Oishi Sushi
(Rua dos Correios 42; 8 rolls €6-8; lunch & dinner Mon-Sat )
Oishi (which means 'yummy' in Japan-
ese) delivers the goods with plump, mouthwatering sushi and
temaki
(hand rolls). There's
limited seating fronting the fast food-like counter, so you want to get it to go, and have an
impromptu picnic on nearby Praça do Comércio.

PORTUGUESE
€
(Rua dos Sapateiros 218; mains €7-10; lunch & dinner Mon-Sat)
A standout among the tourist traps of
Baixa, Bacalhoeiro serves good-value Portuguese fish and meat dishes. True to name, the
bacalhau
(cod) is excellent, the wines refreshing and affordable, and the atmosphere is
buzzing and casual.
Moma
(Rua de São Nicolau 47; mains €7.50-9; 12.30pm-6pm Mon-Fri)
A nice break from grilled sardines
and menu-touting hawks in Baixa, this local haunt boasts black-and-white tile floors and a
small but creative menu (spicy crispy prawns, pasta with wild mushrooms, and arugula
salad with goat cheese and grilled eggplant are three recent favourites).
FUSION

Nova Pombalina
(Rua do Comércio 2; sandwiches €3.50; 7am-8pm)
The reason this bustling traditional restaurant is
always packed around midday is its delicious
leitão
(suckling pig) sandwich, served on
freshly baked bread in 60 seconds or less by the lightning-fast crew behind the counter.
Other sandwich favourites include prosciutto and roast chicken.
