Restaurante Cerveceria Martinho — Restaurant in Évora

I would probably not go back to this restaurant...

We opted to order off the menu. I had pork and clams in the Alentejo style (served in a pan with a broth of wine and red peppers (I think!) which was delicious, and my husband had the black pork cutlets with asparagus migas (a bread pudding of sorts,) a standard accompaniment in this area. We shared a jar of white sangria, which I would liken to Orange Crush. A bit too sweet, with a layer of sugar in the bottom of the pitcher and hard to notice the wine. I would try the red, next time. Yes, I would go back. Service...
