30 Best Restaurants in Lisbon for Crispy Suckling Pig, Pastel de Natas, and Bifana Sandwiches | Condé Nast Traveler

"A locals’ institution hidden behind a ring-the-bell door, this plush, vintage-styled dining room serves simple, deeply satisfying Portuguese comfort. Start with bread, butter, and sardine paste, then an eggy, moreish Bacalhau à Brás and a Bitoque (steak crowned with a fried egg) in creamy sauce; finish with Alentejo’s Encharcada (soaked eggs). Pair with a local wine and let the friendly staff steer your choices." - Abigail Malbon

First and foremost, our dining experience just would not have been the same without Mr. Paulo. He was so welcoming, and so gentlemanly. He really set the tone for the rest of the meal. We had the traditional Portuguese steaks with some bread and spinach. The steaks were brilliant, and the bread was fresh and even better. We took Mr Paulo’s recommendation on the dessert which was also excellent. It was a quiet, quaint and comfy restaurant. Best dining experience we had in Lisbon. The food pictures may not look the best because it was a very homely sort of plating, but you have to eat the food to believe how good it is.

I had a great dining experience here. I have come a few times and it never disappoints! Its menu is simple, but good. The steaks are amazing and the croquettes are out of this world, so, if you are a meat lover (or not), you should definitely give this place a try!

I had the best experience here!! You have to eat here - authentic Portuguese dishes, really unique ambience and lovely waitstaff. Marcia was my waiter, he made my dining experience here so special. He gave me perfect recommendations and offered assistance in understanding the menu when he noticed I had to google dishes and definitions! He was just so lovely and helpful and professional. I had the bacalhau àu brás and it was wonderful! For dessert I had the encharcada and was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed it! I highly recommend these dishes and starting off with one or two meat croquettes is a must. I was lucky to get a walk in seat which isn’t very common so take that into consideration when planning on dining here. The ambience was so cool, all red velvet seating, mirrored walls, crisp white tablecloths, beautiful and clean bathrooms and cute little bar. Very cozy place and feels extra special since you have to ring a doorbell to get in. 10/10 recommend.

Let me start off by saying I highly recommend this place. We first arrived a little before 7 (their opening time) to which they graciously let us in. Even though we didn't have a reservation they managed to squeeze us in. From there the service was just fantastic. They spoke excellent English and gave us amazing recommendations. I recommend the sirloin steak,the "original" cocktail, the fresh goat cheese, and chocolate mousse with port wine. The setting was also gorgeous. Please visit this place and enjoy yourself a wonderful meal.

Stumbled upon this place while in Sintra. It was simple, but a good little find. Plus they gave me a HUGE pour of wine so bonus points for that. I sat by the window and people watched while enjoying my wine and a cheese and proschutto sandwich. There are so many touristy places in Sintra I'd recommend this place.
