Dom Joaquim
( 266 731 105; Rua dos Penedos 6; mains €12-15; lunch Tue-Sun, dinner Tue-Sat)
Housed in a renov-
ated building, award-winning Dom Joaquim offers fine dining in a smart, contemporary
setting. Modern artworks line the stone walls, and cane chairs grace clothed tables. It's of-
ten full of local business people who gather here for excellent traditional cuisine. And
Chef Joaquim adores his clients as much as they love his skills. He serves big tastes with
great enthusiasm: meats, including game such as
perdiz
(partridge), and succulent, fall-
off-the-bone lamb; and seafood dishes, such as
caçao
(dogfish). Desserts consist mainly
of
doces conventuais
(traditional convent puddings). Oh so sweet.

Um Quarto Para as Nove
(Rua Pedro Simões 9; mains €12-19; lunch & dinner Thu-Tue)
We'll let you establish the reason for
this eatery's name (the owner bought the object secondhand - it never worked). This
cheerful place has clocked up 30 years experience and, with that, some of Évora's best
seafood dishes. It's hard to go past the generous and tasty
arroz
(risotto) dishes; the daily
specials are worth going for.

The delightful owner and family run

( 266 704 427; Rua dos Mercadores 18; mains €6-15; lunch & dinner Mon-Sat)
This is a tiled, busy
place where many locals opt to sit on stools at a long bar. There's a TV, lots of knick-
knacks and tasty, good-value daily mains (including generous half serves). Attached is an
appealing restaurant served by efficient bow-tied waiters.
