“ A great, affordable spot for a snack, a drink, and some people watching in Alfama. The bifana sandwich is packed with flavor. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available, and the staff is incredibly friendly with a great sense of humor. ”
“ Went there for a quick lunch and beer - stayed for an hour. The bifana was incredible, freshly made lemonade, and the ginjahna to finish it off. Was the best bifana I had! Manager and server were great and talkative. Loved this place! ”
“ Family run resturant/bar- must-eats are the queijos portugueses (portuguese cheese board)!! and the Vinho verde (Portuguese white wine that is slightly sparkling)!!! Incredible place with great food and drinks! ”
“ Great little place in Alfama. Some of the best caiprioska's I've come across and at €5.50 each are some of the best value to be found anywhere. My partner really enjoyed her vegan burger, it isn't fake meat but the patty was great. Also home made, hand cut batata fritas that were well seasoned. Definitely stop in, also a pretty clean toilet which is great. ”
“ York is a hidden gem in the heart of Alfama. It makes the best burger in Lisbon or, dare I say, Portugal, as well as really tasty tostas and bifanas, among other food choices. In addition to the tasty food, the true taste in music is something that is worth mentioning! The prices are very cheap and the owners are wonderful and make you feel at home. One cannot ask for a better place to eat, drink and relax, highly recommended! ”
