PROS

Warm reception and equally inviting decor ... OOH-RAH! The Potato Skins (€3.95) were good, crispy and had a simple, tasty garlic mayo sauce on top even though I was expecting 'American-style' with bacon, etc. The homemade Lime and Berry Ade (€3.95) were both good The Salgadieras Hamburgers ((€9.45) came with cheese, bacon, caramelized onions, tomato, and mayo on a homemade seeded bun and were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ... we all agreed that they were the best burgers we all have had in a long time, stateside or in Europe ... HOOAH! The prices were very fair, considering the portion sizes and quality of the 100% homemade food The Key Lime Pie and Cheesecake (€4.95 each) were scrum-diddly-umptious Our server, João, was extremely friendly, professional, and informative ... MUITO OBRIGADO!

CONS

The Potato Skins could have used a bit more of the garlic mayo sauce The dessert prices were a tad high for the portion sizes

One of two places that are a must in Bairro Alto!

Thank you to Joel and Renato (hope I spelled in right) for a great time. We came for a quick burger but stayed for much longer and enjoyed amazing conversation and hospitality.

They were so nice, telling us their story a bit, telling us about Porto (and how we must visit there, and we will!), talked a bit about football :). Had a really wonderful time.

The burgers and the beer suggested to us were great! As someone who loves the taste of crab, you should try the crab sauce as well. I recommend to try the beer - Trindade. The best beer I've tasted during our trip. And we had also a really cool lemonade with berries I think, which was also really tasty.

Another two small thing but I think it's important - unlike many places in Lisbon, this place has great lighting. Many places are just too dark, which isn't great, you want to see your food! So also thumbs up for the lighting of the place. And the bathroom! Clean, and you don't need to touch anything with your hands (at least for the men's bathroom). Even the sink, has a leg peddle.

Thanks again and Shalom to you guys...

I popped in here for a quick lunchtime burger with a mate and was very glad I did. There was a small queue outside and you have to put your name down on a clipboard hanging by the door which isn't very obvious but no drama. We hardly had to wait at all before we were ushered to our table and promptly attended to by a friendly waiter.

Drinks came quickly, followed shortly after by the burger which was a solid 8/10. The bun was solid and good size to hold the contents but could have been toasted a bit more. Meat quality was great and the toppings spot on. The fries were slightly dissappointing, quite a small portion which was probably a good thing as I certainly didn't leave hungry but they could have been fried a little bit longer.

The restaurant is nicely decorated with the tables set around the open kitchen which is always reassuring. It's not very large so big groups will definitely have to book and if you just rock up you'll probably have to queue so factor that in if you are...
