Casa do Cruzeiro.
O Curral
Comfort Food & Conversations in the Heart of Ourém
Just Down the Hill
If you’ve just come back from a walk around the castle or are winding down after a long sunny afternoon, you’ll want something hearty and genuine — the kind of meal that tastes like a reward. That’s how we feel every time we eat at O Curral, one of our favorite local spots, just a short drive (or walk!) from Casa do Cruzeiro.
It’s unassuming from the outside, but don’t let that fool you. Inside, it’s warm, welcoming, and often filled with the chatter of locals who’ve clearly made this their go-to place. We kind of have, too.
What We Love to Order
You’ll find classic Portuguese comfort food here — grilled meats done just right, rice with rich flavor, crispy potatoes, and seasonal sides that hit the soul. One of our absolute favorites? The grilled veal — juicy, perfectly seasoned, served with a generous helping of love and tradition.
They also do a great grilled codfish, if you're craving the ocean’s touch. Oh, and the homemade desserts? Try the Leite Creme or the Bolo de Bolacha. You’ll want to save room.
