A View Of The Monastery Of Alcobaça From Pastelaria Alcoa

To Drink in Alcobaça

The closer you are to the main square surrounding the Monastery of Alcobaça, the more "touristy" things become. In terms of having a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, it is worth it because of the view and the people-watching potential. Pastelaria Alcoa is an award winning cafe and they have plenty of tables inside and out to accommodate the weather. For tapas and a great cellar at your disposal, head to Riu's Restaurante. The stunning wood paneled walls and cozy decor are the perfect accompaniment to a bottle of your choice in celebration of a long day of sightseeing.


If you fancy, visit the National Wine Museum housed in a cellar built in 1875 by an important wine producer in this region.
