Snails at Caracóis de São Bento, a little dive on Rua dos Poiais de São Bento 38: This place is ridiculous. We walked in and the entire crowd of locals inside was transfixed on the power walking Olympic competition. I ordered a prato (small serving) then recanted and went for the travassa (4 person order). I won respect left and right for polishing off the snail trough with little help. No speed walking was required.

I was told this restaurant has the best snails in Lisbon. My mom and I tried only their snails and thought the sauce tasted like salt water - no depth to the flavor. Locals seem to love it though! It's family owned and the lady who runs the restaurant can't speak English but is so cute and friendly!
