Everything about this experience was delightful. The service was personal. The food exquisite. So so delicious and beautifully presented. The value is excellent. One of our best evenings so far in all of Portugal. If you’re in Fátima make this your dinner spot. Absolutely fabulous.

The best restaurant we ate at in Portugal from start to finish!! (And we are foodies!) The food was outstanding! From the taste to the presentation, well done! We had two starters, two entrees and one dessert and all were exceptional! The waiter Imo is one of the best in the business. Friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable (he made great recommendations). He also had the right amount of touch points (being there when you needed him but also giving you space to enjoy your meal). He recommended the house wine and brought a taste of it, saying we didn’t have to keep it if we didn’t like it. It was great! Imo also poured only half the glass while we had our appetizers (so the wine wasn’t warm for our entrees) and then topped us off for the entrees. What a nice touch for chilled wines by the glass! Chef came around to greet us. A nice touch that allowed us to tell him how wonderful his food was! This meal was the surprise of our trip and a bonus as it is 5 min from the shrine at Fatima. A++

From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding—welcoming, attentive, and genuinely friendly. The staff went out of their way to ensure everything was perfect. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavour. Every dish exceeded our expectations. It’s clear that both the kitchen and front-of-house teams take pride in what they do. Highly recommended— when we revisit Fatima we will definitely be coming back to A Cave restaurant!

Restaurant is about 20 minutes walk from the Sanctuary and 20 minutes from the Museum of Aljustrel. Server was very nice and made recommendations for the mains which turned out to be delicious (octopus and a slow cooked veal). Dishes and wine were reasonably priced. Only thing that I did not appreciate was that another server brought over a platter of antipasto (olives, prosciutto type ham, squash and warm bread) and placed it on our table without asking us or letting us know it would cost 9 euros. It’s one thing if they want to give us a complementary platter but I don’t think they should assume we will pay for it. We did end up taking it because they said the shrimp appetizer that were ordered would take 15 minutes and we were hungry. However, their approach was a bit off putting. Overall a good experience and would recommend.

The owner was great. Explained in detail how they made their dishes down to the fact that they make their own unsalted butter with garlic and parsley- yum! The restaurant is very cool. It has an open kitchen as well. We had a great experience.

Angelo took the trouble to explain every dish, including the types of port wines, all done with a big smile. The food was delicious and the portions big. The bread was fresh and crusty, and it came with in-house pumpkin paste and garlic butter. The place was spotless and the tablecloth pristine. It made our 20th wedding anniversary evening.

Nena our server was amazing and friendly. Food was outstanding. The starter of roasted asparagus and mushrooms and main of duck confit and carrot purée was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Well worth a visit.
