Always checking for restaurant reviews when traveling? You like relaxed bars, amazing food and great service? This is the post for you. And no, I am not being paid for randomly writing a positive review on the bar if you were wondering. :) I just like spreading good words about places that deserve it.
On our first day in Lisbon, rain started to fall just at the time we started thinking about food. After a few minutest of wondering around we stumbeled upon a dark, empty Irish pub. This is not usually a good sign, right? But since this was the first restaurant/bar that was not focused solely on fish, or a kebab fast food restaurant, we decided to give it a chance.
Best
Decision
Of
The
Day!
The bartender - super friendly Brazilian guy who worked in Ireland before, young, talkative.
The cook - origigi Portuguese grandma who knows how to do her job perfectly, meals speak for themselves, they hava "experience" written all over them.
Interior - dark but relaxed and positive, clean, youthful
Best for last
FOOD - I have never tried a better hamburger than this one. If you ask me what was so good, unfortunately I would not be able to tell you a single factor that made it so. The hamburger is my boyfriend's meal but he made me try it so I could see for myself how good it was (even though I would probably eat it anyways) :) My pasta and shrims was also amazing, flawless, not over-boiled but also not too stiff.
Since I ordered the daily menú for dessert they brought me a cheesecake. Some might say it had a bit too much cinnamon, but in my case, I loved it. Again flawless, with fruit on the top, lemon mixed in the creme that was rich with flavor and texture. Ah, you justhad to be there.
Info about the bar

I hope one day when you visit Lisbon, you will remember reading this post and will visit the bar. Then you'll believe me.
They also have a cool place next to the bar where people leave their currencies and sign their names. So our 10 kuna papermoney with Ahmad and Tea written on it found a new home, next to other currencies from all over the world.
