To Eat in Batalha
You will need plenty of time to explore the monastery so a quick lunch may suffice in Batalha. You will know by the crowded tables and benches that Mercado Pao Broa Regionais is the "go to" lunch spot for tourists and locals alike. When you walk into the little grocery, your senses will be rewarded with the smell of homemade bread and soup wafting toward the door. Don't let the petite deli counter fool you. The sandwiches are stacked with you choice of meats and cheeses and are the perfect accompaniment to the steaming hot soup. The tables are in the shadows of the towering church facade. If you decided to stay in the lovely town of Batalha for dinner or for Sunday lunch, the Mosteiro do Leitao is a favorite for roast pig. They also serve a number of Portuguese seafood and pasta dishes in a family style atmosphere that is a few minutes away from the main tourist attractions.
