Cera - Bistro & Bar

Tucked away in the streets of Aljezur, this place is a true gem offering dishes that beautifully capture the essence of the region.
The team was warm and attentive, recommending a wonderful wine that paired perfectly with our meal.
Altogether, one of the most enjoyable fine dining experiences Aljezur has to offer.

If you are travelling to the South West coast of Portugal, then this place is an absolute MUST. The dishes are a perfect combination of portuguese flavours with a delicate twist. Their menu is seasonal, so the main courses are changed to reflect what is in season. Besides, their service is top notch and the place has a great ambiance. Could not recommend more!

This is (for the time being) Aljezur's best-kept secret! The fact that we discovered a very high level of cuisine and respect for food in a place far from the bustle of the city and where the challenges of finding customers and good staff to work with are overcome with great success was the first of many surprises. Here, I discovered unpretentious food where the best local products and small producers are highlighted to showcase what the area is known for producing, and my god... it's so delicious! From bread, cured ham, black garlic, and cashew cheese (what?!), crudo fish with sweet potato pickle and lemon leaf oil, to pistachio and carob ice cream. The very amiable head of the room and creator of the drinking menu, who knew how to read the menu flawlessly and accompany the meal with stunning simplicity, served a cocktail menu to go along with all of this. I can only speak of the smiles and happy eye rolls that the food brought out in me; I don't speak as a food critic; rather, I speak as a simple customer whose feelings and reactions were awakened in a way I never felt before. I think it was the best meal I've ever had. I'll leave it up to everyone who gives it a shot, even though it might seem over the top. Thank you Rafael, Wilson, Fanny, Dominik and Bel!

What an amazing time we had at Cera!
Super friendly staff, really tasty food with locally sourced ingredients, refreshing cocktails and natural wines!
What a gem we found in Aljezur. If you have the chance to visit, don't miss it!

Tremendous experience, I CANNOT speak highly enough of this place. High end cuisine in a remote, quiet region. The staff are all lovely and treated us like family. The space is cozy and inviting with regular events and live music. The food was absolutely heavenly, every dish left us speechless with its fragrant, biological, fresh, local ingredients. Clearly every detail and care was taken into account to make this an unforgetabble meal. The menu changes from time to time keeping things exciting and the low prices won't let anyone feeling hungry. The quality of the photos I'm posting, I think, doesn't make the food justice. Shoutout to the bartender as the drinks were equally amazing and you could taste the care and thought with which they were made. I don't know of another establishment that would justify a one day trip from Lisbon to the south of the country (roughly 250km) like this. I just know I'll definitely do it again and I can't wait.
