Directions

A tiny, no-frills neighborhood grocery-cafe hybrid in Alfama where locals stop for a quick bica, a glass of wine, and a bifana (pork sandwich) at the counter. It's the kind of place that hasn't changed in decades and has no interest in doing so. Tourists rarely find it, which is exactly the point. Go early morning or at lunchtime to catch the authentic neighborhood rhythm.
