A small seafood restaurant near the Lisbon Cathedral. Locals seemed to love this place and be good friends with the owner.

Today I'm supposed to visit the Money Museum due to work, I searched for a restaurant near the desitnation.

I bought an Egg tart I in the bakery near the hotel to compare how it is different from Pastries de Belem. I'm still not sure the price gap is fair enough but it tasted quite different with harder texture.

We took tram 28 and it passed by Miradouro da Senhora do Monte. 

The tram stopped and didn't move for a long time. Other trams also stopped after ours and it made a long line of trams. Passengers took off to find out and so did I. 

At first, it was not easy to see what the problem was. However, you could see the parked vehicle is slightly on the range of the tram body. The driver must be a visitor, because it is the first thing you need to know, how to park near the tram lane in Lisbon. 

The restaurant was not open yet and the door was blocked with a chair, which is very clear sign. The staff was still having their lunch. 

The menu is written in many languages including Korean. Generally if they have this kind of menu, it is likely to be a tourists-targeting restaurant with poor quality, but there are also exceptions like this place. 

So we took a little walk around the area, and it was nice that the restaurant is very next to the Lisbon Cathedral.

I didn't take photos of the menu. 

I've heard that seafood rice is one of the Lisbon's specialty. It was not salty and tasted good.

The most of the guests seemed to know the owner well and had greetings for a long time.
