Traditional tasca in Alfama with fado nights and excellent Portuguese comfort food. The francesinha (Porto's famous sandwich) is surprisingly authentic, and the bacalhau à Brás is textbook perfect. Stone walls, barrel tables, and locals nursing imperials.
Skip the touristy fado houses - come here on Thursday or Saturday night for spontaneous fado sung by neighborhood regulars between courses.
Plan for about 2 hours.
Taberna Sal Grosso is in the Alfama neighborhood of Lisbon. The address is Calçada do Forte 22, 1100-256 Lisboa, Portugal. The area is well-served by metro.
This works well at any time of day, though mornings tend to be quieter. Weekdays are less crowded than weekends.

The Lisboa Card costs EUR 22 for 24 hours, but you'll need to visit 4+ paid attractions to break even. Here's which Lisbon travel pass actually saves money based on your itinerary.
