What better place for a meal where the flavors of the land blend with a picturesque and pleasant atmosphere than Monsaraz?

At the Taverna “Os Templários,” one room evokes the medieval era, reflecting the village’s monumental heritage and inviting us to connect with the history where our ancestors shared meals; in another room, with a privileged view of the watercolor-like expanse of the Alqueva Dam and the lands of Portugal and Spain, we offer a spectacular fusion of enjoying nature while savoring delicious Alentejo cuisine.

The art of cooking is a fundamental tradition in Alentejo, where preparing and cooking dishes on the spot ensures genuine, fresh flavors, often sourced directly from the region’s gardens, guaranteeing both quality and trust in the ingredients. It is based on these principles that we invite you to visit, so your senses can be delighted not only by the taste but also by the surrounding scenic environment.
