About Tempero & Prosa
Tempero & Prosa is a intimate family-run restaurant in Évora's historic centre, celebrated for its bold Brazilian and Portuguese cooking. Reviewers consistently praise the moqueca—particularly the fish and shrimp versions—as standout dishes, alongside feijoada, bobó de camarão, and lamb chops executed with care and genuine flavour. The wine list earns particular mention, harmonising well with the kitchen's output. The owners are a defining strength: described as "very polite," "sympathetic," and attentive to detail, they create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels both casual and genuinely hospitable. The setting is tucked away from Évora's main thoroughfares on a quiet street, offering a peaceful dining experience. Service is consistently noted as friendly and efficient. The restaurant welcomes families with children, dogs in the external area, and explicitly creates a safe, inclusive space for LGBTQ+ guests. Vegetarian options, small plates, cocktails, and a strong coffee programme round out the offering.
Tempero & Prosa is the neighbourhood spot done right — unhurried, unpretentious, with a wine list that gives it an edge over most of its category.
