Conga - Casa das Bifanas
An old-school spot serving bifanas since 1976, featuring thinly sliced pork loin in bread—cheap, fast, and a local favorite.
Located around 318 Rua do Bonjardim, this spot has been selling bifanas since 1976. Thinly sliced pork loin is simmered in a sauce of wine, paprika, and chili, then stuffed into bread. A portion costs about €3.30–€3.60, and paired with a small beer, it is about €5. A common pairing is roasted quail, and Francesinha is also on the menu. Crowds build up after 12:30 PM, so late morning is a more relaxed time to visit. There is a second family-run location on the same street with more seating. Opening hours vary across platforms, so it is recommended to confirm before heading out.
Opening hours
Recent sources suggest daily from around 10:00 AM to midnight, and later on weekends; some platforms list Monday to Saturday 11:30 AM–10:00 PM, closed Sunday. Subject to change.
