A strong reason to go to Galeto, if you need to, is the incredible long counter where you can sit side by side and face another customer, a layout that makes it unique in the city. Allied to this, will be the complete menu of traditional food and the generous hours it is open, feeding the nightjars of Lisbon when no one else gives them shelter. From 7 am, it accompanies Lisbon's different appetites: breakfast, lunch, a combo, a hamburger in brioche bread or a drink. Less known is the dining room on the lower floor, which is also worth a visit.
The current owner says he remembers the opening day, in 1966, when he was thirteen. His father was one of the six partners who, having already made their way in the restaurant business in Brazil, wanted to replicate the experience in Portugal. The model they imported focused on a small barbecue chicken, which in Italian is called a galleto. It was the Italian community in Brazil that popularized it, and it was these six Portuguese who brought it back to Europe.
