Oficina do Duque

We had a really nice experience in this cosy restaurant. The service was excellent, atmosphere was nice and the food was very good. I recommend the meagre and also for starter the octopus with potatoes. My friends had some meat dishes which were also very nice. Highly recommend :)

P.S. I also recommend the chocolate mousse for dessert, however the olive oil may be slightly strange for you.

We enjoyed our dinner here and would definitely come back. It’s a cool little spot that doesn’t feel too touristy. Skip the octopus and the desert. The service was pretty good and the atmosphere in the back room was great.

Octopus: 3/5
Chicken dish: 5+/5
Tuna dish: 4/5
Banana desert: 3/5

In general, I liked my dining experience here. They have good quality ingredients, nice combinations of flavors and good execution. I ordered two small, plates, an entree and dessert. The grilled vegetables and cheese were delicious (first small plate), but the octopus was unfortunately very rubbery and tough when it’s supposed to be soft and tender. The highlight for me was the main course of roasted pork neck, celery and grapefruit. The meat was perfect and the celery puree was a nice combination, with enough acidity to balance the meat. The chocolate mousse with olive oil and salt was a very good ending to the meal. Even though it’s not the traditional Portuguese chocolate mousse, it’s not too sweet and very smooth, almost like a pudding.

The food was delicious. Please
MAKE a reservation. This restaurant is very small, so book in advance. It was raining so that and the view from the windows was nice. The service was good. The food was responsibly priced. The oxtail was yummy with a glass of red wine. Not much decor, but still was an amazing mood with my friend. The dessert was tasty and was made for sharing . I would definitely visit again.

By far the best food in Lisbon, prices are very reasonable too. Menu is short, dishes are unique like the outstanding shredded oxtail with pear puree.

Very motivated and friendly staff.

The only negative bit is the steep walk to reach it.

The environment is extremely nice, the restaurant itself is very pretty. With our group of friends we tried a lot of things and for every dish the flavors and textures were amazing. Another random detail that I really liked is that inside the restaurant (at least where we were sitting), the phone connection was basically nonexistent, which is a good excuse not to look at the phone. Definitely a place to come back to. Highly suggested!!

We had lunch here on our first day in Lisbon. It turns out to be one of the best meals we had in Lisbon after eating out for a week. The pumpkin soup was smooth and tasty. Codfish and octopus were some of the best. It’s even better than the Duque down the block.
