Why go, and how to fit it in
Hot dogs and francesinha are what visitors talk about most at this restaurant, with kebab, homemade fries and steak on a plate also coming up. A cozy place and a social atmosphere are part of the draw, and groups or friends can eat here for around €10-15 per person. On a typical Friday, 20:00 is the busiest hour and 16:00 is the quietest open hour, so a mid-afternoon visit gives you more space, while later evening brings more of that social mood.
It opens Tuesday to Saturday from noon to 10:30 PM and stays closed on Sunday and Monday, which leaves lunch, afternoon and early dinner as the easiest times. In the north-east part of the city, it can be a relaxed meal rather than a rushed one. Beta Coffee & Cake is 4 m away, Musaxi 2 Restaurante Japonês is 55 m away, and Casa do Lopes is 70 m away, so another easy option is right there.
Opening times
The place is closed on Monday and Sunday. Hours can shift on holidays or during special events, so check on the day.
