There is actually no Zé at Zé da Mouraria. There is a Virgílio, not from Mouraria but from the Minho region. He opened the neighbourhood's most popular restaurant 17 years ago, where once a Galician fellow had a grill named Zé dos Grelhados. Now that you know about the name, let us tell you about their internationally renowned roast cod, whose secret is to use thick slices with no bones while adding good quality chickpeas, olive oil and roast potatoes. Also great: the veal steaks with garlic and the garlic cuttlefish.
Time Out tips:
– Barbecue ribs are served on Wednesdays, oven-roasted duck rice on Thursdays.
– The perfect place for weekend lunches – you won't be sent away.
– For dinnertime, book a table at Zé da Mouraria II, located in the Campo Mártires da Pátria.
