Description:
Évora's most atmospheric restaurant is hidden away on a narrow side street leading down from Praça do Giraldo. Rustic decorations include old pots, blunderbusses, standing lamps, a grandfather clock, and kettles hanging from the ceiling. Seating is in rush chairs or on divans. You can enjoy such well-prepared dishes as gazpacho Alentejana (a summer-only treat) and fresh fried fish with tomato sauce and garlic, which is available year-round. A specialty is acorn-sweetened roast pork. Desserts are homemade daily, or else you can top off your meal with a selection of regional cheese. The chefs elevate local dishes to another level with the use of seasonings and market-fresh ingredients. A bottle of Borba wine is a good complement to most meals.
