We were looking for a shady place for lunch in Evora since it was over 90 degrees F in late…read moreSeptember. We checked out a few places along this street and the picture menu sold us - it really helped us see what they had to offer. Also their prices were a bit cheaper than other spots nearby. We got a nice outside table and our drinks came quickly but then everything ground to a halt. There was one waiter for a dozen or more tables. We waited close to 45 minutes for our food. The omelets were good but the traditional "meal" sausage was not to my liking. I think it was not cured and thus it had a very mushy consistency that I found gross. The flavor was OK but it was just not my thing. That happens sometimes when you travel... Of course trying to get and pay the bill was another challenge. We had been in the country two weeks and this was only the second time service was glacially slow.

It's a small restaurant and reviews all said to have a reservation but we lucked out! We loved the set menu experience and especially enjoyed all the unique dishes prepared with local and seasonal ingredients! Each dish was explained in perfect English by our waitress too.

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.

When we arrived we had the place to ourselves and sat at the deuce in the window. We sampled quite a few items. The roasted peppers, fabulous mushrooms with ham, and green salad. The entrees were spareribs and lamb chops. The spare ribs were wonderful. Both came with French fries. A local red wine completed the meal. And for dessert, we had a cheese torte. The service was friendly even though he couldn't speak English and we cheated using the Google Translate app to "read" the menu. The total tab was just over 50 euros. This place is absolutely delightful! Certainly one of the best meals in Portugal.
