Why go, and how to fit it in
Come for traditional Portuguese cooking in a busy restaurant where queuing is common. The things that come up most often are traditional food, duck rice, sardines, tripas à moda do porto, tomato rice, pain perdu and bolinhos de bacalhau. Anyone who wants a Portuguese meal at €10–15 per person will enjoy it. Queuing is mentioned often, so plan around peak times rather than hoping to walk straight in.
Lunch and dinner run 12–2:30 PM and 7–9:30 PM Monday to Friday. Saturday has lunch only, and Sunday is closed. On a typical Wednesday, 20:00 is the busiest hour and 21:00 is the quietest open hour. A later dinner can mean less waiting, though service ends at 9:30 PM, so arrive with time to eat. If the queue is long, LACADI, a Vietnamese restaurant, is 25 m away, and Encarnado Burger Bolhão is 57 m away. Tenco Cafés Restaurante is 1 m away.
Opening times
It is closed on Sunday. Check on the day, as holidays and special events can change the hours.
