"Opened in 1936, Gambrinus is an institution serving classic items like seafood rice, kidneys in Madeira wine, and crepes suzette made tableside. In a city where eating at the counter is a way of life, Gambrinus has perhaps the most famous counter in Lisbon, where locals huddle together to eat croquettes with mustard or snack on a prego (a garlicky, thin-sliced beef sandwich) with a beer. As at many traditional restaurants, each day of the week brings specific dishes, such as empadão de perdiz (partridge pies) on Mondays and roasted salt cod on Fridays." - Rafael Tonon, Miguel Pires
