I’m sitting at the counter as I write this. The pork here is mind-blowingly good: crispy skin, falling off the bone, little bits of cartilage to nibble on. You have to use your hands. Also the gravy is unexpectedly MVP here. There are (house-made?) crisps to dunk in it. If I didn’t have another lunch to go to, I would have gotten a full portion. A glass of wine is €1. You MUST come here.

Excellent place for some good Leitao. About €15 got me a beer, olives, bread, and a plate for one. Must try. Muitto delicioso.

Google maps led me to this spot. I love a good pork sandwich. This is very simply made with few ingredients and it was amazing. As you get towards the salty skin and combine that with the meat ....just pure bliss. Really glad I had this for lunch today.

Fast, reasonably priced, good taste, friendly service. Portion sizes of meat felt a little bit small. Also, many of the posted menu items were out of stock so we were limited in choices

My wife and I did not had a reservation, so we had to wait a little bit which was ok. The service was ok. The leitão itself was really good, but I’ve missed some sides, such as “Migas”.
