“ Really nice place with unique food. Empanadas are great. There are plenty of fillings and flavours. You can choose from ten or more. Draft beer is also an option. I liked it a lot. Coffee is served in unique cups, see photos. The manager is great and caring. The place is very small for up to ten people maximum. You can take away, though. ”
“ Such a nice and cozy spot with a beautiful design. The girl who helped us was really kind and welcoming. We tried the spicy beef and the truffle one—both were absolutely delicious! Both lemonades were so good and refreshing. Really happy to have found this spot—will definitely be back! ”

And there’s a charming yellow train that passes right in front of the place. I don’t even know how to describe it better you just have to go and see it for yourself! ”
“ Great spot in the tourist area here in Lisbon. Food was delicately expressed - the pastry was not too thick and not fried. In the US our empanadas are often very deeply fried and lose a lot of flavor. My favorite of the two was the truffle mozzarella. My service was completed by an enjoyable argentinian man who was very attentive. He was handling the rush when I arrived and did an excellent job and offered for me to try the single glass sangria like drink using Porto - it was fantastic. If you need a small evening bite I recommend this spot. ”
“ Empanada & iced coffee - both with chocolate and hazelnut and both very tasty. Great location. Was craving something sweet and cold after finally climbing up to Bica de Duarte Belo and got drawn to Empanar by its pretty interior. Small but very stylish place with good, friendly staff. Perfect for a little break. ”
