About Casa da Avó no Mercado
A lunch at Casa da Avó no Mercado is what most places in Évora stopped being a long time ago: homemade food, honest prices, and a room where the welcome is immediate. Inside the market, it's a simple, unfussy space run by a family — Filipe and his parents — who treat every table like it belongs there. The food is Alentejo through and through: the bifana and bitoque draw regulars, the asada keeps people coming back, and the pork sandwich is the kind of thing you think about on the drive home. Twenty-one euros covered a full table, drinks included.
What Stands Out

Family service with genuine friendliness
A Spanish visitor noted 'servicio extraordinariamente amable' (extraordinarily kind service); a local reviewer thanked the owner by her family role: 'obrigado avó pelas refeições e simpatia' (thank you grandmother for the meals and warmth).
Affordable prices
One visitor paid €21 for two people 'tout compris' (all in); another called it 'cheap prices'; Google review topics list affordability at 12 mentions.
