Amazing traditional food with superb ingredients at Canalha. The molejas are a must-try.
chef, Lisboeta (Fitzrovia) · on SquareMeal
This is a new restaurant in Lisbon - and a very special one. Renowned chef João Rodrigues (of the Michelin-starred Feitoria) has opened a new casual spot that celebrates Portuguese produce in a fun and unconventional way. Loud and hearty, it offers a menu of small plates filled with unfussy, delicious dishes like carabineiro with fried egg and fries or an open omelet with shrimp. It's a re-imagined Lisbon restaurant from the '80s with the most incredible food and ingredients - simple yet sublime.
