The chicken was juicy and tasty but it didn’t have much smoky flavor or charcoal flavor! I was surprised to learn they charge for utensils even if you buy rice pudding! The guy that works there asked me to use the cover of the rice pudding container as a spoon!

Great place for something quick to take away - very laidback and staff were friendly helping me order. Definitely recommend - especially if you’ve just arrived in Lisbon and need something to eat
