O Bitoque - Almada

Great place to eat local food with locals. They like salt

Wow. Just finished another great meal in Lisboa. We took the trolley to Campo de Ourique and walked around the market. Nice but made for tourists. About two blocks over is this family run restaurant. Papa was cooking and mama and children out front. The grilled sea bass was delicious. The wife had a local dish. 2 half liters of wine and 2 coffees. €25,90

O Bitoque é muito bom, o prato em si e o ambiente familiar e atencioso. Volto sempre que posso sobretudo para almoçar. Se tivermos de almoçar sem companhia, estamos perfeitamente ao balcão.  Aqueles salgadinhos de entrada são uma ótima desculpa para contrariar a dieta....

Excelente, todo mundo que está lá são agradável e maravilhoso, gosto!

This is an honest to goodness awesome restaurant. By early evening the 10 stools at the bar are full of local men having a glass of wine and a meal who slowly rotate out and are soon replaced. The tables fill a bit later with couples or small groups doing the same. The food is simple and local and there is a limited menu but it is awesome. The staff are extraordinary. The prices are unbelievably low. Honestly unbelievable. Like they have made a mistake. I never imagined that my favourite restaurant would be on a different continent (I am Canadian) but there you go. It may be some time before I get back to Lisbon but when I do, I will be spending most of my evenings here.
