Evora, Portugal - Foodie Travel Guide

Évora, just 90 minutes from Lisbon, is a world away from Portugal's capital. Here, the food is heartier as are the full-bodied wines. Plus, Évora is home to several delicious convent sweets, so called because the recipes originated in local convents centuries ago.

Foodie travel writer Brent Petersen shares his favorite spots for convent sweets, including one of the best bakeries in all of Portugal as well as amazing places to eat, one of which is an 8 seat diner only open a couple hours a day!

And, there's plenty besides great food in Évora, from a Roman Temple to a bone chapel to the nearby "Stonehenge of Portugal.”
