50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Canaviais

“It’s really good especially considering it’s a hotel restaurant. You can’t beat the exterior and ambiance. Beautiful arches! The service is fantastic, so fantastic. The food is on the higher end price wise but also quality wise. Everything we had was delicious. The porco preto basically melted in my mouth. I don’t like meringue but their dessert was beautiful, interactive, and not too sweet. It was honestly a great meal even though we were exhausted that night. We had the red wine that’s made there, and it was very good. They also gave us glasses of champagne that’s made there (well sparkling wine) which is our favorite way to start a meal! Even better we were able to bring what we couldn’t finish to our room.“

“We happened across Boca do Mar while exploring São Martinho do Porto and it was a good experience overall. The restaurant was quite barren due to bad weather, but the service and food did not lack. We shared two dishes for lunch: the first was a tamboril (monkfish) and shrimp skewer, and the second an octopus salad. The skewer was packed with seafood, peppers & onions, and served with a generous side of potatoes, carrots, beans, broccoli and cauliflower. The octopus salad was both flavorful and plentiful and, although an appetizer, more than enough for a full meal! The service was attentive and kind. We would return again the next time we are in the area.“

“My wife and I arrived in Evora after driving from Lisbon. After getting settled we were hungry after having only yogurt for breakfast. The 1st rwo places we tried were closed so we wandered till we located 9 da Praca. What a find! Our server/ owner I'm guessing was very friendly and when I tried to order 3 items for myself she told me that was too much food. She was right. Everything was delicious, service was perfect and the prices reasonable. I had hoped to dine there the next day but she advised that they would be closed. Loved her and the place“

“Outstanding choice. Perfect location as it is walking distance from the old town in Evora The atmosphere is clean and simple tavern style. The service is perfect. The restaurant is owned by husband and wife team that ventured into their own venue during Covid. You can’t miss having a great time and eating out of the ordinary. Enjoy!“

“Fantastic! With no choice (and thank goodness), we were served authentic wonders, from dates with bacon to beef tongue sandwiches and even the best pudding, which was made from mountain cheese!!!! This cozy space has a different concept, as the menu changes daily according to fresh local products! A true gem in Évora! I will come back as often as possible!
Reservation in advance mandatory.
More than fair price for the quantity and quality presented!!!“

“Tasty dinner, the concept of the place is sharing, we took mushrooms sautéed with onion and garlic, veal with pepper, cod (they were also spiced bruschetta with garlic, onion and vinegar), roasted prawns and to finish instead of dessert we chose figs with ham and basil.
Everything was excellent, dishes cooked with passion, an environment suitable for couples or special dinners. Nice environment, friendly staff“

“We did the menu 5 momentos + wine pairing and it was so worth it. All of the dishes were delicious and the staff choices of wine were spot on. The staff service was excellent and super knowledgeable about wine and the region of Alentejo. We will definitely come back! Thank you :)“

“Incredible service and food, excellent food quality/price,
BUT €5.80 FOR AN IMPERIAL AND €3 FOR FILTERED TAP WATER?
A 33cl bottle of water in the biggest nightclub in Lisbon costs €2 and an imperial bottle costs €4, which is no justification for such inflation.“

“The food was very good but a language barrier caused an issue with one of our orders. Something lost in the communication with our server. Server removed a sauce from an order when NO such instructions were given. We simply pointed to the entrees we wanted on the menu.“

“It was a great opportunity to experience traditional Portuguese home cooking. The service, especially from the staff, was pleasant and good.

I experienced Grandma Secret and Tomato Soup, recommended traditional dishes whose names I can't remember.
It felt salty, but it was still worth enjoying.
It was especially nice to be able to order 1/2 the main dish.“

“Menu for a terrible QRCode. A person wants to be relaxed when choosing what to have for dinner, and they have to be tied to their cell phone... What's worse is that it's poorly organized, you can't understand anything and it's also very slow to load!“

“Loved everything! The meet was excellent!! It was my boyfriend birthday and the brought him a nice little cake with a little candle on it and all the restaurant sang happy birthday song out loud.
Super suggest :)
Thanks for the excellent service“

