O Frade
Here you will find an excellent restaurant location, private parking, cozy atmosphere, picturesque decor, friendly and welcoming, variety of choices, typical regional dishes, and other national dishes. Be sure to try the excellent tapas, as this place is opposite the presidential palace and close to the botanical gardens. The restaurant is small, with bar-type seating, so it’s not suitable for a large group. The food is excellent and creative: rabbit, dried tuna with scrambled eggs, duck cutlets, cod flatbread, and the most incredible chocolate mousse. Very good service, overall a great find. The service is very pleasant and polite. Restaurants like this are popping up in Lisbon. Run by young chefs full of enthusiasm and determination, usually offering excellent, well-prepared traditional Portuguese cuisine with a twist.
