We got the pork and clams (always delicious but more so in the Alentejo region of Portugal), and a beef dish made with honey and wine. A bit strong for my taste but good nonetheless.

We sat outside under the umbrellas right off a narrow street and watched people walk by. The weather was perfect and the food was great. My friend ordered the pork with wine and honey and she said it was very tasty. I ordered the codfish fritters (2 in an order) which were nicely cooked and the fried cuttlefish with fries. They came out like fish fingers but were so tasty. Perfect for lunch. Cuttlefish is in the family of squid and octopus, so it has that same texture. It was fried perfectly and very soft. Definitely worth a stop at this restaurant!

The octopus was perfectly cooked and the sauce flavors were perfect. My wife had the pork loin with cauliflower/egg scramble. But that name hardly adequate to describe how yummy that was.

The tables are nicely set and well spaced so you can have a good conversation with your companion. This was the 1st restaurant we tried during our month's vacation and it is undoubtedly one of the best. The dining room had a nice warmth and coziness to it. They were very busy the evening that we were there but the service was very good. There is a huge couvert on the table when we were seated. We declined the couvert as there was simply too much food on it. I had the roast suckling pork and it definitely lived up to expectations. The skin was nice and crispy but the pork itself was so tender, moist and full of flavour. It's one of the best dishes that I've ever had. My husband had lamb shank and he was as impressed with his meal as I was with mine. We had a 1/2 bottle of wine with our meal and we finished with a mango dessert that had a shortbread crust. At the end of our meal a gentleman (I think he may be the owner) asked if we had enjoyed our meal. During the course of the evening we were talking to another couple who had come to the restaurant a few times during their time in Evora. We were talking about port wine and we mentioned that my husband likes the tawney port but I preferred the ruby port. The gentleman who asked how our meal was gave my husband a tawney port and myself a ruby port. What a great start to our vacation Highly recommended

Evora isn't…read morefamous for roasted pigs but this place doesn't pale in comparison with the ones in cities known for it. The first time we went, I was a little surprised they didn't bring us any sauce. One bite and it felt like asking for sauce would be an insult to the chef. The meat was seasoned perfectly, and it was wonderfully juicy, tender without being mushy, as may happen to suckling pigs. Our waitress was nice enough to subsitute the potato chips with salad, as we are a bit potato'ed out with all thte Portuguese food. The salad came out more colorful than we expected. The second time we went, the waiter brought along some sauce. It was not a black pepper sauce, but mildly spicy. Beside the suckling pig, we tried other dishes from the menu - there's actually quite a good selection. The roated goat and duck rice are both quite delicious as well. The portions are quite substantial. A very important note: there was quite a spread of couvert (starters) at the table, from bread to sliced ham to other warm and cold appetizers. Do note that these are not free - the waiter did ask us which one we would like. The prices for all couvert are listed in the menu, they do cost around 5-7 Euro each, so if you want them all, even if it's just a few bites, it could add up to a pretty penny. Beware of this - couvert is very common in Portuguese restaurants - and don't complain of scams or rip off. For us, we checked the price and let the waiter know which one to keep and which to take away (another reason why we usually turn down couvert - I don't have a good clue if the dish has done more travellng than I did, and would rather order something to be cooked for me.) This is a relatively fancy restuarant, customers seems to dress up and we felt a bit underdressed in ourvery casual travel clothes, though the waitstaff still treated us nicely.

We were disappointed at the time but we found many other restaurants that had good seafood as well. We were traveling with other family members this time and thought this restaurant would be the best places to try pretty much every seafood dishes available in Lisbon and some of the unique foods that we can't get at home. We had barnacles, glass shrimp (it is supposed to have eggs outside the shell but unfortunately we were told the season was over so there were no eggs), spider crab, oysters with caviar, scallops, razor clams, and cheese with bread. My daughter's boyfriend tasted the barnacles for the first time and he loved it. We ended up ordering it twice. Everything was delicious. Everyone enjoyed the food. Excellent service.

We also wanted an authentic Portuguese place and not anything touristy. Be careful what you wish for! We took a number but were almost bypassed as they were calling higher numbers. I got the "matre d's" attention and showed him my number. He spoke no English as could be expected - not an issue! So, he bumped us up to the front of the line. We climbed a long narrow and steep staircase to reach a long narrow hallway with about 20 staff running about and squeezing by each other. Somehow, we found the dining room and our waiter greeted us offering us a choice of tables. Clientele were very well dressed and spoke in Portuguese looking very comfortable. He immediately brought us a huge basket of garlic bread! It was quite a nice atmosphere and reminiscent of an older home with high ceilings. We had trouble ordering from the phone app (as it should be because it was in Portuguese only) so our waiter guided us. No IPA and no wine except moscatel. But this was a cerveseria with no IPA! So we tried two glasses of moscatel- not our favorite as it was much too sweet. We agreed to the garlic shrimp and lazy crab. I asked what it came with and he said nothing and pointed to the garlic bread. I asked about ordering veggies and he said there were none! The crab was fridge cold but would have been better warm. The shrimp could have been tasty if not so salty. It wouldn't have been such a culture shock but it was also very pricey for what is was. I don't regret this experience as I was immersed in Portuguese culture and food. But no veggies is unthinkable! lol

Pastries de Bacalhau - the crust was not brown enough. May be longer time. The stuffing was flavorful but it's more the cod taste than the flavored mash potatoes which I prefer. I actually prefer the other local restaurant I tried the night before better. Caldo Verde - The potatoe part of the soup is great. Perfect viscosity but the flavor is not. It wasn't salty enough but more importantly is the flavor of the veggies and the spicy sausage they supposed to use that makes the soup taste different. Grilled giant pawns - The flavor of the prawns is not as intense as expected and hope to be. The squid ink pasta also lacked of flavor. That's disappointing. With the prawns, they should at least use the prawn shell to make sauce for the pastas. The pasta was tasteless, didn't even use enough garlic and olive oil to flavor it up. Seafood rice - Another disappointment. They used fish, small mussels and little bit of shrimp pieces along with some bigger whole shrimps and mussels. However, the rice was lack of the true seafood flavor that made from shell fish. They also added cilantro which overwhelmed the whatever left of seafood flavor. The lemonade was not a sweet lemonade but sour. Fyi. It's not fair we just went to another restaurant in the neighborhood and everything was so much better but people should know.
