August 20, 2019 Osvaldo Hartline

Find out what Portuguese restaurants to try in Evora. Time seems to stand still in Evora, a well-preserved medieval town that features protective walls, a 13th-century cathedral, several palaces,and a 1st-century Roman temple. No surprise that the town center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Even though it’s kind of creepy, don’t miss the Chapel of Bones, where the remains of nuns and monks are arranged in a haunting mosaic.

O Combinado

Restaurant food made to order, which is necessary to allow time for things to happen, usually customers arrive all at the same time and so with a small kitchen there is no way to do everything at once, but we do requests by order of the kitchen. it comes

This was without doubt our favourite of the restaurants that we ate at in Evora. Located away from the centre near the city wall and ring road, this family-run restaurant serving local dishes is well worth seeking out. Without pretension the place is welcoming with great food and service and very reasonable prices. I'd say booking is advisable but not absolutely necessary, although it may become so later in the evening. I had the pork ribs with migas, my wife the tuna with garlic and pink peppercorns and we'd commend them both. We'll definitely return here.

Reviewed By braulioa8968

On an October Saturday evening, my wife and I practically had this tiny, unassuming gem of a restaurant — which during the high season can demand long waits — to ourselves. And what a treat, with wonderfully rustic Portuguese fare enjoyed in the cool autumn air by a centuries-old Roman aqueduct. Be sure to order the mushrooms and the pork cheeks.

Vinho e Noz

Reviewed By Cuach

Nice ambience in what feels like a family-run restaurant. For starters we had the tuna pate, the black pig blood sausage and the olives. The sausage is really good. For mains we shared two pork dishes: the casserole with chestnuts and the black pork fried steak. Both great with chestnut dish winning between the two. Decent bottle of wine and with dessert, all very good value.

Restaurante O Parque Dos Leitoes Evora

Reviewed By coolcookingteacher

Just around corner from our hotel so why wouldn’t we book here?? Typically Portuguese, arrived to table full of starters, you choose the plates you want and rest are taken away. Service impeccable. I chose suckling pig and slightly disappointed at leathery crackling. Husband’s veal steak quite perfect. I explained to waiter re crackling, he was very apologetic and brought further crackling and pork to me, which I didn’t really need but appreciated the gesture. Everything excellent, lovely meringue dessert we shared made locally and bill under 60e quite outstanding. Boa noite , agradecemos a sua avaliação ,serão sempre bem vindos ao nosso restaurante. Obrigado

Made reservations and were confirmed by email in August and again the day of the reservation. 13 guests arrived. Owner welcomes us, thanked us, and said we would be treated like family. Handed out menus. Some other guests came in and suddenly he forgot we had a reservation and told us that he would not serve us and kicked us out. Restaurant was very small and overly warm. We left and went elsewhere. Spent 100’s and 100’s of euros elsewhere. Much food and wine. We were very happy with our food and service. Sat outside and enjoyed the weather and the initiation of the freshmen of the university. THANKS FOR KICKING US OUT!First of all I never accepted reservations by Facebook because that is not the official account. That account is manegemenging by a relative of my which never give me the feedback. My official account is on the TRIPADVISOR or on my website page on Google Business.I am a very hard worker man and I treat every customer like my best friend. Ivm not rude. I explained to you but you didn't believe me. Like you said "I'll be made a bad reviews about you on your TripAdvisor page" and you did it, so know you are Happy for sure, because your 'revenge' is complete and you didn't spoke with me before. It's the human nature.. For THOSE WHO ARE READING THIS REVIEW, NEVER MAKE RESERVATIONS BY FACEBOOK.

Terceiro Tempo

O serão, o pitéu e a pinga! / The evening, the tapas and the drinks! The place to experience good food (traditional and not) and good wine (from north to south of Portugal) Reservas apenas online. Online reservations only.

Reviewed By Stewart M

Every dish is wonderful and extremely well priced. We loved it so much we went back again 3 days later. You will experience flavours you have never had before. I’m not a foodie but this stuff is good. $5-8 euros for most of the share plates. 3 dishes and a bottle of wine about $40 euros. Very reasonable. This guy should be on one of those Master Chef shows. He’s a genius with food.

Arrive hungry, don’t even consider breakfast, have one coffee and a litre of water then prepare yourself for a feast.You MUST book, whilst sitting in the restaurant they turned about 10 people away because they were full.The food just comes at you, no choice, which, sometimes is a blessing, it was all great, it was all unsophisticated but all delicious, the green sludgy looking thing Is not to be missed, amazing, made with Coriander, garlic, bread, vegetables olive oil and a bit of vinegar, the neck of black pork, cooked for 3 hours in wine and herbs fell off the bone and was scrumptious. To start, a compendium of local tastes that include what can only be described as a mini Swiss fondue (I could have eaten just that to be honest). Jao who runs the place is utterly charming and will look after you. This ain’t fine dining in the biblical sense but you must go here.

Reviewed By MathieuBZ

No booking possible, the first arrived will be the lucky ones. Such therefore means you need to get there at least 30 minutes before restaurant opens.Once in, you'll have a pleasant moment, having nice dishes from Alentejo mostly about meat; probably discussing with few other customers surrounding you.That said, experience was very good but not amazing given food which was not reaching sky and prices remaining rather high.
