In the village of Alijó, the Twisted Vine focuses on meaty dishes that pair well with fine wines: perdiz com queneles de batata (partridge with potato dumplings) and cabrito assado (roasted kid) are among the specialities. There's also bacalhau línguas (tongue—the tenderest part of the fish) and a range of cured and smoked sausages.
