I recommend everyone to eat once at this little restaurant in the centre of Lissabon. Authentic little place with no big fuss and no tourists, but the food is perfect for a quick little bite and the service is 10/10. The owner (older man) does almost everything himself and is really kind and thoughtful. Doesn't speak English that well, but really tried to speak with us and understand us.
