Tasca Simões
Évora, Portugal
The read// why locals go
On Rua do Cano, in the residential half of Évora's old town, Tasca Simões is a tasca in the strict sense — Alentejo food cooked for the neighbourhood. The word covers a specific thing in Portugal: a few tables, a counter, wine by the jug, and a kitchen that cooks one region and no other. The Alentejo version is the plains' own food, unhurried and built around bread, pork and the herbs that grow wild across the region. Prices stay in tasca territory, mains around €15, which is rather the point — a tasca that priced itself for visitors would stop being one. Small, plain and entirely of its city.
