"Neo-tascas are popping up everywhere in the city, but few seem to channel the old-school tavern charm as well as Vida de Tasca in the Alvalade neighborhood. Chef Leonor Godinho spent years visiting traditional Portuguese eateries with friends before opening her own interpretation in a space that housed a classic tasca for over 40 years. Vida de Tasca stays true to tasca traditions with affordable prices, daily specials, and snacks like cod fritters and croquettes, all sans pretension. It’s a no-frills place, offering excellent food and the nostalgic charm of old Lisbon." - Rafael Tonon
