European Restaurants in Evora, PT

“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.“

“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,“

“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“

“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!!!“

“A great restaurant in Évora, quite hidden, you have to climb a few stairs to get to it. Inside it has a cozy decor giving the feeling of being in a grandmother's house.

The waitress was 5*, very friendly, always asking if we needed anything and always ready to clarify everything. And he even gave the recipe for the fantastic Lima mousse.

The food is very good and very well prepared, we also had the pleasure of meeting the cook who was a fantastic woman.

I recommend the Garlic Trench, Lime Mousse and the Condensed Milk Cheesecake.

Unfortunately I didn't take any photos, as I was very hungry, but I will go back to try other dishes again.“

“Wonderful experience at Botequim da Mouraria. We arrived 15 minutes before opening and secured a cozy spot. We tried a few dishes, each delicately flavored and absolutely delicious. The portions were generous and satisfying. It was a lovely way to end our trip to Evora.“

“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.“

“Good place to eat. It is medium price and normal quantity but very good food. Picapau, cod and Portuguese-style meat, delicious.
The place is very cool and quiet.
The service was a bit slow, it took them a long time to serve.“

“Great quality for the price you’re paying. Not many options to choose from, but if you want to try Alentejo’s traditional food without spending a fortune, that’s the place you’re looking for.
When I was there the place was full of locals and the owner was very friendly ?

Parking: City center - hard to find parking. Not expensive though.

Kid-friendliness: The place is very small, but with a bit of luck you might find a spot to park your kid’s stroller.“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“It's a very nice burger spot, I can't deny it. The burger is delicious, but it feels like a bit undercooked. They were too shy to ask how we wanted it, like they were afraid to get too personal. For the buns, they could use a little excitement. They were a bit boring. As for the fries, they're amazing with that aromatic seasoning, but they were a bit too oily. Maybe they could search YouTube for "how to get rid of excessive oil." Overall, I liked it! It's definitely worth a try ?.“

“Simply exceptional!! Alexa served us (Amazon has nothing to do with it...) she speaks Italian very well and is truly a lovely person, if you go ask for her. We ate very well, to enjoy more things he recommended half portions, which are not half portions, far from it!!! Too bad we only stayed in Evora for one day. Insignificant prices. Well done.“

“Another pleasant surprise in Évora. Mr Oliveira's friendliness and extremely well prepared and tasty food. 12 seats only. Without reservation, impossible. At the entrance, a sheep's cheese of the Gods and a partridge pie. Main dishes include shrimp with green herbs - souflê (champion of the day), cod and lamb with potatoes. All accompanied by a 15° red from Tiago Cabaço, from the tasty Alicante Boushet grape.“

“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!“

“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“

“(Translated by Google) Large portions, filling and delicious! A compliment from the establishment is delicious sheep cheese, olives and bread. The food came out quickly! The staff is calm and attentive!(Original)Большие порции, сытно и вкусно! Комплимент от заведения вкусный овечий сыр, оливки и хлеб. Быстро вынесли блюда! Персонал спокойный и внимательный!“

“The food is very good and you don't pay much

Kid-friendliness: Food that children really like, for example steaks

Wheelchair accessibility: If I'm not mistaken, there is a place where they can enter.“

“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.“

“The food was good, and there was a wide selection of vegan dishes. Most of the desserts were also vegan, and the cake tasted great. You can either fill a small plate once (7.50€) or weigh a large plate (18.50€/kg). The owner was extremely friendly and gladly explained everything about the dishes, mentioning which ones were vegan.“

“Great little local cafe! We had lunch there and had a great time. The dishes are good, plentiful and inexpensive. The owner is adorable, and even though she doesn't speak English well, she knows how to make herself understood. 15€ for a sandwich, a local cassoulet, a coke and a huge glass of wine. We were full! If you want to taste good typical Portuguese dishes, don't hesitate!“

“I recently had the opportunity to visit Dona kebab Ali Baba and I must say it was a good experience. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the welcoming atmosphere. The decor was charming and the atmosphere relaxing, which provided a perfect setting to enjoy a meal.As for the food, I couldn't be happier. Each dish I tried was an explosion of flavor, expertly prepared with fresh ingredients. The variety of dishes available ensured that there was something for everyone, from traditional options to more innovative dishes. the flavors were authentic and delicious.The service was also impeccable. The staff were attentive, helpful and professional, ensuring that all of our needs were met throughout our meal. I truly felt cared for and valued as a customer.Overall, my experience at Ali Baba was pleasant, a good establishment to spend time with friends and family.“

“We stopped for dinner on Sunday evening, the food was truly delicious and the place was very nice and clean. It is a place where typical dishes and products from the area are served. The portions are very generous. The menu is available in English, French and Spanish, as well as Portuguese of course. The typical dishes of the day are only listed on the Portuguese menu so I recommend you take a look at it and ask the waiters for information, the staff is very kind and helpful, they speak English and understand Italian. It was a truly pleasant experience and we recommend it.“

