    Best bifanas in Lisbon. We tried numerous places during our trip, but kept coming back here every time. Fresh bread, perfectly seasoned pork, quick service, and great prices. Easily our go to spot in Lisbon and a must try if you’re craving an authentic bifana.

    I wasn't expecting so much from a boiled beef sandwich. It's really good; we came back to try it with cheese. I haven't tried other places, but I'm sure it's good. They're fast and friendly.
