This franchise has always been my go-to place while on the go and hungry. Their combo menu is great anytime of the day with soup, chorizo bread, rice pudding, one cold drink, and coffee after? for under euro 7. Service is fast too.

If you are looking to try authentic Portuguese brunch this is your place. Cooked in wood oven. Come around noon to get one out of the fire straight to your plate.

A very nice meal for 5,50. Soup caldo verde, chorizo bread and a drink! The soup was very good, chorizo bread was hot and nice, the bread was crunchy on the outside, fluffy and moist inside with a lot of chorizo! We recommend!

We were here 2 times. Meal is fulfilling and tasty with affordable price. For 5 euros you can get soup, bread, drink and dessert.The 2nd time bread was a little bit burnt though

This place was great and very cheap! Its a must stop for lunch. We got a soup, sandwich and beer for only 5.5 euros. The service was quick and the food was warm and tasty. Outside seating can fill up but we were there on a sunday and still able to find a spot. Will definitely return next time im in Lisbon
