Brasa do Bairro — Restaurant in Amadora

Food was alright quite normal food.

But there's a scam going on in this restaurant. Before you come on they put stuff on the table for "free And at the end they charge you about 10€ for 3 little pieces of bread together with some cheese/meat.

Casual upcharging for things that Haven't been requested is very rude and quite unheard of.

Note: my full glasses of champagne 🍾 vanished from the table too because Waiters were eager to get out which would be understandble if you were pushing. Not the case at all!!

Bottom line good food, with a bad service from waiters. Overall: mediocre experience. Expecting...

Thats a really good local restaurant. Probably one of the best Salgados I have tried so far. Polvo was really nice as well, keep this oilish authenticity that Portugal likes but not much as usual. I would definitely return if I am around. Stuff is good (on portuguese level), atmosphere is nice, if this is just a lunch or ordinary diner with friends - that will work really well! Not...
