About Taberna Sal Grosso Évora
The migas, the bacalhau à brás and the octopus are the dishes that keep coming up in what people write, with the wild boar fritters close behind — order more than you think you need, because the table will finish everything. The arroz with fish and the eggplant with smoked yogurt sauce have stopped more than one visitor mid-sentence. The room is simple and unhurried, with ambient music at a level that lets conversation happen. Staff take the trouble to match a Spanish-speaking server to a Spanish-speaking table, which says something about how the place is run. Dogs are welcome. Without a reservation, the odds are not in your favour.
Taberna Sal Grosso Évora is the neighbourhood spot done right — unhurried, unpretentious, with a wine list that gives it an edge over most of its category.
In the last 90 days, Taberna Sal Grosso Évora has drawn 19 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.
