Fodor's Review:

In an alley between Praça dos Restauradores and Rua Portas de Santo Antão, and known locally as "Rei dos Frangos" ("King of Chickens"), Bonjardim specializes in superbly cooked spit-roasted chicken, best eaten with fries and a salad. The restaurant is crowded at peak times (8 PM-10 PM), but you shouldn't have to wait long, and watching the frenzied waiters is entertaining. An overflow dining room on the opposite side of the alley serves the same menu and has the same good deals.

At least it was a good value

I don't get all of the hype. The best thing about the place was the price. The chicken was good, but very over-salted. The same for the potatoes. The salad was a snore, but that seems to be the norm for "mixed salads" in Portugal. The atmosphere seemed typical of all the moderately-priced restaurants in the area. While I wouldn't say avoid it at all costs, I would say to consider other options.
