Traditional restaurant in Lisbon. May not look great from the outside, but the food is really good. Will be returning

It's a typical Portuguese restaurant, run by a family for decades and where the food tastes like home. It's a small place so it's a bit cramped but if you don't mind I'm sure you'll have a great meal.
