Bifanas De Vendas Novas - Évora

A melhor sopa de pedra e bifana que já comi em Portugal.

This place was suggested by our guide and even if at first I thought this was a sales tactics and he was getting some kind of commission for the referral, I understood right away once i was inside. The place was packed from local people. it was a bit chaotic to figure out their system (as I don't speak portugese) but it was worth the wait. Their main item on the menu the Bifana is only 2 Euro. One can be full just on that. We went for the full experience so I tried one of their soup and took my Bifana's loaded with an egg, bacon, salade, tomatoes, etc and I have one huge mug of beer and still it only cost us 13 euro's before tip for 2 adults. My least expensive meals in Europe so far!!! Warning: If you prefer Halal, Kosher, Vegetarian food I don't recommend this restaurent. One should know that Bifana's are large pieces of pork super thin escalope that are cooked/fried in melted butter. It is served on a local piece of bread as a sandwich that will soak up the butter so I would not recommend it for a daily lunch spot unless you choose their healthier soup options (that are really good by the way). This said, I have high cholesterol but the occasional treat won't kill me so allow me to be very frank when I did not experience one bit of guilt trying this local treat!

Loved this local restaurant with the most delicious Bifana and Bitoque. Have eaten our way through Portugal and been to Conga in Porto too. Don't miss this popular and busy restaurant €2 Bifana and €5.50 for Bitoque. The frites are also the tastiest and well seasoned. Feel like going there tomorrow again!

Trying to find GOOD places to eat is hard in Evora. Places are poor and cover silly seating charges However this place is a hidden gem. Its hard to find the front door as its really hidden. But inside its a busy hub of activity. The food is good, and quick. Prices are not an insult to the wallet. I would rate a 5 if there was options of vegetables or salad instead of fries. All in all, a good place to eat. The beer sauce is made with fresh Estrella from the tap!

A lot of places in the city were either closed or was not accept other customers. This place is super friendly, has great sandwiches, soups and drinks and desserts at reasonable prices.
