Mesa de Frades
Citorah says It's a former palace chapel — properly small, properly tiled in original blue azulejos floor to ceiling — and the fado is the real reason you book.

Páteo 13
Citorah says The draw is a vine-shaded courtyard wedged behind the church of Santo Estêvão: on a fine evening, ask for a table outside.
Wrong for Solo diners (the courtyard is two-tops and four-tops, you'll feel staged), groups over five, anyone in a hurry, anyone who needs a card reader.
