A Prensa - IC2 24

Sympathic service, good, well-priced food.

Very pleasant place. Some dishes are just top.

Top!

Best steak I've had in Portugal!

Excellent local food! brought by my driver. Highly recommended if u can find it

Wow wasn't expected such a quality tasty meat. But most important in this restaurant is the stuff which is very friendly and kind to suggest you a good meal and wine, is what we need anyway ? In general is a good place to spend a dinner with a friend or family

Really good, excellent quality food. Good price as well, excellent service.

We were advised where to pop in for dinner by the owner of a local prestigious farm - "Herdade da Embereza" - which hosts Large Events and also has a new "Horse Riding School" which is starting to be "noticed" as a quality one... Students of all ages are mounting Pure Lusitano Horses which are extremely well taken care of, classical music playing, for the enjoyment and nerve calming of both riders and horses, and an experienced horse Riding Instructor! We visited this amazing place so I could have a private Riding Lesson! Coming back to "A Prensa", when we arrived at around 19h30, the restaurant was fully booked, however the "Hostess" who received us (which we found out later was the owner) ended up providing us the opportunity to have dinner indoors by moving an outdoor patio table and chairs into the restaurant. The temperatures in November are low, and it was quite cold outdoors!!! This, did make an very positive impression on us, because the last thing we wanted was to drive more than 100km to get home, without a nice meal! Now, when it came to service AND the quality of the meal, we were stunned! In the middle of the countryside, near Alenquer, to find not only a 5 star quality service with very attentive staff, was a refreshing surprise!!! We chose a cut of meat for 2, which came served in a wood plank, meat juices running from the meat, accompanied by proper home made fries and a wet bean rice ("arroz malandro com feijão encarnado") and "migas"(a mix of green leafy Portuguese cabbage and corn bread crumbs)!!! The wine list was very acceptable too. We chose a Douro wine, but you also have a good choice of wines from this region of Ribatejo, but all other Portuguese unique wine regions were available too. And finally, the deserts were home made, and we swallowed - even when we thought we had no more space in our bellies - a very generous portion of the walnut cake with egg base cream, and finishing this meal with a typical short portuguese coffee! We left completely satisfied, to continue our journey back home to "Quinta de EVORAMONTE" (which is a "Casa da Campo/Rural Tourism", located in the heart of Alentejo!). We certainly will recommend, and return again, as it truly was, simply put, a quality gastronomical experience!!! Well done to this couple of entrepreneurs, who embarked in this challenging personal project of developing and running this great quality Restaurant, having not only "survived", but are now again thriving, despite the several months imposed long closures of all restaurants in 2020/21, and present enormously challenging restrictions imposed by the Portuguese Government, during this difficult pandemic times...
