Maia - Coruche

Lovely staff, large portions, tasty. This is off the tourist trail and welcoming to us who speak only a few words of Portuguese.

It was a business lunch, without reservation, i think you 'll need one during the weekend. I 've been to this restaurant a few times and now i think it 's time to give it a review following the excellent meal we 've had. First of all, we had a waiting period of about 20 minutes for a table, it was a week day, lunch time. After that, the service was very carefull and the waiters (owner and wife i think) are always on the lookout for the customer needs. The food was amazing, very well cooked and with incredible flavour. It 's always like this, i 've never had a meal at this restaurant, that i could say it was average or below. The food is typical, with a good selection of fish. I always recommend the typical Alentejo food like Pézinhos de Coentrada or the lombinho de Porco Grelhado . I think the prices are affordable, not too expensive given that the size of the portions is well enough for and adult, sometimes for two. Good decoration, great atmosphere with the locals, awesome wine selection, seriously! And great desserts. I 'm only sad because it is located a bit far from my hometown, or else i would go there more often for lunch.

Delicious traditional food, mainly from Alentejo) in more than generous portions, friendly hosts. Not fancy, very welcoming. Loved it and certainly will be back.

Best random stop we had. Very good local food and very friendly service. We had the ribs and the ox tail.
