Searched the interwebs high and low for the best Bifana in Lagos. After finding Cafeteria Avenida, we walked 25 minutes to taste their food. IT WAS SO WORTH IT. Truly a local spot, with Dona Fatima and her partner Joao manning the helm. Fatima was so kind and welcoming, making sure we were comfortable and well-fed. I HIGHLY recommend this place for anyone wanting a local experience, and better yet, an amazing Bifana! Two Bifanas and 2 cold drinks, 8.50 euros.

Very nice place to stop for a snack or lunch. The bifana was delicious and Fatima and Joao were very helpful even though we do not speak much Portuguese.
