A Eira do Mel

This charming husband-and-wife-operation in Vila do Bispo (just a few kilometers from Sagres) is the perfect post-beach lunch spot. Chef Jose Pinheiro and his wife Isalia created a rustic-chic restaurant in an old farmhouse near the center of town. Antiques, checkered tablecloths and hand painted windows lend the dining room an intimate, lived-in vibe, which perfectly complement the local, slow-food dishes. Think tender rabbit in a red wine sauce, prawn stewed in nothing but olive oil and garlic and boiled quail eggs served with sea salt.
