Tucked down a quiet alley off Avenida da Liberdade, Forninho Saloio has been serving home-style Portuguese cooking since 1995 — grilled octopus, charcoal-grilled sea bass and bacalhau com arroz de feijão in portions made for sharing. Prices stay honest despite the big-city address, which is why the lunch crowd is mostly local office workers. The dining room is tiny and fills fast, so book ahead or arrive right at noon.
