This bistro wins the award for Lisbon’s loveliest summer courtyard: all vines, twittering budgerigars and fluttering laundry (though you'll struggle to find it at all in winter when the vines are bare). The interior is a silver-screen shrine, while the menu stars tasty petiscos (appetisers): breaded brie with raspberry compote, blood sausage with apple purée, as well as more-filling traditional Portuguese dishes.