“This place was super yummy and one of my favorite places we ate at while in Portugal. I had the cauliflower steak, and it was delicious! I also had the vegan cheesecake which had a jello-like texture, but it still tasted good. Updated from previous review on 2025-07-20“

“We were here as a family on our last day in Evora and we regretted saying goodbye to this city even more after this visit. The meals were really tasty and extremely filling. The tuna is a poem! The wine recommendation was also extremely tasty. After a not so good experience with a restaurant in the Alcarcova de Baixo restaurant alley, we ignored the statement in our guide that the eating places around the old market hall weren't that great and didn't regret it!“

“Homemade food, very delicious and abundant. Maybe we were guilty of gluttony and there was food left over.

We ordered the cod with spinach and a combination plate of pork fillet with delicious fries, egg, rice and salad.

The attention of 10, very friendly.“

“We went on recommendation from Google. Typical food from Évora, I particularly liked the partridge preparation. The waiter was very helpful and explained some dishes that we were unfamiliar with. The restaurant is well maintained. We made a reservation. I just didn't like the place where we stayed, in the basement, I would have preferred to have stayed on the top floor (ground floor) but at the moment I didn't say my preference. Fair prices for the service, minus water at €4. The value of the prepared dishes is fair!????and the egg sweets, recommended by the attendant, were really worth discovering!“

“I highly recommend it! The terrace is wonderful and the service is incredible. We ordered black pork feathers with homemade fries and cod crumbs with prawns and everything was divine. The desserts are a dream too. The only problem is choosing!! :) perfect.
The girl who served us was also a plus for her friendliness! Thanks.“

“Great experience and location! The house rose was delicious. The host was so friendly and gave us many winery recommendations. My husband had the pork cheeks and I had the grilled chicken with demi-glace, both were cooked perfectly and very tasty. We will return when back in Évora!“

“Para começar, fui super bem recebido! Achei o espaço harmonioso e muito acolhedor, a equipa é fantástica, simpáticos, bem dispostos e amáveis! Os hambúrgueres? Ahhhhh… essa foi a melhor parte! Sem duvida os melhores de Évora.. os melhores hambúrgueres do mundo! Pelo menos os que já comi! Mega saborosos, fenomenais, divinais MESMO! Acompanhei com uma limonada caseira de Limão e frutos vermelhos, parecia mais um néctar, mas um néctar dos deuses! Para terminar em beleza, uma sobremesa diferente, realmente diferente! Uma fatia de um bolo de Bolota, dá para acreditar? Realmente TOP! Recomendo a 100%!! Obrigado por esta experiência!“

“The place is intimate and inviting. The options proposed were very interesting and unique, with lots of vegetable, mushrooms, vegan cheese, tofu, beans. The chef was quite creative and made us something new. Overall it was a great experience.“

“I’ve visited a few really good restaurants around the region and hibrido is the most exciting. I was shook by the way the chef cook and was curious why is he not featured in the Michelin guide. The way that he execute the dishes was exceptional, brave and a good balance. If you’re looking to try portugese food, this is a place you HAVE to come. It’s not fine dining but it’s fine dining standard. I can see the restaurant making it big in the long run! Kudos to the chef.“

“A very popular restaurant, subject to reservations, with very tasty Alentejo food, made with quality products such as meat, cheese, olives, olive oil, wine and even bread for the migas that accompany almost everything. Good atmosphere, interesting decor. On the back wall there is an oven and in front is the restaurant room, which in the past, when the oven was used, was called a porch. I think this is the origin of the name. Decorated with objects formerly used in agriculture and for use in the oven. Very interesting“

“I stopped by for lunch and was the only person in the place for most of my meal. The food and wine were lovely. The gentleman who served me kind and charming. However, I walked out after paying dinner time prices for a dinner meal at lunchtime. 36€ for an entree, glass of wine and water.

Would highly recommend for dinner (not lunch) and definitely make reservations!“

“Very good and simple restaurant. Delicious food and the price is also good. There are several options as daily dishes, but there are also other options on the menu. The white house wine is delicious. Every time I've been I've had an excellent experience. Luis (attendant) is friendly. It takes a little longer than other restaurants, but the food is made to order.

