Having lunch in the
restaurant of the Pousada Convento Beja, with its high ceilings and views of the cloister, has very little to do with the meals that the Franciscan monks ate in this same area, their
old cafeteria.
A
couvert of snacks with olives and Beja's olive oil and pâtés of various flavors helps you feel comfortable to choose the appetizing entrées and dishes that make the
lower Alentejo flavors parade at your table.
