    An average dining experience. The place looks cheery in the pictures, but it’s a little less in reality. The food was good but nothing to write home about.

    One of the best steaks I’ve ever had and everything was reasonably priced with good portions. The restaurant was dark and moody which we really enjoyed along with the service.

    the place and the waiteress is kind of cute and welcoming but also a bit chilly needs some heating. and if it come to food, It's always a problem having delicious soft and properly cooked meat in Lisbon. and here the meat cooked as we wanted but it was still a bit chewy. the side dishes which we ordered and paid seperately was in really small portions. I can't say that we were full at the end of the meal. overall, it was not a bad experience but I guess I won't miss the place.

    We had a lovely meal for two here, tucked away down an interesting street, the restaurant was nice and relaxed. We both really enjoyed our steak and cod dishes and there were some wonderful wine and drink options to go with it. We also ordered desserts - both were very tasty (although nuts on a chocolate mousse should ideally be mentioned on the menu). I’d recommend this place for chilled out vibes with great food and very pleasant service.

    The quality of the meat is undoubtedly the main difference, the service is also very good, it makes us feel at home.

    The food was pretty good! I had already tried the meat so this time I decided to try something different, breaded octupus with this beans rice. Never tried octupus like this, I was curious (as Portuguese person I'm quite peculiar with my octupus) and it went so well with rice 😊 so meat previously approved, now sea food approved!

    The service was impeccable, we had a reserved table placed right next to window - which in turn created a lovely ambiance! I’d personally skip the breaded octopus, but the Portuguese style cod was immaculate. We finished off with the chocolate mousse and port pairing - what a lovely experience

    Service was very good but food was poor. Side dishes incorrectly described and had to send the picanha back. They acknowledged it and dealt with it well but the food was just really poor sadly

    Hi Josh, first of all, thank you very much for your comment. Unfortunately, your dinner was not perfect and that is a reason for us to learning from it. We are all human and are susceptible to mistakes, and it is no problem to correct trem. We would like to better understand which side dish descriptions are incorrect and correct them immediately. Regarding the picanha, we received high quality picanha from Uruguay, 100% grain-fed, and we know that nature is in charge of the animals, each animal only has one picanha, unfortunately yours had a problem that overtook us. Again we apologize for this and we have already contacted our supplier to try to understand why the meat was not perfect. Thank you very much for your visit and we hope to see you again to improve the impression of our restaurant. O fatica na Brasa team

    We dined last night and we’re impressed by this newly open restaurant. A large selection of high quality wines which the waitress suggest a bottle of rose which was delicious. Service was quick with perfectly cooked steaks. Would suggest to any one travelling to Lisbon our favourite restaurant in Portugal to date!

    This was my last meal in Lisbon and it was a wonderful experience. The meat croquettes were the best I had in Lisbon and the Brazilian beef picanha was delicious especially with the chimichurri. The wines were very reasonably priced and high quality. Service was friendly and attentive but not overburdening and the owner was very friendly. I will definitely be back the next time I’m in Lisbon.

    I have point out the general ambience, decor of the restaurant , great service and atentful staff. You can tell that a lot of effort was put into creating a welcoming and comfortable experience. On top of this, the food was absolutely amazing(The cut was Fraldinha in my case and Primado - Red Wine). Hard to find restaurants with high quality meat at a fair price these days.
