The Restaurant Gourmet, integrated in the Pousada Convento de Belmonte, is just a kilometre from the village centre, in a secluded and quiet place, among the green pine groves of Serra da Esperança and with stunning views over Cova da Beira and Serra da Estrela.

The menu offers diversified suggestions and you can enjoy dishes inspired in the region as well as other more innovative creations. This restaurant is a unique case of dedication and commitment that gave it great notoriety. The menu is carefully selected by the Chef Valdir Lubeck.

The room is discreetly decorated with cloths over the tables, table markers and tall glasses. The big fireplace warms the cold days and creates a romantic and distinctive atmosphere. Form the dishes that mark the history of the restaurant, we stand out the pea velvety with basil and olive oil ice cream and custard served in an excavated granite stone . Fond of mushrooms, the Chef always finds good excuses to incorporate them in his creations, such as the famous mushrooms cappuccino with aromatic herbs foam, from the garden of the Convent.
