Adega Dos Arcos — Restaurant in Lisbon

Very cosy place. Although, the service is very slow. We could see the "chef" out of the kitchen, walking around all the time. Even though the restaurant were not busy, we've waited about 45 minutes for our food. The food was "ok". Salmon was good! The waiter asked us how we would like the steak meat.

As we walked along this restaurant, we straightaway found it cute and inviting. A true local place. And we did well to push the door. The food was amazing. Homemade and fresh. Cheap and cheerful. The service was also fantastic. The son, Ricardo, seemed to like to practice his English with us. It was very nice. We can only recommend this traditional...
