The story
In the heart of Estremoz, Mercearia Gadanha is a place where the tastes of Alentejo are treated with care and respect. More than a restaurant, it is a mercearia – a grocery and delicatessen – that also houses a wine cellar and a shop. The team’s mission is simple: to bring you the finest quality, with a selection of prime products that have been tasted and approved.
Whether you come for lunch or dinner, the restaurant serves the very best Alentejo has to offer. The setting was designed for any occasion – a business lunch, a family gathering, or a relaxed evening with friends. The wine cellar highlights the foremost wines of Estremoz alongside a curated selection of national wines, available to enjoy at the table or to take home from the shop. The shop itself offers a wide range of national products from across Portugal, plus hand-picked imports: teas, chocolates, outstanding olive oils, and premium delicatessen.
In 2026, Mercearia Gadanha earned a Michelin Recommended distinction, a recognition that aligns with the restaurant’s constant quest for top-quality ingredients and the refinement of traditional Alentejo flavours. For those seeking an authentic taste of the region, this is a place to discover.
