    I used to love coming here, but it's become really expensive. A beer/caneca is €5.20.

    I have never come across such a rude, arrogant and hateful man in my life. PLEASE AVOID this…read moreoverpriced tourist trap like the plague! I have often stopped at the bar despite the arrogant staff, as it does have a beautiful view point. However, after tonight never again. Enjoyed a very pleasant evening with friends until we asked for the bill, when we received it, there was a bottle of wine that has been bought to the table in error, it was not opened and the waiter acknowledged the mistake and took it away, it was though charged on the bill. They had also missed a glass of wine, which we also pointed out. The bill was €106.40 and should had been 90.40. I have no problem paying for what I have ordered, although I would also point out that €20 for a bottle of Planalto is absolutely outrageous! In "Paparucha's", a very nice steak restaurant a few doors away, it is priced at just €12 and even the extremely touristic "A Brasileira" only charges €13! So back to the dispute, they would not accept what we were saying, and they threatened to call the police if we did not pay. We paid the €90.40 and walked away. We actually then went back as was so astounded by their attitude and behaviour. We asked for the complaints book, they delayed a long time in getting it and then said they were going to call the police again, we said go ahead. They said we could not have the complaints book until the police arrived. The police did not appear and reluctantly we were given the book. It would seem there were quite a few complaints already. Apparently we are now barred, as if we would ever go back! Disgusting behaviour, please do yourself a favour and enjoy the view but don't bother with the kiosk. I believe that there is another kiosk in the lower gardens, so go there instead!

    Outstanding Sandwich and Service. We got lucky with the wait times (yes we went several…read moretimes)...price point is great...definitely worth the time...you will love it. Oh! Don't forget to add the sauces...these add even more great flavor...the hot sauce can be a little warm but not too much. We tried both with and without cheese. For the location...a cool little area of Lisbon in which we stayed across the street. Having another today before we head out.

    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.
