Mercador Do Pao - Évora

The sandwich menu looked good. I was curious about the francesinha (a sandwich with melted cheese, a mix of meats, all served in a cup of soupy red sauce). The fries that came with the sandwich were good, kept fragrant and crunchy. I did not like the sandwich. The cheese, sauce and meats were all bland. The sauce was starchy and runny, the cheese abundant and very mild. The meats were a wide combination, but still not very flavorful. Staff was very corteus. The dining area is relatively spacious if you want to dine in.

During our stay in Evora and stroll through the old city we were looking for a light lunch and stumbled upon Mercador Do Pao. It was almost 3:00 (when they close for midday) yet the owner was extremely welcoming and invited us to order. We had the best sandwiches of our trip. While we didn't order anything terribly unique (a tomato and cheese sandwich and a ham and cheese) they were delicious. Extremely fresh on a perfect baguette, with friendly service. The restaurant had a wide variety of options on the menu, including soups, hamburgers and sides. While we stuck to the basic sandwiches they were delicious and serviced with warmth and friendliness. Would highly recommend for lunch of light dinner when in Evora!

Had their version of a BLT. Very good and a expresso and a pastry all for under 5€. Great for a budget/student/family friendly.

Basic, very good value for the money, very kind service and very tasty light soup and sandwiches. I like go for a little dinner and wit no regrets I was there for the two lovely nights I spent in the beautiful Evora. Highly recommended.

Go fir the grilled pork sandwich. Delicious! Also salad is big! Very pleased with everything. So many locals are here too
