Authentic Portuguese cuisine drawn from traditional recipes characterises the food served at this cosy eatery. Regions are well represented, but it's the fish and seafood that has put unpretentious Barracão de Alfama on the area's where to eat map. Dishes such as the grilled octopus and fish like salmon (and sardine, best savoured during the summer months) are menu favourites. So too is the shrimp and clam rice. An extensive wine list, again representative of the country, complements the tasty fare. Dessert choice is rich and sweet, but it's the fresh and tangy lemon mousse that often rounds up a lunch or dinner.
