This restaurant is along the main street in front of the castle, near the main square. The street…read moreis lined with orange trees, and looking up at the castle under the blue sky makes for a very picturesque view. At first I thought a restaurant at such prime location must be touristy, but it's in fact a local favorite that has been around since 1950. We were the only tourists in the dining room! And the locals, from the waitstaff to fellow diners, are all more than happy to share their culture and help explain the menu. Their menu is really extensive, and there is even a vegetarian section too, a rarity in Portugal. We enjoyed a very delicious melon w prosciutto: the sweet fruit is a perfect complement to the savory ham, followed by carré de borrego, rack of lamb, that was perfectly done, tender inside and crispy outside, alone with some delightful sides. For dessert we follow our next door's neighbor advice and got the tiborna, a local specialty, a small gem of a cake wrapped in paper dollie and tied with a ribbon. A wonderful experience through and through.

Dang! One of those meals I keep replaying in my daydreams. There were four of us eating. We had…read morefish, crab and razor clams. Raw fish is brought to your table for approval. The first crab was too big (I think it was 40 euros. The second crab, about 3/4 kilo was approved. The fish, the same way, they brought more than we thought would eat so we agreed on a smaller amount. The razor clams, had to be a kilo or a half kilo, I forget. The razor clams, cigar style we served having been grilled. They were good,served with dipping butter. The crab came in the shell with a wooden plank and a mallet to break it. The breaking caused a fair amount of splatter and I don't think that I would order the crab again. The fish was excellent, on my top 10 list. Service was excellent. Dinner for 4 around 100 Euros. I could eat here once a week or more. They're on my I'll be back list.

We tried coming back for dinner, waiting a bit for its door to open. The owner told us they were quite full, but managed to squeeze us in at a small table near the restroom. The owner is really nice, checking on us throughout the meal, apologizing for not giving us better seats, while we were thankful enough to have a table! After all, this place is the #1 restaurant in Estremoz on other review sites with solid 5 stars, they can totally act snobby with two tourists who weren't even ordering fancy dishes, but the owner was still super friendly like we were old regulars. As expected, the food was delicious. Having read other reviews, we knew the portions are huge, so we ordered the half portions, which still came out more than what we could finish. The secretos pork fillet was so delicious, and the seafood rice was loaded with ingredients too. We so wish our stay in Estremoz was longer so we could be back for more.

It's a small restaurant and reviews all said to have a reservation but we lucked out!

The food was incredible, loved everything about this town and our unique and memorable lunch in Évora!

This inconspicuous place is found on a tiny street a few blocks off the main drag. The only way i…read morewas able to find it was Yelp. 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!
