Gastronomy

The restaurant at Soadro do Zêzere began its journey in 1974. Over the years, it has been redesigned and reimagined with the purpose of enhancing the experience of those who visit us, yet it has never abandoned its simplicity and authenticity.

Our culinary mentor, Maria Rosa, is one of the founders of this project and has dedicated over 50 years to it with unmatched commitment, passion, and devotion. She continues to be our ever-inspiring mentor.

OUR MENUS

Our food and wine suggestions reflect the journey we began in 1974, a path that has brought us to where we are today. Throughout this time, the Soadro do Zêzere Family has never abandoned its simplicity and authenticity. And just like in every journey, there are always places and people that enrich us — which is why we’ve added to our list products and flavors that, while not regional, are part of this Family’s Gastronomic History and Culture.
