Restaurante A Tabuense — Restaurant in Lisbon

A nice "hole in the wall" style place, what it lacks in space it delivers in food and service. Didn't try the specialty because it's not my type of food (snails). What I did have was bifanas a cup of expresso, shame I arrived at lunch time since it's a finger food item, had to stay at the counter because I was running solo. But honestly a "no issue" situation because, and I say this coming from someone who prefers to be seated, I'd much rather pre-pay for meals like this get served as fast as possible and go on with my life than sitting down, get lazy and having a full course meal.

All in all I know where I'm having my quick lunches when in the area next time, however I'll be coming a bit earlier...

I search in internet for the best places to taste "caracois" in Lisbon. Google informs it is opened the whole day. Portuguese people eats very early, so when I arrived, around 3, after a long way from home, with plenty of people there, they said it was closed. I explained the bar man my situation, and in a very nasty way, he rejected and said it is closed. After the pandemia, with all bars and restaurants closed, with no tourists at all, I assume the owner of this restaurant is millionaire. It is actually a luxury to have your businness open and with clientele. So, to clise the door to a...

Beberam café. A conta foi 1,70. Perguntei por que. Disseram que o americano conta como dois cafés. Mas ele simplesmente colocou água quente no copo com o expresso. O café estava horrível. Parecia que os utensílios estavam sujos. Talvez a máquina. O café tinha gosto de gordura animal. Além disso, me enganaram com a conta. O homem atrás do bar foi grosso.

Le café avait un goût dégoûtant. On aurait dit que la vaisselle était sale. Peut-être la machine. Le café avait un goût de graisse animale. De plus, on m'a trompé avec l'addition. L'homme derrière le bar était impoli.

I had a coffee. The bill was 1.70. I asked why. They said an Americano counts as two coffees. But they just added hot water to a cup of espresso. The coffee tasted terrible. It was like the dishes were dirty, maybe the machine. The coffee had a taste of animal fat. Plus, I was overcharged. The man behind the bar was rude.
