Momentos

Évora


Jorge, the affable proprietor of Momentos, takes great pride in the bounty of the Alentejo, which he showcases each night on his changing blackboard menus. He works with small farmers, and you'll find flavour-packed organic vegetables accompanying black pork, oven-baked lamb and other delicacies. The chef can also whip up special dishes for vegetarians and vegans.
