Floresta das Escadinhas

Inside what was once a church in the Baixa, Floresta das Escadinhas runs a compact tasca whose tables spill out onto the stone stairway beyond the door. Meat and fish are cooked over charcoal, framed by a menu of Portuguese classics that has barely shifted in decades. Its busiest stretch comes at lunchtime, when the room and the steps fill up.
