Piparoza

Évora


Along the pedestrian lane of restaurant-lined Alcarcova de Baixo, the cavernous Piparoza is a standout for its huge menu and lively ambience. Open from noon to midnight, it's a good place for tapas and wines by the glass outside regular meal times. There's outdoor seating on warm days.
