    As soon as we walked in, the female staff member treated us with disrespect. After ordering just…read moreone beer (which was overpriced at $6), she appeared to judge us for not ordering more and hassled us for using the restroom (even physically blocking us). While we were sitting, a male server hovered near us the entire time, cleaning the same small area of the table over and over, clearly eavesdropping. Staff is rude, unwelcoming, and invasive -- avoid this place. Plenty of much nicer places and more reasonably priced places to have a beer. Tourists beware -- rude staff, judgmental service, and overpriced drinks. Definitely not worth your time or money.

Quality is yeoman, not fancy and not blow your socks off "...this is so great I can't believe it". But satisfying and value priced. The staff are all friendly and helpful. Live music (Fado on Thursday, Friday, Saturday) performed most evenings in the upstairs dining room. Seats only 40 people so reservations are mandatory. Don't walk in and expect to be seated upstairs. The ambience is casual. The experience feels very family home made and satisfying. There are 6 other restaurants within 100 meters of this place. This one is my favorite because is feels the least touristy.

    As I continue to slowly get through the large list of review drafts I wrote when I was in Portugal,…read moreat this point, a bit over 3 months ago, in no particular order... this was one of two places that ended up on my list of places I had to try a famous bifana sandwich when I was in Lisbon, the other being O Trevo the next day. To both of them equally I say, there are very few places I'd be willing to stand in line for an hour for, and few of them involve meat on bread. Luckily, being the off-season, I didn't have *any* wait to order a sandwich. Unluckily, being the off season, that's also because it kept raining off and on, and this is a strictly take-out affair. So I ended up eating the sandwich under a nearby awning. In nicer weather conditions, though, there are plenty of nearby benches to sit on right there. Would i wait in a long line? I would not. But it was a legitimately great sandwich, great fluffy bread, great cheese if you splurge on cheese (as of a couple months ago, they were 3.5 euro without cheese, 5.5 with cheese), and solid, juicy, meaty meat, even if I do *personally* prefer the thin-sliced version like the other place I went, did. For how filling they are, that'd make them pretty darn affordable, if you don't add cheese, which I would probably keep doing anyway if I lived here, I'd just go when it was the off-season and not busy, *and* not raining*. At least as of when I was there, being a takeout place, they didn't have much in the way of drinks, but there was an unrelated business in the next alcove over selling cheap large glasses of beer and large blended fruity pineapple drinks. p.s. Make sure to absolutely douse your sandwich in mustard and chili oil, if you like spicy food like I do. They're self-serve, and great.

    Two years running this was our favorite bifana…read more Location was a bit challenging as only the door leading into the restaurant was for locals while the window on the other side served all others. The challenge was the limited sidewalk in front and the lines extend across the street. People don't always realize they're standing in the middle of a street until they get honked at by a car. Menu was posted on the left behind the window. Plain and with cheese bifanas topped the menu but there were other choices as well like carne asada, egg and fish. Cash was the only tender accepted. The pork in the bifanas was constantly simmered and pulled out to make each sandwich individually. The bread was chibatta like and quite soft that enveloped the strips of pork. I added piri piri aauce and yellow mustard (big squirt bottles available on the counters to each side of the window) which gave it more flavor. A simple but great local sandwich. To avoid lines come at odd hours. I also came a little after lunch hour in moderate rain and there was just one person ahead of me.

    I wish this place had seating, which is why I knocked off one star. However, for a quick bite when…read moreyou're touring Lisbon, it will certainly do the job. There were no customers when we walked in so the woman behind the counter served us right away. She explained what was on each pizza before we ordered. The nice thing about the slices is they are cut with scissors and then weighed on a scale. Not like your typical slice spot in the US. My mom ordered white pizza with mushrooms and I ordered tomato pie. Both were tasty but I enjoyed the mushroom one more because it was slightly saltier. I washed everything down with a San Pellegrino sparkling water. For two pizza varieties, a sparkling water and a beer, it was around 13,50€. It was filling enough to last us until dinner time. We received great service and there are plentiful pizza varieties. Would recommend if you're in downtown Lisbon!

The decor is nice and there is a respectable variety of pizzas to choose from. Price for a slice is by weight, so choose your size wisely! After ordering they toss the pizza in the oven to heat before serving. Funghi - a simple take on mushroom pizza. Overall it was flavorful, but nothing spectacular. I couldn't tell exactly how fresh it was- but definitely not the same as a slice from a shop in Italy. They could have let it stay in the oven longer and at a higher temperature to get the crust crispier. Overall not bad, but not great either. Recommended if you're looking to stop for something quick and simple.
