Haul yourself to this friendly neighbourhood taberna for one thing and one thing only: Lisbon's best Francesinha ('Little Frenchie'), a speciality of Porto that serendipitously sealed its fate in Lisbon culinary lore in 2004 after northern construction workers building a nearby hotel begged the owner to give it a shot.

It's delicious: wet-cured ham, spicy linguiça sausage and steak between two thick bread slices covered with melted cheese, an egg, and a hot tomato and beer sauce served with french fries (€8.95). Bom apetite!
