Tasca Zé dos Cornos

Alfama, Castelo & Graça


This family-owned Mouraria tavern welcomes regulars and first-timers with the same undivided attention. Space is tight so sharing tables is the norm and so is a line out the door. The menu contains typical Portuguese cuisine with an emphasis on pork (the ribs come highly recommended) and bacalhau (dried salt-cod) grilled on the spot. Portions are generous.
