Regional dishes and sharing snacks, accompanied by wines, define the concept of the winebar and restaurant Wine Corner by José Maria da Fonseca, in Vila Nogueira de Azeitão.

“This relaxed and pleasant space is intended to provide an immersive experience of the brand, in an environment that reflects its history, accompanied by simple cuisine, but of enormous quality”, says the company.

With 100 seats in two interior rooms and a terrace, the space is located on a corner of the Casa-Museu José Maria da Fonseca building, which was once the residence of the Soares Franco family, and aims to be “a cozy corner, dedicated to wine and to the history of a family business with almost 200 years of history”.

The more than 60 wine references, from various regions of the country, complement a menu that respects the seasonality of fish and vegetables and bets on regional ingredients.

From the old-fashioned fried duck stew and fried cuttlefish with lime mayonnaise, to the matured entrecôte and veal cheek in Periquita, ratte purée and carrot ragu, there are several options between “Do Mar” and “Da Serra” products.

To top it off, a Mosca na mousse, the most famous dessert of the house, a drunk pear with Piedade crumble and Azeitão cheese ice cream, or an inevitable Azeitão pie.

Other suggestions are sharing snacks – cheese and sausage boards, or selections of regional and national cheeses – accompanied by a wine tasting. The terrace is a good choice for a relaxed afternoon with friends, with a muscatel or a craft beer.
