Somewhat disappointing. Had fish with veg. Dorada was good but the veg - ghastly, must've been cooked hours earlier, potates yellowed, carrots just edible. But the broccoli, urgh - to reproduce the experience soak an old bath sponge in overboiled cabbage water, heat to tepid and serve. Told waiter, nice guy, smiled but unsurprised.
Great spot for lunch. Food was excellent. Mojito and beer was on point.
Churrasco da Graça - Where the Seafood is Sacred and the Tram is a Co-Star When your sister Jo insists on celebrating her birthday at her favourite local, you don’t argue. You show up hungry and ready for a seafood sermon. Churrasco da Graça, perched right on Largo da Graça, is the kind of place where the codfish is king, the octopus is grilled to perfection, and the potatoes (fried or baby-boiled) deserve their own standing ovation. We ordered like we meant it … bacalhau two ways (because why choose?), sea bass (a family classic), and polvo that didn’t skimp on the tentacles. Pro tip: next time, order the tuna rare - lesson learned. Chickpeas made a surprise cameo as a side, and honestly? They held their own. Drinks? Sagres beer flowed freely, and for the sweet-toothed among us, sangria in both branco and tinto versions kept spirits high and cheeks rosé. Now, let’s talk about the real showstopper: the number 28 tram. It stops right outside, and our very own Dion turned it into a full-blown photo shoot. Every missed shot was met with a collective groan from the outdoor tables, and when he finally nailed it - cheers all around. Who needs dessert when you’ve got that kind of entertainment? Service? One-man show Julio runs the floor like a seasoned pro - multilingual, efficient, and somehow always exactly where you need him. Jo’s been coming here for three years and never caught his name. After a round of rock-paper-scissors, Sean was nominated to ask in his best Portuguese: “Como se chama?” And just like that, Julio became part of the family. Verdict: Generous portions, consistent quality, unbeatable value, and a front-row seat to Lisbon life. Highly recommended - just don’t forget to cheer when Dion gets the shot.
