I used to live on the Largo Do Terreirinho (never mastered the amount or the placement of r’s) above Paulo’s tavern ‘O Poço’. Everytime the yellow ‘electrico’ came by, crawling up the steep hill, I thought the house would collapse, the roof fall down and I would sit bang in the TV room of my neighbourgs. It didn’t happen because all these houses are build to hold earthquakes!! Really.
Anyway try the ameijoade in the Poço it’s very tasty. If you like bean stew of course – and if you are there have a look at the poço which means ‘the pit’ somewhere in the corner. The wine used to be delivered in narrow oval wooden kegs at least when I was living there. I miss the place! Saude

This restaurant is only open during the day until around 18:00. There’s other small restaurants on the square opened till later. Holiday apartment in Mouraria with patio [...]

[...] Mouraria is one of Lisbon’s oldest districts. It contains a tangled street layout just as in Alfama, which has remained since the times of the Moors. The Arabs withdrew into this quarter after Lisbon was conquered by the Portuguese – a ghetto for people of different faiths arose. In the 19th C. prostitution and fado, which at this time was considered to be indecent, brought the quarter a bad name. Nowadays renovation of houses, which are threatened with falling into ruins, and an improvement in the living standards of the inhabitants of Mouraria has only begun recently. The area is full of typical grocery stores, old bars (taverna’s) and cheap (but good!) traditional restaurants. [...]