Parking: There is paid parking around. But you don't pay on Sundays. You can find free parking nearby too.“

“Today I had a wonderful experience. I got to know the restaurant Moagem, the owners, Mr. João Maria who was responsible for serving the tables and who served my dears and Mrs. Natália responsible for the kitchen. And what MA-RA-VI-LHO-SA food, I felt like home, my grandmother's house, my mother's house, the food and the service moved me.A couple with 10-star friendliness.I will definitely be back and I will definitely recommend it.“

“Very nice place, the terrace is great under the 2 huge mimosa trees. I had some crepes with ham and cheese, which would’ve been top if the dough was salty. My wife got a tasty toasted sandwich with ham and cheese.The service was slow, the staff was overwhelmed by the number of orders and a bit lost between who ordered what, but always with the smile on ?.Overall nice experience.“

“I loved the space, beautiful, clean and welcoming. The service is 5 stars! Friendly and available.
The red fruit sangria on a 38° day was wonderful ?.
The pizzas are excellent. The extremely thin dough lets the quality of the ingredients shine.
The pasta dish was fresh and light.
The quantity served is generous.
Several dishes that allow vegetarians to choose.
The coffee is excellent.

We will return, without any doubt!
I recommend!“

“I went to Alkimia for the first time and after seeing the rest of the reviews, my expectations were high. But even my high expectations were exceeded. The food was very good!!! I ordered the black swordfish fillets and my companion ordered the octopus. Divinely seasoned fish and soft octopus that melted in your mouth. The desserts were also splendid. A chocolate petit gateau (which unfortunately I didn't get to try ?) and a tangerine ice cream with a delicious flavor. At the end we were honored with the offer of a poncha that helped finish the meal. My congratulations to the chef and the rest of the staff for the attention and kindness they gave us and for the professionalism with which they welcomed us. We will definitely be back to try the rest of the dishes!“

“We had an enjoyable dinner. The staff really hustle to keep the food moving and drinks filled. All the dishes we had were of high quality, and enjoyable. The Mel e Noz cake was probably the best I’ve had. Service was a little slow in the beginning, but improved as the night continues. When considering the number of wait staff and tables, I felt the kitchen and staff performed excellent. Obrigado por tudo.“

“While visiting Évora and after researching where to have lunch, this restaurant appeared and we looked for it and we were very satisfied with its appearance, friendliness and an excellent lunch. cod with cream or house-made veal and even the bitoque for the kid, everything was impeccable and served well, the desserts were also very good, mousse and the famous house sweet, I recommend this very welcoming restaurant, we will be back soon.“

“The breakfast buffet was delicious, and it was included with the hotel room, so If you stay in the hotel, be sure to go to the breakfast. It wasn’t too crowded and they had a lot of options to choose from, all in all it was a pretty nice restaurant.“

“Rare place in Portugal where vegetarians and carnivores can happily dine together! Albeit, only a few veg options (risotto, stroganoff) but they were excellent. Team service was good (good hustle by the servers) but at times this came off as annoyance.“

“Lovely place. Walls with tiles decorated in the style of the region and other details that give it a very cozy vintage tavern-local style. Attentive service and well-cooked local food with a half-portion option on the tourist menu, sufficient and very interesting. In addition, it is very close to Giraldo “

“Excellent innovative cuisine. There is a 6 and 9 course menu. We enjoyed the 6 course menu (and regretted not taking the 9 couse!) . The good is fine, fresh and local. The chef is young and very talented. Our waitress was professional and very kind and the place very cosy. Well worth a visit!“

“The small cafe, located in one of Evora's small side streets, has very good coffee and a wonderful selection of delicious tarts (both sweet and savory).
During our visit at the end of April, we were able to sit outside in the quiet square with large trees and enjoy the late afternoon sun.
The service was very friendly and attentive.“

“(Translated by Google) On a Tuesday night, not so late (most well-reviewed bars only open late at night for exhausted tourists, lol) it was the liveliest bar found. Great prices on drinks and food, excellent burger…great service(Original)Numa noite de terça feira , não tão tarde (maioria dos bares bem avaliados só abrem tarde da noite para turistas exaustos, rs ) foi o bar mais animado encontrado. Ótimos preços de bebidas e comidas, excelente hambúrguer…ótimo atendimento“

