The Portuguese cooked is a traditional dish of our country and there are several restaurants that have this delicacy available to customers. It takes chorizo, pitty, cow meat, ward, farinheira and in this dish so famous in Portugal there is no shortage of sprouts, potatoes and turnips. However, the stew is not always used in the same way and there is a particular restaurant where it eats inside the bread.
It was baptized with the name “The Alentejo” and the goal is to honor the gastronomy of the region below the Tagus. Still, it is above the Tagus that the restaurant is located, in this case, in Rio de Mouro, in Sintra. Founded 25 years ago, the restaurant was born from the hands of the Lopes family and today is Maria João Lopes who lead the kitchen, next to Sister Claudia.
Although they are daughters to lead the business, what is certain is that parents continue to be part of it. In fact, it was the father, Manuel António, who discovered the space in Rio de Mouro, where the restaurant is currently located.

However, the ex-líbris From the restaurant “O Alentejo” is the Portuguese cooked that is served on bread. In an interview, Maria João Lopes says that the idea for this dish came before the pandemic, when some friends gathered on Friday to have lunch with the Lopes family to late hours. Behold, one of the friends had returned fascinated with a Portuguese booked that was served to him on bread in Santa Maria da Feira.

This was the motto for the Lopes family to try this new way of serving customers the cooked and the truth is that the dish today is a success. It takes more than two hours to make and can opt for different sizes, which serve between four and 12 people.
The smallest size costs 60 euros and the largest reaches 125 euros. If the largest serves 12 people, it means that each person will have to pay approximately 10.40 euros for their portion. It is case to say that in the restaurant “The Alentejo”, the prices are from ‘Friend’.
