What to Try in the Region

Regional

Pão de ló de Alfeizerão

Regional Dessert €

Pão de ló de Alfeizerão belongs to the proud tradition of Portuguese regional confectionery, specific to the coastal wine country of the Oeste and made by artisan hands. Portugal's convent sweets tradition — surplus egg yolks, sugar and centuries of monastic ingenuity — gave birth to some of the world's most distinctive pastries. Small-batch production by family confectioners in Oeste keeps the recipe close to its origins. Best enjoyed fresh with a bica coffee — the definitive sweet moment of any visit to Oeste.

Arroz de Marisco à Alcobacense

Seafood €€

Built on the freshest local catch, Arroz de Marisco à Alcobacense captures the direct, confident character of the coastal wine country of the Oeste's coastal cuisine. Slow-simmered rice absorbs the briny depth of mixed shellfish and local fish stock, creating a richly layered one-pot dish. Order it at a local restaurant close to the water — freshness and simplicity are everything with this dish.
