´Portuguese food done the traditional way´. Restaurant O Monte in Quinta Velha, Cabanas is not to be missed.
M
RESTAURANTE TRADICIONAL eet Teresa and Peter O’Connor, owners of restaurant O Monte in Quinta Velha, Cabanas. This pretty little restaurant is tucked away within the small complex, next to the Jolly Sailor bar. The beautiful sunny terrace covered with stunning Bougainvillea is the perfect place to enjoy a lunch in the shade of the midday sun, or an evening meal. Peter is a Golf professional at Castro Marim golf and country club. He
always had restaurants in the Beja region, therefore she grew up in the restaurant environment. During Covid, the couple took a step back and took the opportunity to make a few life decisions. The restaurant O Monte was well established and had a good reputation. It was available and the couple decided to take the leap and completed the deal on the premises. They took over in August 2021, and after renovations were complete, they opened
QUINTA VELHA - CABANAS and will be found helping out at the restaurant in the evenings after his ´daytime job. Teresa has owned a restaurant for the last 6 years on the beach close to Manta Rota. Her father
46
this year. The menu consists of traditional Portuguese food, done the traditional way. No fancy focus is on quality ingredients which is found in abundance here in the Algarve.
