SOLAR DOS NUNES

Under the bridge of 25-April and a few steps from the Balneário of Alcântara, one of the few public baths in Lisbon still active, go to this good family house alentejane for traditional cuisine of character. Since all its years of good and loyal services (soon 25 years), Solar dos Nunes, a little eccentric, but not far away from Vila Galé Opera hotels or Pestana Palace, has had time to make a loyal clientele of accustomed people, a good reputation and beautiful press references (and, among other things, Gilberto Gil, among other things)., singer and former minister of culture of Brazil). With adjusted budget, do not waste money and time with black pork ham or snacks (petiscos) which are, of course, not offered or donated, although very suitable! Go directly to serious things, the resistance dishes check not only delicious but super rich. On two levels, the typically rustic frame séduit because it is made of exposed beams, small Portuguese pavés and azulejos, enriched with beautiful collection of brass or assiettes plates. Leaving the very busy kitchen, the fragrances of the dishes of the day (rice to duck rice or fish depending on the lot, fried or grilled), from octopus to Lagareiro or even from açorda of gambas, we allèchent! Mention for game (in the hunting season: deer, wild boar, partridge…) and for a negro arroz arroz ink, divinal because right now, with pointes and coriander ends right, one of the best ever tasted by the Fox. After leaving a little room, generous homemade pastries, com certeza of the Alentejo (Sericaia d, encharcada encharcada…) or more refreshing, seasonal fruits (papaya, mango, pineapple) well sliced… Bonus: good bread, good wines and a professional and attentive service.
