"Yes, it’s a canteen, so self-service, but it’s delicious and affordable. The secret appeal about this place, though, is not the price, nor the décor (which doesn’t exist), it’s the wonderful view of the city. Arrive before 1 p.m. to snag a seat before the local workers arrive for their midday meals."

First thing, this place is not easy to find, but well worth the effort. It's not a traditional restaurant that you may be accustomed to, this is a no frills Catholic operated cafeteria style eatery. Your options are soup (Y/N), salad (Y/N), meat, seafood or vegetarian. There isn't a menu, you just answer those questions and they reach you your plate. Please do not let this make you think it isn't great because it was. The outdoor terrace was incredible and the food was as good as some of the Michelin restaurants that we had eaten at.

Good food and amazing deal for the price. ~10 eur for soup, entree, beer/wine and a post meal coffee. The only issue is the signage or lack thereof. Use google maps and refer to the photos for help finding it. When you get to the door, either take the evelator or walk up to the third floor.

A little hard to find: when you’re at the street, look for the door with the “1” number at the top. Climb the stairs to the top till you see a white door to the left (usually closed). Go through the door and you’re here. They have a set lunch menu with what seems to be 2 options for the main dish. Everything is in Portuguese but there’s usually a line and you just have to follow the person in front of you! It’s self-service and you get your tray, food etc and then pay at the cashier. I got the lunch set with soup and a small beer for €7.50, and it tasted great! Tip: they have an open air terrace with amazing views. Near the cashier there’s a door that leads outside, I missed it while I was there and sat indoors instead. Also remember to return your tray after you’re done!

If you want to eat for 6.50 euros I recommend Cantina das Freiras. It has a terrace overlooking the river and the food is pretty good. It is found near Praça do Comércio. The program is Monday to Friday. The lunch is served between 12-15

Had an excellent lunch. Tasty, simple, local food with affordable prices as it is run by a charity association. The terrace had amazing views. Lunch menu (main dish + soup or dessert) was 6.5 euros

It's an autentic portuges cantina with an amazing view 🤩. Local food with self service with very good prices (meal 5,90€, red vine 1,30€). It like a hidden gem. You should try 👌

If you want to be part of ordinary workers lunch = 8 euro soup + main + coffee. Very hearty food.
