Full description

As Bifanas do Afonso is a tiny, budget-friendly spot dedicated almost entirely to the bifana, the Portuguese sandwich of slow-cooked, spicy simmered pork that is a fast, cheap meal across the country. Reviewers say it is arguably the place most associated with the dish, and it is popular enough on social media that queues are common.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 6,700 reviews and a typical visit of about 45 minutes, it works as a quick breakfast-to-afternoon stop for families, solo travellers and anyone wanting a proper local bite. It is open from morning, with shorter hours on Saturdays.

Reviews

While in Lisbon, we remembered Anthony Bourdain had recommended this place. Delicious bifana!! Ice cold beer and very quick service. There is no dining area but don't let the long line keep you away. We barely waited 5 minutes.
