"Without a doubt the best Bifana in town. Apart from that: - lovely & patient staff - super affordable, mostly locals eating here - If you are lucky, you might meet Chico the bird who sometimes works there too. :-) We have been very lucky to end up in a place just a couple of feet away from their bar. Would recommend 11/10."

"A lovely little unassuming snack bar. We went there twice during our stay in Lagos. Price is certainly reasonable. They have tostas with ham and cheese. They also have pastel de nata and the cod fish and seafood fritters which are €1 each and delicious! My partner and I are non-coffee drinkers but looking at this serviette holder and the smell of coffee wafting about made us order a cup of latte to share and it was delicious lovely waitress who answers all your questions about the ingredients of the snacks. Full of locals so you know its good!"

"Found this small place while looking for a quick lunch (bifanas). And was not disappointed at all! Small, traditional place, where locals grab a quick bite, coffee or a drink. I had bifana, octopus salad and a mixed veg salad. Everything was tasty and correct. Prices are good and service is friendly. Will definitely come again while in the region"
