📖

Full description

O Rápido is a traditional Portuguese restaurant hidden on a side street near the train station, surrounded by construction but worth seeking out. Reviewers praise hearty, rustic cooking: a thick tripe stew with generous chunks of meat, grilled octopus with octopus rice, and a feijoada built around sausage, pork belly and pig ears.

The host is singled out for his friendliness and for explaining where ingredients such as the starter cheese come from. With a 4.6 rating and budget-friendly prices, it suits an unfussy, local-feeling lunch or dinner for couples or small groups, and a visit of about an hour and a quarter.
