Trinka na Hora

Portuguese and Mediterranean-style tapas are the speciality of this popular Bairro Alto restaurant-bar. The menu is select but exciting, the choice including an inspired mushroom dish served with alheira - a sausage of bread, garlic and chilli mixed with small amounts of pork and chicken. You might also consider the succulent fried prawns, a house speciality. Vegetarians are catered for, too: the fried green bean dish is deliciously complemented by a subtle combination of herbs and spices. Trinka na Hora is also a noted cocktail, though drinks are served as part of a meal, or when waiting for a table. Live music occasionally accompanies the service, which lends the restaurant and even more agreeable atmosphere.
