An old Mouraria tasca taken over in 2019 by chef Ze Paulo Rocha and reopened in May 2025 after a careful renovation that added counter seating without losing its irreverent character. The kitchen reinvents Portuguese classics, hake with vegetables, roupa velha pastry, with serious cooking and tavern prices. One of the city's toughest reservations for good reason.
