Why we like it

Tucked away in the heart of Alfama, right next to Santa Apolónia station, Sal Grosso Tavern is a tiny treasure with just 27 seats. It’s warm, welcoming, and full of character — the kind of place where the food is honest, the atmosphere is relaxed, and you’re encouraged to share everything on the table. It’s cozy, soulful, and distinctly Portuguese. Due to its size, it’s the only restaurant in the group where pets can’t be accommodated — but you’ll still feel right at home.