“Best Alentejo soups!!! Delight!!
Cooks Clara and Paula, thank you for the flavor and love in your cooking!?
I advise everyone to try it.
Service was spectacular and with a lot of joy and friendliness. With sertesa my family will return. Ah.. we also really like house wine. Thank you very much!!?
Compliments. Olga“

“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.“

“We went for lunch as a family, there were 5 of us, we ate octopus feijoada and veal and chicken bites. The food was really tasty and well served, the price was quite fair in relation to the quality. I thought the service wasn't very friendly, and there was only one person serving/lifting/taking care of the lunch room.
Taking everything into account, I rate it 4 stars because the service could be better, the food is really good and I recommend visiting.“

“If you like stew, this is your place.
Small place with 4 tables, where you don't have to bother ordering anything other than the drink.
It is a homemade food place where they serve a Portuguese stew of chickpeas, pasta and vegetables with a good exquisite broth. Then the sacraments, chorizo, blood sausage, bacon and meat are served. Afterwards there is usually fruit and coffee for €12 per person, without a doubt a cheap place to eat well.“

“Fantastic concept. Excellent flavors with careful preparation.
Careful treatment of food results in fantastic and tasty dishes. Good organic wines Z
Experience to repeat.

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Amazing food and an amazing experience! The chef came to our table and was thorough when explaining each dish to us. The presentation was also impeccable and it was by far one of the culinary highlights of our trip to Portugal. The seasoned mushrooms, pear salad, and pork cheek / filet duet were all personal favorites!“

“We visited by chance and what a great experience it turned out to be! The aunt's friendliness and the cozy feel of the restaurant made us fans. He didn't deny us food when we arrived long after dinner time! And what incredible food.“

“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!“

“At the end of a tour of Évora, we looked for several restaurants and the service was not good in any of them, until we found this find on Rua do Aqueduto.
The food is delicious, the service is 10/10 and at an incredible price (average of 13.50 euros per dish).
Have no doubt, this is one of the best restaurants in the city!“

“Cantinho da Tété in Évora is a gastronomic gem run by a charming couple. Their warm welcome and their passion for cooking create a friendly and authentic atmosphere. The dishes, prepared with fresh, local ingredients, reflect the rich culinary tradition of the Alentejo region. Every bite is a delight, with perfectly balanced flavors and careful presentations. The service is impeccable, with particular attention paid to every detail. Whether for a leisurely breakfast or a small lunch, Cantinho da Tété offers an unforgettable experience that embodies the essence of Portuguese hospitality. We went there 3 times! Perfect and fresh little meals. Don't miss out on tasting the gazpacho (Alentejo version)! Thanks again to Sandra and Riu for sharing local traditions and great discussions!“

“I enjoyed having lunch there... It's a reasonable, calm and pleasant place.

There isn't much time to wait for lunch, which is good... And the best thing of all is that you feel like you're eating at home, as the food, from what I understand, is prepared by elderly women and super friendly, they come to the table to see if everything is ok and if you like the food; homemade food!????✅☀️???????“

“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.“

“When we were leaving Evora without being able to eat because we were traveling with a dog, we discovered the Rei dos Frangos. It surprised us with its friendliness, delicious chicken, very correct prices, very good value for money. Totally recommended.“

“(Translated by Google) Very nice atmosphere to have a drink and relax. Good music. Quite busy. Good prices for a glass of wine.(Original)Atmosfera muito agradável para beber um copo e relaxar. Boa música. Bastante movimentado. Bons preços por um copo de vinho.“

“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.“

“(Translated by Google) Good place to have a good breakfast, drink a coffee at night, it has a large terrace, friendly staff ...(Original)Bom local para tomar um bom pequeno almoço, beber um café á noite, tem uma grande esplanada, funcionárias simpáticas ...“

“(Translated by Google) How good it is to go to a place where they know how we like to drink our coffee with friendliness and always with a smile.(Original)Como é bom ir à um lugar onde sabem como gostamos de beber o nosso café com simpatia e sempre com um sorriso“

“(Translated by Google) Simply wonderful... The space, the view from the top with that pool, the location, the staff... I recommend it to anyone.(Original)Simplesmente maravilhoso... O espaço, a vista do topo com aquela piscina, a localização, o staff... A quem poder recomendo.“

“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.“

“The food was amazing but it was a bit annoying that we were not charged what was on the board. We had the black pork which was DELICIOUS but was listed as €12 and we were charged 17. A bottle of wine was listed as 3.50, and we were charged 15. It was worth what we paid, but no one likes to feel they've been taken for a ride : go, enjoy the food, buy check the bill.“
