My fiancée and I stumbled on this place late in our trip to Lisboa and our only regret was that we hadn't found it sooner. We loved everything about this restaurant. The waiter that welcomed us in and served us was friendly and patient, made excellent recommendations and cultivated an experience that was more than just about eating good food, but helped us to understand what might be paired well together and even gave us a little background about what we were eating. The ambience also added to this culinary joy- the restaurant felt tucked away in a quiet corner, like an oasis of calm that provided refuge from the heat and bustle of the busy city outside. Patrons seemed to be a mix of tourists and locals, with mostly Portuguese being spoken, but we conversed in English and Spanish with several "neighbors" too. Everything we ordered was delectable- green wine (with a lovely mint garnish), some of the freshest cheese (a mix of cow's and goat cheese that changed the way I think about dairy products forever), warm bread and delicious olives set us up right. Then we got a dish with fall of the bone tender lamb chops and hands downs the best tomato polenta I've ever had as well as the dish of the day, which offered perfectly seasoned pork chops, a fried egg, best rice we encountered on the whole Iberian peninsula and french fries that had these New Yorkers pinching ourselves cuz it didn't seem real! We let our waiter order dessert for us and he brought out this really light and airy traditional Portuguese cake that was both delicious and offered a perfect finish to a wonderful meal, since it was sweet but not too heavy.
We would strongly recommend this place to anyone that can find it- by far both the best food and the best eating experience we had in Portugal!!
This place is amazing! My wife and I were in Lisboa last week and went to Restaurante Duque 2 nights in a row, and it was a highlight of our trip. The food was delicious, unique, and very affordable. I'm a vegetarian and my wife likes fish and meat (along with vegetabels) and Restaurante Duque had great options for both of us. We recommend the octopus, mushroom risotto, vegetable strudel, seafood rice, goat cheese cigar, and couscous salad, but I don't think you could go wrong with anything you choose. Everything was so authentic and flavorful! Junior and Pedro were unbelievable hosts (and owners) - friendly, accomodating, and all of their recommendations were on point. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and their music playlists are fun and eclectic. Anyone that goes to Lisboa NEEDS to eat here! (multiple times)
Restaurante muito acolhedor. Os pratos são bem confecionados . A destacar o serviço 5 ☆ da Carolyna .
Excelente serviço e comida sempre ótima! Recomendo vivamente a quem quer experimentar comida tradicional portuguesa
Um dos melhores restaurantes em Lisboa! Comida espectacular e serviço ainda melhor!
Sem dúvida que vou voltar :)
Great atmosphere, accompanied by a set menu of excellent quality.
The service is very good, but the highlight goes to the preparation of food. I can't recommend anything in particular as everything is excellent, from the 'Petiscos', appetizers and of course the main courses.
However if I had to choose only one dish from the entire menu and which we always chose every time we came here would be the Mushroom Risotto.
Perfect, Amazing, food very delicious and not expensive and the team is excellent ! We recommend again and again. Great restaurant in Lisboa !
Espaço muito acolhedor e pequeno (não é muito adequado para grupos). Tem um preço muito acessível. A comida é excelente e o serviço também é bom.
Apesar do espaço não ser grande, marquei um jantar de grupo e foi tudo 5*****
O pessoal é super simpático e a comida excelente. Um sitio a repetir sem duvida!
Parabéns pelo espaço, comida e simpatia.
We had dinner yesterday in this restaurant! The food was amazing, fresh, properly prepared and great value for the price. We definitely will go back and suggest to others! Also the restaurant service was very good they attended fast and were very friendly, we felt like home :) Well done!
Fui almoçar com um pequeno grupo de amigos a este restaurante, optámos pelo menu de almoço. Tinha várias opções de peixe e carne, comida portuguesa no geral muito agradável. Os pratos de carne vinham com boa porção de acompanhamento, nos pratos de peixe à oportunidade de melhoria a nível do acampamento ( 1 pequena batatinha, 2 ou 3 pauzinhos de cenoura e umas raspas de courgette não nos pareceu suficiente). O preço é bastante justo face ao que está incluído do menu e à qualidade dos pratos. O ambiente e o serviço é bastante bom. Vamos certamente repetir.
Adorei os petiscos e as sobremesas. Simpatia por parte de todo o pessoal. Dá para conversar. Decoração é "bem disposta" e muito portuguesa. Recomendo.
