Came here to grab a quick bifana sandwich in my short stay in Lisbon. This place was recommended by my tour guide. I was really disappointed as my bifana sandwich was cold and flavorless. There was no sauce either. It was as generic as it gets. Go somewhere else.

This place was a great way to try out a bifana while visiting Lisbon. We had read that this is a simple but classic Portuguese dish: pork marinated in garlic, paprika and white wine, served on a soft roll. Sometimes with mustard or piri piri sauce. Some even add cheese. We were travel weary and had a light appetite so two sandwiches and two drinks came to somewhere around 15 euros - great deal! We sat outside facing the square and it was a nice experience.

Came here for lunch on a Monday and the place was relatively packed Pros: - The Bitoque was yummy, especially the runny egg on top - The Bifana was okay, pretty dry. Mustard helped with the dryness Cons: - Waited 20 min to get the menu and place an order - Chicken noodle soup was a bit on the saltier end and lukewarm

Casa das Bifanas is an authentic and tiny traditional Portugal restaurant located closely in the central of Lisbon. It was crowed when we were there but the wait was not bad. Their service was not so friendly but adequate. We ordered their signature Bifanas and grilled cod platter. The pork in the Bifanas was amazingly juicy even looked dry and welled flavored, it was braised long time in a huge pot by the window. The grilled cod was the best cod, not chewy but soft, we had in Lisbon. Overall, we will definitely recommend tourists to stop by here, the food was delicious with reasonable price.

Cute little place. Great food, friendly staff. The place was packed when we came in for breakfast. Got a little quieter when we left. Would recommend this restaurant.

Bifanas-*** Other food and service.- * Bifanas sandwiches are simmered Pork slices.I'm not crazy about this item in general, but it is one of the tastier establishments in Lisbon. Prices are reasonable and it seems to be popular with locals. However everything else on the menu is subpar. Unfortunately, I got their worse waiter in the house and in Portugal overall. I thought it was because I was a tourist, but I saw him treating everyone else worse. He literally threw silverware on the tables, and got irritated when anyone asked a question Or dared to ask for a menu. If you're waiting for the tram and decide to come in, i recommend ordering an omelette or a Bifana and a fresh orange juice and call it a day.

This small shop is famous for their signature bifana. Bifanas are a traditional Portugese sandwich with pork. The pork were big chunky pieces and very juicy, pairing perfectly with the crusty bread roll that the meat was stuffed between. The meat itself did not have much flavor though. I was also told to put mustard into it which did help to enhance the flavor a bit more. It was definitely a very affordable price and the sandwich itself is good to try, especially to snack on as you look for other food.

Looking for a quick and tasty lunch? Then grab a Bifana from this self proclaimed " House of Bofinas"! Go where the locals go, I always say and this place was packed with local bus drivers and street cleaners on the day I was there. I grabbed a table out on the patio and waited for my server to come and take my order. If you don't have time to sit and want to save a little money, go inside and stand and eat at the counter . . . Either way you are in for a real treat! A Bifana is a pork sandwich where the pork is cooked perfectly and the warm garlicky juice runs into the crusty bun. Add an order of fries and a cold beer and you have the perfect lunch! Because it's not a big tourist place no one speaks English so grab a menu and plan to point at what you want but the servers were great at understanding even me, so I know you will fare equally well. They also serve breakfast and a range of pastries and cakes. You may have to hunt for this place as it is often hidden by the big "hop on hop off" buses that load in the square but keep looking. It's definitely worth finding!

Amazing hole in the wall bifana shop in Lisbon! Authentic, cheap, and delicious. Ate multiple sandwiches at the counter, plus fries and beer. Very crowded for lunch but worth it. Good, fast service. If you are looking for a quick, delicious bite to eat, definitely check this place out!

Right around the corner from the Mundial Hotel where I was staying. Hits all the marks for inexpensive local food in a tourist area. Lots of choices on the menu other than the bifanas, but when in Rome, or in this case, Lisbon, you go with the flow. Unlike the experiences of other reviewers here, my waiter spoke excellent unaccented American English, and we actually joked around a bit about his being in the witness protection program. My sandwich arrived quickly, seemed a bit bland at first, but with a couple of hits of the Peri Peri sauce which was on the table, and accompanied by a beer, it certainly hit the spot. The "Portuguese" roll, incidentally, was not what I'm familiar with here in the eastern US, more like a soft whole wheat bun. Not better or worse, but different. Usually I opt for eating outside when I can, but in this case, I don't see the charm. The restaurant is on a city square, near a metro stop, and lots of busses. You're surrounded by traffic fumes, pigeons, locals, tourists, commuters, and as I was to learn on another day, pickpockets. Had every intention of returning to sample something else on their menu, but there are too many other things to see, do, and eat, while visiting Lisbon.