“We were enormously impressed by the food - wonderfully cooked pasta with delicious and imaginative toppings, beautifully cooked meat of great quality, and an amazing selection of dolce one of which - the Lava Cake - was outstanding. The chef is Portuguese, the waiters very personable, the decor beautiful, and the setting by the sea perfect. 11/10 if this was possible.“

“Four of us ate here 2 nights running, We can't say enough good things about the food or the service. The food was good, staff very friendly, especially Ines who was extremely friendly and attentive, nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend and will return in the future.“

“An incredible restaurant, with service that makes us feel at home. The dishes are very well served, with a typical Alentejo quality. The desserts are varied, but we highlight the soaked and the golden soup, which perfectly concluded our lunch! We couldn't recommend it more.“

“food memorable- we got the pea soup-fresh peas red onion/chorizio crisp sprig cilantro and greens- creme brulee' with cheese 'icecream'. our drinks were over the top The best kuddos go to out server Ivo- such and great personality and professional presence Thankyou for our evening“

“Great restaurant. We arrived without making a reservation, but we were very well looked after. It turned out that a table quickly vacated and we didn't even have to leave and come back. The lady who served us from counter to table was super friendly. The restaurant is a find, as it is a little away from the restaurants near Évora's central square. But, it is very close to our hotel.“

“I read about this place before our trip, but due to its high stellar reviews, I was doubtful we would be able to get in. One evening we planned on eating at nearby restaurant but found out they were closed for renovations. We walked past Taberna dos Mercadores and realized there was only one group in line, so we decided to wait. Our wait was about 30 minutes until we were seated inside. As others have mentioned this place is small, maybe 10-15 tables. The service was great, the whole place being ran by 2 waiters, 1 chef and 1 kitchen assistant. It was like a well-oiled machine, I really enjoyed watching the chef cook. We had the garlic shrimp as an appetizer and then I had the octopus rice and my boyfriend had the ribs with sausage rice. It was A LOT of food, and I felt bad not being able to finish it all, but the food was spectacular. The best meal I had in Portugal and even one of the best meals I have had in my life. By the time we left, the line was quite long. So, if you want to try to get in, come early, and come hungry,“

“A very pleasant dinner, in a very peaceful and well decorated environment. The cover with Alentejo bread, sheep's cheese and local olive oil was great! We tried several dishes, highlighting the Alentejo Açorda, the octopus and the tenderloin with almond crust!“

“What a lovely place in Evora!! We went here for diner during our short 1.5 day visit to the city. We ordered the cheese plate and a few of the tapas like dishes on the menu. Great combination! We ordered a bit too much so unfortunately had no room anymore for some desserts...“

“A restaurant where Vattern is at the front keeping the locals happy and Muttern is in the kitchen preparing Alentejo delicacies. Not a fancy-schmancy temple, but a restaurant mostly visited by locals. Everything was very clean and friendly service.
There is no menu, everything is handwritten on a blackboard. However, the Google Translator couldn't handle the handwriting. So I just ordered carne de porco, batatas fritas and salad and 1/2 liter of Vino Tinto. And then the plate came... in addition to salad and batatas, it was filled with 5 pieces of meat, of which I couldn't have said which piece of the pig they came from because of the shape. But one thing I can say is that it was the tastiest pork I've ever eaten in my life. As a sobremesa there was a huge piece of delicious cake and afterwards I was so full that I called a taxi. The whole feast cost €20.“

“I already had it at Martinho about a year and a half ago (in a 4-day stay in Évora we came here to eat 3 times) and on this new visit to Évora we had to go back!
Once again, well served and the food is still great!
The waiting time never bothered us firstly because we are on vacation, secondly because all the food is made fresh and makes up for the waiting time! The dishes we ordered didn't come with rice as an accompaniment but we were immediately told that they could make it on the spot and that was it! The tomato soup is very good and the meat is of very good quality and well cooked!
Without a doubt, it was a “find” where you can eat very well and at an affordable price!
We will definitely be back! ?“
