After 12 years as executive chef at Belcanto, José Avillez’s two-Michelin-starred restaurant, David Jesus has found a stage worthy of his talent. In Montemor-o-Novo, he has a more relaxed restaurant and a more exclusive, gastronomic one. There, he offers two tasting menus: the shorter one focuses on the Alentejo, while the longer one explores the culinary heritage of maritime voyages. A Michelin star is likely on the way.
Tue-Sat 1:00 PM-3:00 PM, 7:00 PM-10:00 PM.
Sem-Fim
The space is atypical and picturesque, a former olive oil press converted into a restaurant. That alone could be worth the visit, but the food, typically Alentejan, is also very good. On the walls, you’ll often find art exhibitions because Sem-Fim is also a gallery.
Thu-Tue 11:00 AM-12:00 AM.
Sabores de Monsaraz
The view of the Alqueva reservoir, the largest artificial lake in Europe, is breathtaking. But there’s more to it than that. Located in the medieval village, it focuses on Alentejan recipes with hearty, home-style food (and generous portions). It’s usually busy, so it’s best to book.
Tue 7:30 PM-10:30 PM / Wed-Sun 12:30 PM-3:30 PM, 7:30 PM-10:30 PM.
Tamuje
With a view of the Guadiana River, Tamuje is a traditional restaurant with several typical Alentejan dishes, from tomato soup to migas and açorda. If you’re lucky, you might catch a night of fado or Alentejan singing.
Mon-Wed 12:00 PM-3:00 PM, 7:30 PM-10:00 PM / Fri-Sat 12:00 PM-3:00 PM, 7:30 PM-10:00 PM.
Mil-Homens
Open since 1967 in the village of Portagem, Marvão, this establishment has maintained its family recipes for three generations. The menu dives into old recipes, with sarapatel (made with lamb offal, orange, and mint) as the star of the menu. The lamb stew is also highly recommended.
Tue-Sat 12:30 PM-3:00 PM, 7:30 PM-10:00 PM / Sun 12:30 PM-3:00 PM.
Fago
Diogo Branco and Daniel Boto have transformed a small house into a beautiful and elegant restaurant. With a contemporary approach to Portuguese gastronomy, the menu is short and changes according to the seasonality of ingredients, without rush or pressure. The wine list is extensive and includes some gems.
Thu-Fri 7:30 PM-11:00 PM / Sat 12:30 PM-3:00 PM, 7:30 PM-11:00 PM / Sun 12:30 PM-3:00 PM.
Litoral
The place is modest and unassuming. At first glance, it seems like just another restaurant, but this one is worth the stop. It’s called Litoral because it sources its products from the Alentejan coast. The menu highlights fish and seafood. The fried shrimp with clam rice is a must-try.
Tue-Sat 12:00 PM-3:00 PM, 7:00 PM-9:30 PM.
Fialho
It’s the most well-known and recommended restaurant in Évora (and surrounding areas), and there’s no shortage of reasons for that. It’s a classic, a bastion of traditional Alentejan cuisine, with old-fashioned, very attentive service. The lamb stew and dogfish soup are some of the specialties. A warning: don’t venture here without a reservation, especially on weekends.
Tue-Sun 12:30 PM-3:00 PM, 7:30 PM-10:00 PM.
Taberna Sal Grosso
Like in Lisbon, Taberna Sal Grosso in Évora takes the history of old Portuguese taverns and gives them new life. The atmosphere is relaxed and cheerful – sometimes even festive – and the food always includes sharing plates with a contemporary touch. The space is unpretentious, as you’d expect in a tavern.
Mon-Sun 12:00 PM-4:00 PM, 7:00 PM-11:00 PM.
