    10/10

    Dining at O Frade was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The restaurant combines a cozy, welcoming atmosphere with dishes that truly capture the essence of Portuguese cuisine. We started with the clams, which were incredibly fresh and cooked in a flavorful garlic and wine sauce — absolutely delicious. The octopus was tender, perfectly grilled, and had a wonderful smoky taste that showed real attention to detail. The Frade’s Duck Rice was the star of the evening — rich, comforting, and bursting with flavor. You could tell it was made with care and tradition. The cod with potatoes was another highlight, perfectly balanced and beautifully cooked. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and full of authentic flavors. The service was friendly and attentive, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for genuine Portuguese food made with passion and served in a warm, inviting setting, O Frade is a must-visit. We can’t wait to return!

    The food was overall great, though the clams were a bit fishy to my taste. The service was excellent, but the dining space was a bit cramped. All in all, it was a wonderful dining experience. 8.5/10

    It’s 2025, when an experience is ruined by a restaurant that doesn’t mention ingredients in their menu not much else needs to be said.

    Dishes varied in quality from good to excellent. The octopus stew was excellent. Busy with mostly tourists (likely due to inflated trip advisor ratings). Price was high for the area with dishes approximately 20E and a dinner for two 120E.

    The service was excellent from the team. Loved the razor clams and the walnut cake icecream. Found the duck rice a tad salty but otherwise ok.

    The food and the service at this restaurant were just outstanding. We sat outside, which seems to be where most of the tables are and the seats were a little weird kind of tight with padded wooden folding chairs, but well worth it for the incredibly delicious meal served by a delight staff. It was our last evening visiting Lisbon and we went out on the high note. The menu doesn’t accurately convey how delicious the food they serve is. We definitely recommend this gem of a restaurant.

    Very good service and food. Tiny location so reserve well ahead. 7:00 means 7:00 if that’s your time. We arrived a bit earlier - only negative was we were told rather abruptly that no we couldn’t wait in the shade outside by their patio since they open at 7. It’s hard to determine an exact arrival time when you’re not sure of the restaurant location as a visitor. But service once seated made up for that encounter.

    The food was okay. It felt like it could have been better in terms of a finer dining experience. I can see that care went into the food preparation, but as a total experience it felt a little overrated and like it was resting on old reviews. It also felt like a little bit of a tourist trap.

    My 2nd time at this restaurant and the flavors are incredible. My only reason for not giving 5 stars was the food was a little bit too salty and we ate in June and the corner we were sitting was so hot! Other than that this is really exciting, imaginative and incredibly tasty food and the staff are amazing. I could not fault the service, all the staff were knowledgeable, kind and so friendly. Will be back

    My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to O Frade. It was our first dinner in Lisbon and was a very nice way to get things started on our trip. This restaurant provided such a personal experience from the seating arrangement and service. You are seated around a bar and can watch the chefs plate and complete your dish before it is served. All of our dishes were delicious! The staff also provided us an excellent wine recommendation to pair with our meal. Overall, it was a memorable evening and would recommend to others visiting the Belem area of Lisbon.

    Too much hype and not really well delivered. Staff could be better trained, food was just OK and you get eat better modern Portuguese food at other restaurants in Lisbon for cheaper. White wine was served at room temperature, waiter had not a big knowledge of the menu and the food was very uninspiring, which was a pity as I had hight hopes. Seat was also terrible, by the window with no space for the feet, they should not use that space for costumers.

    Amazing food, from apps to mains to dessert! The wine recommendations were great as well. The staff were friendly and very amicable. Highly recommend their razor clams for a starter. We didn’t have their salads but saw them prepping it and it all looked super fresh! I’d skip the tartare, it was good but I didn’t find it anything special but still good food. The duck rice was really good but the oxtail was even better than expected. And I’d skip the octopus main and get the squid instead. We can’t decide between the walnut cake or the chocolate mousse. Both just as decadent! Highly recommend. They are also at Time Out Market.
