5/10Too 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.

Great experience with seating at the counter. Good value for money. Unfortunately the squid was out. We had a great time and recommend O Frade.

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.

5/10Food was much saltier than we were expecting which led us to be unable to finish the relatively modest portions of food served. Service was prompt, though felt ingenuine at times. Also was asked to tip though no other restaurant in neither Portugal nor Spain asked for gratuity. This came across as touristy.

10/10We made a reservation a few weeks in advance, but due to delayed flight had to reschedule. One phone call to the restaurant and they rescheduled out reservation but said that now it’s for the outside seating. When we arrived they managed to seat us inside, which was very nice. Fine food, very good service! We left very satisfied!

8/10Everything was very tasty. I had been a few years ago and had been dreaming of the octopus and bean stew. It was still tasty, but the octopus was very chewy this time, instead of melt-in-your mouth. The mushroom rice and desserts were delicious.

7.5/10We 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.
