Dom Joaquim
Housed in a renovated building, Dom Joaquim offers fine dining in a contemporary setting. Modern artworks line the stone walls, and cane chairs grace clothed tables. While it’s smart and trendy, it offers excellent traditional meat-based (including game) and seafood dishes, such as perdiz (partridge) and caçao (dogfish). For dessert, we dare you to try the toucinho ransoso dos santos – literally translated as ‘rancid lard of the saint’. Oh so sweet.

Botequim da Mouraria
The town’s culinary shrine may be O Fialho, but some gastronomes believe this place is better. Poke around the old Moorish quarter to find this cosy spot serving some of Évora’s finest food and wine (the owner currently stocks more than 150 wines from the Alentejo alone). There are no reservations, nor tables – just 12 stools at a counter.
