Tapas n' Friends Trindada

The francesinha is the queen of all typical Portuguese tapas, and we weren't going to be any different, so we decided to try this tapas place frequented by Lisbon residents. We ordered codfish balls, codfish with pepper sauce, and the francesinha. Everything was remarkably good, although being a franchised tapas place, it's quite obvious that the dishes are mass-produced, albeit of high quality. I recommend trying all the meat and fish dishes, as well as the codfish balls, which were tremendously good and the ceviche.

Nice Location, however, service and food was not good. The service seemed to not care and was not attentive. You did not feel welcome. The food was cold and dry and it did not taste good. It seems/looked like the food was simply "microwaved". I did not finish the Hot Dog as it simply did not taste good. We had better similar food at other places.

I had food there today at about 3pm, which I did enjoy eating, and included a prawn dish. After a couple of hours I did not feel well and had a sleep. However, when I woke up I felt worse and quite sick. Then by 7pm I vomited up everything I had eaten. I’m guessing it was the prawns but don’t know for definite. So it’s safe to say I won’t be going back or recommending this restaurant.

Came to this place specifically because we were craving tapas at 9pm (2 hours before closing time). When I arrived, the place was half occupied and a very rude waiter came and told us “it’s just me today”. We asked if it was closed and he just said he didn’t want to take any more tables and he was done for the day. I’d seen reviews mentioning bad service and now I know why. Anyway! I would avoid this place and recommend you go across the street to Boa-Bao which has friendy service and really tasy asian food!

A little disappointed with this restaurant. We came here for late lunch and everything was underwhelming. The cod cakes were dry and oily, octopus salad was chewy but the sauce on the meatballs were the highlight of our meal.

We went into this restaurant with high hopes after studying the menu. The menu offered interesting items so we thought we would give it a try. The food was not completely terrible but it was far from outstanding. The worst was the nachos and guacamole. This dish was served with Doritos chips and pre-made guacamole, see attached picture. The fries with truffle oil were underwhelming and did not taste like truffle. The stuffed mushroom caps were way too salty even though the mushrooms and quail eggs were good. I suspect the octopus salad started its life as a Mexican salsa and was repurposed as a salad. The fried squids were rubbery and the batter was thick - tasted like store bought.

Amazing tapas in Lisbon, 40 euros for 2 people and around 3 dishes each. Service was okay Perfect place in a hot summer day. Ordered sweet chili chicken fingers, olives, tomato mozzarella bruschetta, goat cheese honey bruschetta and fries with ham and eggs Good quality and fresh ingredients.

Came here for late lunch / early dinner. Overall okay with the experience. We’ve ordered Beer White Wine Patatas Bravas Chicken Wings Croquetas Total: 24.50€ Waiting time wasn’t long and really nothing special with the food we’ve ordered. I was not too fond of the croquetas, a decent taste of chicken wings—the same thing with the Patatas bravas. Reasonable price as well compares to when you’re in the city center.
