Típica de Alfama — Restaurant in Lisbon

Rude people, food was bad, bad music, small bar where most people hang out in the street due to the lack of room. Not friendly to non-Portuguese. Beware.

Response to owner comment: When I was in this bar many people were talking very loudly and even being asked to quiet down by the bartenders. I have a theory that because I am a foreigner that I was singled out and for this reason I am writing this review. If the rules are so important to you.. would it be a lot to ask to put a sign on the wall about the noise level and to speak softly? There is no sign posted. If a person came to this bar full of noisy people how would they know to speak quietly if everyone else is not? I did not disrespect anyone I did not talk louder than the other people there and yet I was the one yelled at. In the end it seems like the locals will do ok here whether they follow the un posted, un documented rules or not but foreigners will be picked on, and harassed. What is your explanation for this? Even though knowing I was not doing any wrong I offered an apology like a mature adult. It was not accepted and I was harassed for speaking in english. We are mature adults yes? This was very immature...

I had the chance to rent an apartment just in front of Típica! What a great discovery! The place is incredible and the atmosphere is great, I also had a delicious sandwich with fresh bread and meat. The beer was cheaper than anywhere else and the music was awesome! I really want to come back with more time. The owner and the staff were super friendly! Keep up the good work, Lisbon needs more...

The beer was cheap and the staff were super friendly. Seemed to have an international crowd. Grab a beer, sit outside on the stoop, and soak...
