Laranjinha

If you find yourself wandering through the charming streets of Nossa Sra. da Tourega, a stop by Laranjinha cafe is an absolute must. Located at R. Gen. Humberto Delgado 4, this quaint establishment, run by the warm and welcoming couple who delight in serving both locals and travelers alike, presents a delightful taste of Alentejo cuisine.

The heart and soul of this cafe shines through in their offerings, which emphasize simplicity yet ooze quality. As a highlight, the dish of the day captures the essence of home-cooked meals, infused with a gourmet touch that transforms traditional recipes into something special. While the main dish is served during weekdays at lunch, guests will still find a selection of two or three standard dishes that carry the same passion and attention to detail, ensuring a satisfying dining experience.

Interior dining is complemented by a cozy atmosphere, where you’ll immediately feel at ease. However, the true hidden gem of Laranjinha is the lovely backyard—a perfect setting for a leisurely meal, especially good for groups. Here, you can embrace the pleasure of dining in the open air, surrounded by the aromas of delicious food and the joyful ambiance that the owners cultivate. As reviewer Paulo Oliveira noted, "The backyard is excellent for a prolonged meal," and indeed, it is recommended to book in advance to guarantee your spot in this picturesque nook.

Customer experiences paint a vivid picture of Laranjinha’s offerings. Juvenal Diniz expresses appreciation for the homely feel and excellent food, while others like Soheyl Sazedj praise the friendly service and exquisite gourmet flair. Whether you’re there for the wonderful Alentejo cuisine or the cheerful vibe cultivated by the owners, each visit feels genuine and personal.
