Tasca do Celso (Celso's Tavern) is a reference in Alentejo's typical cuisine, although the place has nothing to do with a "tasca", the owners name isn't Celso and even worse, he's not even from Alentejo. José Ramos Cardoso is from Lamego and was nicknamed "Celso" after his father, a well known and respected character of Milfontes. In a "restaurant where people can see the kitchen", his lifes dream, Celso spoils his customers, preparing them the food or indicating a good wine, one of the best qualities of the house. Celso has one of the most interesting wine cellars in the region, with wines from all over the country, particularly from Alentejo and Douro. After all, what else would you expect from an "alentejano" from Lamego? | |||

Tasca do Celso offers one of the most interesting wine cellars in the region, focusing in particular on the regions of Alentejo (local wine) and Douro (Celsos motherland). Anyway, wines from around the country are available, from Dão to Setúbal, passing through Lisbon.
Surrounded by some of the best beaches in the Portuguese coast, Alentejos south west is undoubtedly, one of the most famous destinies in the country. From the vast sands of Malhão to the quieter beaches of Foz and Brejo Largo, the landscape is always breathtaking.
With its unique location close to the mouth of the Mira River and in front of the Atlantic, Milfontes is still one of the most charming villages in the region.
Odemira is directly connected to Milfontes by the flow of the Mira River. Try a quiet boat or canoe trip towards the mouth of the river.
South of Milfontes, discover the impressing promontory of the Sardão Cape with its powerful lighthouse.

"The Tasca is a small dream that with time became an enormous source of personal achievement. And a tribute to my father..." |
