Forno da Telha, the restaurant located in Évora, at Holiday Inn Express Évora, and part of the Mercan universe, was recently featured by ELLE Spain in an article dedicated to the Alentejo city, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

In the publication, the Spanish magazine invites readers to discover Évora through a slow, cultural journey deeply connected to its history — among ancient walls, Roman heritage, whitewashed streets, gastronomic traditions, and the sounds of Cante Alentejano. It is within this curated guide to the city that Forno da Telha appears as one of the recommended dining destinations to experience.

ELLE Spain describes the restaurant as a space that embodies Alentejo tradition, highlighting its connection to the region’s cultural roots through an honest and carefully crafted menu, featuring iconic local products and flavors such as Alentejo bread, olive oil, cheeses, migas, and pork. The article also emphasizes the culinary signature of Chef Miguel Rocha Vieira, as well as the restaurant’s wine cellar, which includes more than one hundred exclusively Alentejo wine references.

This international recognition further reinforces Forno da Telha’s positioning as a leading destination in Évora, where gastronomy, culture, and hospitality come together to deliver an authentic and memorable experience.
