Dona Bia is a must do when visiting Comporta. It is conveniently located on the EN 261 on your way to Comporta, and near the turn off to Praia Torre.

(they do not accept reservations!) with a simple decoration that pays tribute to the region, its main purpose is to serve good traditional dishes in a family atmosphere. While choosing, pay attention to the wine selection, with good offers from the Setúbal Peninsula, and the excellent and unusual supply of whiskeys. The menu follows the “habits” of the land and features single or two-person bowls, where rice is accompanied by razor clams with shrimp, octopus with shrimp or shrimp with clams.

After four decades of serving the best groceries in the area nearby, the Gomes family decided to be even more democratic and provide a good eating and drinking space. You can find many traditional appetizers (we call them petiscos), charcuterie board, octopus salad and amazing slow cooked port cheeks accompanied by good local wine, which you can start exploring on the terrace.

If you are looking for a typical Alentejo dinner, we recommend going for a grilled turkey stake at Bife de Peru. You can mention to the owner that you are coming from Spatia for the special treatment. No one speaks English, so you better have Google translator ready.

30-year-old O Fadista is the place to go if you want a family atmosphere and traditional Portuguese food. Lovingly prepared dishes made with regional produce. Also has an outside terrace.

Closing days: Sunday dinner & Monday

The menu has other suggestions, but it would be sacrilege to go through this restaurant and not go through the ex-libris of the house: the famous roast duck with kid's rice. Whole, half or in individual doses, arrives at the table with a hallucinating speed. In the Tia Rosa restaurant there are other delicacies worthy of memory, especially the roasted ones, such as the kid or the codfish, and, at the right time, a magnificent eel stew, which ends up making the choice more difficult.

It is in an old building, where many have learned the alphabet, and to remember those times, right at the entrance, a huge blackboard informs of the menu of the day. Pass with distinction the proof of the wild rabbit pie accompanied by pine nuts rice. Other alternatives in the restaurant are fried eels with tomato rice and partridge in the púcara. Take a look, without cheating, at the wine cellar, with good proposals and prices.
