Bifana
Luiza M.

Stopped here on a food tour and got to try a traditional, Portuguese Bifana! These sandwiches are so simple but hit the spot, the true star of the show is the bread (it's SO good!). Be sure to add mustard and piri piri if you try

Yummy

Food: Delicious! Good amount of meat in Bifana. Flavor was juicy and delicious! Add mustard and chili oil and it elevated it to another level of deliciousness. The fries were crispy and perfect. Everything served fresh and hot. Service: Super attentive and friendly. Ambiance was good, we sat outside not much of a view just a regular street with cars passing by. Inside was nice just preferred being outside. Highly recommend.

Heavenly Bifana

Best bifanas, friendliest staff, family run. Go for it! Soup is great too. 25cL beer and Vinho Verde are a treat.

Quick,Fast, Friendly and so reasonable. Recommend by a local and definitely not touristy. Filled with University students we knew we had hit something good. We had the traditional Bifana and the Bifana with cheese. At 7pm at night , the bread was so fresh and the marinated pork delicious. They have red and white sangria on tap along with beer and soda. Plenty of seating inside.

Solar was one of the stops on our street food tour. It is far from fancy but it's absolutely tasty. We enjoyed bifana which despite the pronunciation (bee-fah-na) is made with pork. A traditional bifana sandwich is typically "stand-up" food, eaten at a snack bar counter and with a small beer (cerveja pequena). I had this one here and another later on my trip. They were quite similar. Served on a fluffy white roll with the thin-sliced pork, it is accompanied by two condiments - mustard and peri peri sauce. I enjoyed both but the spicy peri peri was my preference. This is a tiny shop with just a few seats inside. You're not going to be lingering at Solar da Madalena. Eat and go. Which is fine - that's the Portuguese tradition for such a restaurant. Enjoy! [Review 19001 overall - 199 in Portugal - 2525 of 2022.]

I enjoyed the must try pork sandwich in Lisboa, Portugal at Solar da Madalena. The service was professional and efficient. The ambiance was at a standard noise level. I had a positive experience and I would recommend this place.

Excellent place to stop by for a quick bite! There are tables and chairs for you to sit down. Recommend the bifana with chili oil and mustard.

Solar da Madalena was the third stop of our food tour, and we tried the bifanas. The bifanas were amazing, especially with the mustard and chili oil. It reminded me of something my family would make, which made me love it even more.

Popular cafe that had a line on a Tuesday morning at 8:30 AM. This was the better of the 2 bifanas I had. Portuguese roll with slices of marinated pork inside. Quality and filling for €2.50.
