Experts' Choice Award Bonjardim
What the experts agree on
Legendary spit-roasted chicken joint near Rossio—crispy, piri-piri-spiced, and ridiculously cheap. A Lisbon institution where locals and visitors queue for perfectly grilled fowl that defines Portuguese comfort food.
“Cheap, cheery, and central (just around the corner from Rossio square), they've been grilling fowl here for decades.”
– Frommer's

Fodor's "Bonjardim specializes in superbly cooked spit-roasted chicken, best eaten with fries, a salad, or creamed spinach, and spicy piri-piri. " Full review
Let's Go "Dine outside and enjoy your meal from the “king of chicken” while watching either crabs and lobsters duke it out in the window aquarium." Full review
