Only outside seating available, which may be a bit uncomfortable in the evening. Inside only barstool seats. Regrettably food was much less tasty than we expected. However service was excellent.

We had a wonderful experiences at O Frade 2 years ago so wanted to go back while visiting Lisbon this time. Sadly we were very disappointed. We arrived to find our booking was cancelled even though I called and confirmed it that afternoon. At first they were not going to let us stay until one server admitted that there was an error made by the person I had spoken too. Begrudgingly that offered us a table outside rather than at the bar which I had asked for although it wasn't full. It was cold and windy on the outside terrace. Finally our waiter turned on the heater and also gave us blankets. Our starters took a long time to arrive as we watched enviously the other tables receive their food. Thankfully our food finally arrived which was very good on the whole although the cod we a bit dry. The main dishes were good but the turbot had too much sauce for my liking. Our waiter was good but overall a very disappointing experience.

Not a place to spend more money than neighboring places. Salty food and unfriendly service. Please ask how much they charge for uninspired 3 small pieces of bread before making reservation.

The food was delicious, the staff, especially the host/manager (we forgot to get her name), was very helpful in suggesting what to order (ox tail, chocolate mousse), and even helped us with the tram schedule (we traveled via public transit from our central Lisbon hotel). Would definitely come again.

Had a weeknight dinner in the restaurant with 5 other clients. No tables... food and drinks served at a horseshoe shaped bar. Prices were reasonable. Problems arose when our dinners exited the backroom kitchen to be garnished/plated by young chef. A solo English speaking guest decided this was a great time conduct a wine tasting and deep dive into his menu options etc. This went on for more than 15 minutes as our meat, French fries and fish sat on the counter going cold. Unfazed the young chef dressed and plated our food...dropped the now tepid proteins, ice cold French fries, and walked to the back door to the cook station to yuk it up with the sous chef and dish washer... totally ignoring our waves to discuss the food. We are what wasn't cold...paid the bill and left.

The food is really delicious! All of it, we tasted several things, the rices (mushrooms and duck) are super tasty and creamy. The starters are also very good (muxama salad, eggs with asparagus, razor clam pastry and razor clam with garlic and herbs sauce). The only problem we had this time was that they forgot one of the dishes we ordered, when the waiter checked our order it was there, but somewhere from the order to the kitchen it vanished. So everybody was eating while one of us was almost half an hour waiting for his rice. If it was my restaurant I wouldn't have charged for this dish, or would have offered something else as an apology, but no they didn't. Now regarding the price, it's very expensive, for me only works for really special occasions, not daily.

Truly amazing meal. Great sitting at the chef’s counter. The oxtail is one of the best dishes I’ve had that I can remember. The tuna salad was top too, and very fresh. Mushroom rice also delicious - with 4 types of mushrooms! I would say desserts aren’t as high standard as the starter and main but overall all the flavours are amazing. Good selection of wine too!

The razor clam and the pie were really good. I also tried the squid which was a bit too salty. Service-wise, the bartender is super helpful and nice but be careful when you pay. The person who was in charge of payment added tips without my consensus which I found sneaky.

Realky enjoyed my first visit. Server was attentive and knwokedgeable. Food was served in a tinely manner and portions were decent for a Michelin Bib. We had the wine that was crafted by the restaurant paired to the fish dish. Would recommend sharing dishes if coming with someone else as you get to try different amazing dishes! Loved the high top chair, open kitche n concept.

The food here is exceptional. The ingredients and vibe are portuguese, but such care and pride is taken in the execution of the dishes that it is a joyful experience to eat here. We had returned here especially after having last been in Lisbon 4 years earlier and having loved it then. We were not disappointed. Highly recommended and allow yourselves to be guided in the choice of wines also. A great list with some interesting optinos.

Should stick to traditional cooking and not try to modernise classic dishes. The cooking was imprecise, some dishes lacking salt, some too salty, some cooked too much, some barely warm....
