The "Casa do Caçador" is now in its fourth generation, run by Luís Nogueiro, and is about to celebrate its 70th anniversary. This house was founded in 1954 by his great-grandparents, where the concept of a tavern and a place where different people and times socialise has always been created.
This house has been passed down from generation to generation, from great-grandparents to grandparents, from grandparents to his parents and today Luís keeps the business alive, still with the daily help of his father.
Throughout the ages it has been a meeting place for hunters and still is today!!! In the old days, hunters would bring their game and hang the pieces at the entrance. Nowadays hunters still pass through, but almost always without game, as Luís jokingly said, and they take advantage of this place to refresh themselves with a "bucha".
Casa do Caçador is a reference tavern in the city of Portalegre. It's located right at the entrance to the city, for those coming from Crato or Alpalhão, and is an obligatory stop when passing through, whether it's for a coffee, some snacks, a good wine or a Franciscan ginjinha. It's a cosy place to visit with friends and sample some of the regional delicacies they prepare on the spot.
There is also a "Hunter's Shop" where visitors can buy some of the region's products, including our Franciscan ginjinha.
Book a stop at this emblematic space and be welcomed by Luís Nogueiro and his father.
