of Beja, with its high ceilings and views of the cloister, has very little to do with the meals that the Franciscan monks ate in this same area, their old cafeteria. A couvert of snacks with olives and Beja's olive oil and pates of various flavors helps you feel comfortable to choose the appetizing entrees and dishes that make the lower Alentejo flavors parade at your table. Indulge in the acordas, especially the pennyroyal one, and be sure to warm yourself up with the soups of school-shark fish and tomato. Enjoy the "pataniscas" and fried sausages, taste the sea here when it's so far away with an Octopus salad, travel the entire country with passion fruit shot, a black pudding with rice and a cheese and tomato toast. Try out an extraordinary lambloin, a pie made of rabbit or the delicious black pork.
