    When I’ve visited Lisbon last year, within five days we’ve eaten lunch or dinner at least once per day at McDonald’s. Why? It was early May and it was one of the only places accommodating to our accessibility needs in an air conditioned environment, free of cigarette smoke. Because that’s what you need when you have two children and a stroller, and McDonald’s is consistent.

    Plus some of the localized menu items were pretty amazing and the staff was super friendly.

        I’m not sure about that. But most restaurants downtown were semi-open, with some seating indoors, some outdoors along the streets. There doesn’t seem to be a law against smoking at the table outdoors, and the smoke just goes everywhere. If it’s not the people at the table, it’s the passersby or the staff on their break. Really bad experience in multiple places.
