Elvas has a famous dessert at the Adega Regional

Finish your meal on a high note with the legendary Elvas dessert, the Sericaia.

This delightful treat is a tasty fusion of pudding and soufflé, drizzled with syrup and it must have the famous Elvas plum.

These plums gained literary fame in Agatha Christie’s short story, “The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding,” adding a touch of mystery to every bite!

Eating Solo at the Adega Regional

Are you an over 50 solo female traveler? Or any age solo traveler? You’ll love dining here, whether it’s lunch or dinner!

This was the first restaurant in Portugal where I was always seated at the best tables, never tucked away behind a column or near the toilets!

The staff at the Adega Regional are caring and respectful. You will always feel at home.

Times have changed since my first visit to Portugal, and now, solo women travelers are celebrated, not hidden away—at least in most places!

Adega Regional:  My culinary sanctuary

When I lived in Elvas, Adega Regional was my go-to restaurant.

I often went there for leisurely lunches and cozy solo dinners, but I also loved picking up something to enjoy at home.

The staff at Adega Regional were always friendly and quick to recommend the best dish of the day, ensuring every meal was delicious and prepared with love. When I picked up my orders, they were always nicely packaged, warm, and ready for me to dive into.

Adega Regional also had a fantastic wine selection, including smaller bottles that were perfect for takeout or for when I dined there alone.

Cheers to the delightful meals I enjoyed at Adega!
