Restaurante O Frade

Visiting O Frade was a really interesting and enjoyable experience. First of all, I definitely recommend making a reservation in advance. For starters, we had their pie, and for the main courses, we ordered oxtail and fish. Everything was very tasty, but what made it truly special was sitting at the chef’s counter — a U-shaped bar surrounding the open kitchen. Watching the whole cooking process up close added a unique and exciting touch to the evening, and I really enjoyed it. Everyone was very friendly, and the wine we ordered was also delicious. The whole experience was fantastic — I highly recommend visiting this place!

Very good food & exceptional service! We had been here once before and they already recognized us! They even remembered the wine we had which also was impeccable. The food is fresh, elegant, and light. Our favorite restaurant around Lisbon. One we will always try to visit if we go to Portugal.

We have been lucky and we got our place at the bar. Dont be worried, its best seating in the restaurant. You got perfect service, you can see how meals are prepared and all the attention to details. We got rabbit as starter (AMAZING STUFF), then oxtail and fish + daily special sweet dot. Splendid experience.

Absolutely delicious food, was highly recommended by a friend and this did not disappoint. Lovely dishes well cooked. We had the asparagus with eggs, duck rice, and the walnut cake, and three glasses of wines (Vinho Verde, and two lovely reds). Fantastic table service by the waiter and chef. Sit inside at the bar and watch the kitchen in action!

Absolutely incredible experience. The food here is outstanding… every dish was packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. But what really took it to the next level was the service. Rodrigo, our server, was amazing… super informative, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food and wine. He made thoughtful recommendations and created such a warm, welcoming vibe. You can tell this place cares about the entire experience, not just the meal. Easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve had on my trip. Highly recommend!

Our dinner at O Frade yesterday was sublime! What a fantastic restaurant. I’ve been here several times and it always delivers. IMHO one of the top restaurants in Lisbon: the razor clams, duck rice, rabbit and especially the pork, which I don’t eat often, were all very delicious. But the walnut cake with ice cream and glazed walnuts topped it all. Don’t miss this restaurant.

The best meal in Lisbon! The kitchen and service staff were top notch! It was fun watching the chef and her crew put the creative dishes together. The plating was perfect. The pacing was on spot. The servings were generous. My water aka wine glass was never empty. I don't care how full you are - get a dessert. You won't regret it. I'll be back to this charming place to stuff my face - delicately. Find out why this place is on the Michelin list three years in a row. Thank me later.

Top notch all round. I had lunch here today and it was excellent, the staff were lovely and the place had a nice vibe. The photo of the razor clams I’m attaching doesn’t do them justice, however I was so eager to start eating them I’d already got through half of them before I took a photo. Some of the portions are large, so if you want to try more items and are by yourself you might want to try several starters rather than go for a main. The staff recommendations were excellent, and I also loved the green wine and house red.
