A vegetarian-friendly spot in Idalha-a-Nova

During a stay in Monsanto, we drove here for a dinner (30min drive). There were several reservations for later times so we had a good timing when visiting without reserving a table, went there right after opening. The staff were welcoming and friendly and they were willing to ask the chefs about vegan options. In the vegetarian menu there were 3 dishes and we tried two of them, the vegetable curry with chickpeas served with rice and a sweet vegetable stew with zucchini served with beetroot rice. Both of the dishes were tasty, even if the curry was a bit on the greasy side. We also had the padron peppers, olives and bread with peach jam (yummy) for starters. One thing that was a bit annoying was the fact that the starters were brought to the table without asking first, including ones with meat and butter. These were also added to the bill later even after we sent them back to the kitchen, however this was fixed when asked. In general a nice place with lots of locals having a casual dinner with their families.

Great conditions

Very nice people, that understand the difference from vegan to vegetarian. Some dishes need to remove the sauce to be completely vegan.
Number 1 in Idanha-a-Nova

Pros: Lots of options, Good communications , Information in the menu, about the sauces

Cons: Some sauces have dairy products
