Full description
Zé dos Cornos is an unassuming Portuguese restaurant in central Lisbon where reviewers praise big portions, honest prices and a warm, informal atmosphere. Dishes mentioned include ribs, rice with beans, and starters of cod cakes, cheese and olives.
With a 4.5 rating across more than 2,300 reviews, it is popular enough that waits of 40 to 50 minutes are reported on Saturday lunchtimes, though diners say the food justifies it. It serves lunch and dinner, closes on Mondays, and does not take bookings.
It works equally well for solo diners, couples and anyone after a local-feeling meal.

We absolutely loved this place. It was packed with locals enjoying their evening. We had to wait about 30 minutes for a table but it was definitely worth it. It’s safe to say that this was the highlight of our trip
