Vida De Tasca - Review - Alvalade - Lisbon - The Infatuation

"Vida de Tasca delivers peak tasca energy: paper tablecloths, a handwritten daily menu pinned to a board, quick, zero-fuss service, and homestyle cooking that tascas are known for. Every day, there are perfectly prepared hearty tasca classics—one day grilled kidneys, the next a rich cuttlefish stew. The plump, garlicky bitoque is a permanent resident, along with rotating grilled meats and fish. The environment is low-key, and you’ll dine alongside everyone from construction workers to grandmothers to a famous member of a local band if you’re lucky. Finish with the caramel mousse (baba de camelo), and yes, lick the bowl." - Rita Geraldes
