This intimate Argentinian-inspired cantina in Lisbon infuses South American flair into local favorites, with standout dishes like crispy milanesa, empanadas, grilled octopus, and roasted leeks in almond purée in a cozy, buzzy setting.
Insider’s tip: Try to snag a seat by the wall; the tight layout gives you a front-row view of the kitchen’s action, and you’re closer to the dulce de leche pancakes (they tend to sell out).
