    Taberna da Rua das Flores

    Citorah says The menu is a blackboard the waiter carries to your table and translates, badly and charmingly, from Portuguese — it changes daily depending on what came off the Setúbal boats and out of the Alentejo that morning.

    Wrong for Solo diners (the menu wants three people sharing six plates), groups over four (they'll split you), anyone who needs to be somewhere at a specific time.

    Manteigaria

    Citorah says Manteigaria (Chiado, Rua do Loreto 2) bakes them through the day, hands you one at €1.50 still warm, and you eat it standing at the marble counter watching the oven.

    Sea Me

    Citorah says If you want Ramiro-energy seafood without the wait on a Cevicheria evening, walk five minutes to Sea Me in Chiado instead.
