Destilaria O Ferrador · Alentejo tavern

Traditional Alentejo tavern specialising in regional meats and petiscos (small plates). Authenticity and flavour, generation after generation.

O Ferrador is more than a restaurant — it's a place where Alentejo tradition comes to life in every dish. Since 1987, in the heart of São Luís, it has served authentic recipes prepared with top-quality local ingredients.

Here you'll find the true flavour of the Alentejo, especially in the matured meats and regional petiscos. To pair, local Alentejo wines — red, white or rosé — from a cellar with a curated selection of regional producers, plus local craft beer, spring water and natural juices.

Some dishes require preparation time — quality cooking doesn't rush. Booking ahead is recommended, especially on weekends and in high season. Ask about the daily specials: seasonal dishes vary with the local ingredients available.
