We had olives and bread to start for appetizers. For the main courses, I can't say what they were in Portuguese, but one was the pork and the other was the Bacalhau à Brás. Both were truly amazing. We finished with an egg-custard type dessert, again, not sure on the name. If you stumble across this little gem, ask the owner to just take care of you and you will not be disappointed. A very full and complete meal for two, and it certainly didn't break the bank.

We ordered the mushrooms, and garlic shrimp for starters (must have bread to soak up the rich drippings. For dinner we ordered the Pork Cheek and Tornedo (filet of beef) both were perfectly prepared and so tender. The dessert of the day which was a poached pear and vanilla ice cream was light and a nice finish. If you are looking for exquisite dining in a cozy and welcoming setting (12 tables) come and eat at this establishment which is ran by a mother (Chef) & son (Host & Server) team. I'd also recommend making a reservation on their website.

This was some of the best food we had since our visit to Portugal. Absolutely outstanding! 5+stars.read more

One of the best restaurant meals I've had in my life and definitely the best meal my girlfriend and…read moreI had in our two weeks in Portugal. Let me first say that my main dish was only reasonably good. I believe it was hare stew. However, the cold soup gazpacho was the best soup I've had in my life! It was very different from other gazpachos I've had. It was quite fruity. My girlfriend loved it also. Oddly, it was served with sliced of smoked ham and sausage on the side. These were probably the best meat I've had in my life! They were very moist and flavorful. For desert I had a slice of cake with crushed walnuts and a coconut topping. Probably among the top 20 deserts I've had in my life. And it deserves extra acclaim because it was unusual (apparently this type of cake is even quite rare in Portugal, according to our waiter). My girlfriend liked her main dish of pork cheeks in a stew. The wine my girlfriend ordered was quite good. The main dishes were substantial in size and the waiter told us we could ask for more of them if we wanted (maybe this was because we were at the end of lunch -- but I would guess not). Service was good -- the waiter knew English. Prices were quite reasonable. If I recall correctly the bill with my ordering water was around 45 euro. Incredible for the quality of the food. I'd say anyone who is serious about food, lives within 200 miles, and has a way of visiting the restaurant, should do so. It would be worth the trip.

We found this in a couple of tour books and were able to secure a reservation through some broken Spanish since our Portuguese was so poor as was their English. It is a very cute space and felt very typical for Evora. The waiter was trying his best to serve everyone as he passed around the only English menu to all of the tables (it appeared that was the common language of most patrons). Their specialty is soup so we tried the tomato soup which was very good. The garlic soup with the cod was not so good - actually a bit bland. I tried the black pork and it was almost inedible it was so tough and dry - it looked much more moist in the pictures. So a bit of a mixed bag.

My companions were a bit dubious as we walked about 8 minutes to get there. We arrived for a late lunch and the waiter said that he could accommodate us only because he had some cancellations. He also said that there was no menu and we would be getting what was served. He also said that the ladies in our group would order the drinks and we would be paying. We doubled down. This is a quant family run restaurant. The chef is the son of the founder and the waiter is his son. They are lovely people with a great sense of humor. It's pointless for me to comment on specific dishes but there were maybe 16 plates. Pro Tip: No, they do not accommodate vegetarians. There was Black Pork(Jamon Iberico dummy) Beef, Veal. Crispy, braised, stewed.... There was a mystery Slider. When we thought they were done, they brought more plates. Oh, and There was a dessert plate with 7-8 Things on it. It was about 55 euro with drinks per person. One of my top 10 dining experiences ever!
