About Lisboa Tu e Eu 2
Lisboa Tu e Eu 2 sits tucked beneath an arcade in Alfama's winding lanes, a warmly authentic neighbourhood gem that draws both locals and travellers seeking genuine Portuguese home cooking. With 5,459 reviews at 4.6 stars, the restaurant delivers on its promise of unpretentious, flavour-forward seafood and meat dishes—octopus salad, grilled sardines, tender pork cheek, and fresh cod croquettes emerge repeatedly as standout plates. The woman who runs the place brings genuine hospitality to every table, and the kitchen's speed and freshness impress even seasoned diners. Portions are generous, prices hover at €15–20, and the intimate, slightly cramped setting—narrow stairs, tight tables—only deepens the sense of stumbling upon a local secret. Cash only, English menus available on request.
