It is through the voice of Fado that we get to know nostalgia and the city, love, and tragedy. It is through the voice of Fado that we get to know Lisbon.

A classic – O Trevo 



The bifana is the star.

With lots of mustard and piri-piri (the latter only for the bravest), the bifanas from this Lisbon café are a must-try. Take the opportunity to try the delicious caldo verde: a typically Portuguese soup with cabbage and slices of chorizo.
