Lisbon has changed and so have tascas<\/em> since they opened in the late 19th century. But for someone visiting the city for the first time, these family-owned, tavern-like eateries look frozen in time. And overwhelming.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The service is whirlwind fast but extremely welcoming. The food portions are huge but affordable. There\u2019s a worried, motherly voice that shouts from the kitchen if you didn’t finish your meal: “Was it not good? Would you prefer something else?”<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n No one should eat without enjoying their meal and no one at a tasca<\/em> pressures you to give up your table. If a customer, regular or not, is in a hurry and the restaurant is full, the waiter will kindly but firmly ask you to scoot over and share the table. If there\u2019s room for one more, there\u2019s room for one more.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
