Our regular clients have asked us to provide a selection of dishes with less generous size portions! Please ask our staff what is available when you visit.

We have available a special Salad Menu, comprising a selection of fresh crunchy salads.

Sounds simple but, again, Robert´s clever use of seasoning and unusual ingredients is the key to making the ordinary excellent.

All dishes are served with fresh vegetables in season and "O Limoeiro´s" signature sauté potatoes which, with their crunchy herb finish are so moreish you can forget ideas of calorie cutting. Portions are generous and the vegetables perfect.

For Sobremesa (dessert) the choice is excellent: Lemon sorbet with a dash of Cointreau, homemade banoffee pie, "After Eight" chocolate mousse, fresh fruit salad - what are you waiting for?

Nothing at "O Limoeiro" will break the bank but lunch is exceptional value for money. You´ll be hard pushed to spend 10 to 12 euros a head, even adding in coffee and a glass of wine or beer.
With most main course choices for dinner also around 10 to 15 euros, and a range of inexpensive local wines, Robert and Anne may be bringing with them some of their international experience, but not the prices.
