LOMBARDO RESTAURANTE

This place was amazing and you should definitely dine here if you are in Evora! We started with the mushroom and poached egg appetizer and it was unlike anything we have ever had! There were a variety of mushrooms, sautéed and seasoned to perfection (wine, garlic, radish, greens, and other seasonings too I am sure)! For the main dish, the chef recommended the pork cheeks and the grouper. We ordered one of each and shared them. The pork cheeks were so tender and full of flavor! They were served with a sweet potato, purée, mushrooms, and a red wine reduction sauce. It was one of those things for each time you take a bite and the world stops because you can’t believe how good it tastes! The grouper was also done to perfection!
We are just over the halfway point in our trip to Portugal and have had a lot of traditional Portuguese food, and for the most part have not been super impressed. In contrast, the dishes served at Lombardo were rooted in Portuguese tradition, but not stuck in it.

Muito bom em tudo. Aconselho

O Espaço não é grande mas é acolhedor, não sendo típico na decoração nem brilhante neste sentido.
A comida é boa, confeccionada com cuidado e com bons toques de autor.

Contudo o busílis é o serviço. Contacto simpático mas não surpreendente mas claramente desorganizado (a casa estava cheia, só com dois funcionários a servir, talvez ajude a explicar).
Éramos 4 (com crianças) pedimos sopas e entradas (várias) para partilhar como refeição.
Entre as sopas e as entradas um compasso de tempo (expectável). Contudo entre as entradas ..a primeira ...e as seguintes... A última nem chegou a vir. Depois de alguma indagação supostamente tinha um "molho feito ao momento pelo que nunca poderia vir com as outras entradas".
Pareceu-me pouca competência. Ou talvez inexperiência.

De resto boa experiência.

We’re traveling in the countryside of Spain and Portugal for a few days and was getting a little tired of eating meat and fish every day.
We found this restaurant during our trip.

The food was sophisticated and tasty, as if I had been served in a café in the city.
My stomach was happy.
I couldn't get enough of one dish, so I ordered the tataki, which was the restaurant's top recommendation, and it was very tasty!

Fica á quem do que estava à espera. Pelos preços praticados tem que é ser muito melhor.
