Unique and rustic restaurant next to the World Heritage Monastery of Alcobaca.. This Restaurant is located just 50 meters from the World Heritage Monastery of Alcobaca, right in the middle of this unique and old city with it???s charming and well preserved streets and buildings that date back to the 12th century.About 300 years ago this building served as a bed & breakfast, where merchants and travellers stopped to rest and enjoy a home cooked meal away from home. They always returned many times more to this fine restaurant.This building was recuperated, maintaining its old character and construction style, by the great craftsmen Leonel Branco (the present owner),a man of great knowledge in restoration of old character buildings, acquired in France where he worked on many of these projects throughout his life.This property is composed of not only a fine and unique restaurant equipped with all of the amenities to be one of the best restaurants in this area, but there is also on the ground floor a large store that is now rented out to a merchant who deals in clothing providing the owner with rental income.This is a must see property, as you walk in you will fall in love with its unique character, right from the stone walls to the fine and well preserved wood work that is abundant through out the whole building making this a very unique restaurant.The setting is also excellent, due to its close by monument where many tourists visit all year around and enjoy the calm and beautiful street.
