A Cozinha do Paço

A Cozinha do Paço represents a remarkable culinary achievement in the heart of Alentejo, housed within the historic Paço do Morgado de Oliveira at the Fitapreta winery. Opened in February 2025, this fine dining establishment quickly distinguished itself by earning both a Michelin Star and a Green Michelin Star just over a year later, marking the first Michelin recognition to arrive in Évora.

Under the leadership of chef Afonso Dantas, the restaurant rescues the essence of an authentic Alentejo - a forgotten Alentejo where tradition gains new life through the union of elegance and innovation, always with profound respect for Alentejo roots. The young chef, originally from Madeira, has created a culinary vision that celebrates regional heritage while embracing contemporary techniques.

The restaurant offers two sophisticated tasting menus: Poda Longa and Poda em Vaso, both available with expertly curated wine pairings that showcase the estate's exceptional wines. The dining experience unfolds in an atmosphere that seamlessly blends the historic grandeur of the palace setting with modern fine dining sophistication, creating an unforgettable gastronomic journey through the flavors and traditions of the Alentejo region.
