Beco da Ribeira

Cute bar with tasty cheese and good house wine! We wish the cute loft wasn't for smokers because we really liked sitting up there until neighboring tables started smoking. Since the only non-smoking area is sandwiched between two smoking areas, it's pretty unavoidable once it gets busy. This doesn't seem to be an issue for most locals, but isn't very nice for us non-smokers.

Good food. Tapas bar/restaurant/bar. Cosy place. Recommend the cheese board.. Yum yum.. Open till 2am. Hard to spot as its hidden gem.. Friendly staff. Near main street and all bars and coffee shops.. Just off main street so parking a bit complicated. Outdoor and indoor seating. Rustic feel. Nice and young environment. Must visit place!

Cosy environment (however packed/lack of physical space), friendly staff, average food. Upstairs mezzanine looking more welcoming!

First thing I’ve started when arrived the place is to ask if credit card is accepted. I truly experienced that foreign visitors are discriminated because they don’t have that local Portuguese card (talking about Visa and MasterCard), that the place accepts. Let me add that at arrival they confirmed that my MasterCard is fine. Surprise surprise, upon bill paying they asked me to go to the ATM, because surprisingly their POS machine doesn’t accept my previously approved MasterCard. Shame, the staff didn’t even offer ANY compensation. Maybe cool place for locals, but rip off for tourist.

Great snacks, friendly staff, nice atmosphere and good location.
