Adega Das Gravatas - Lisbon

Só experimentei este restaurante na altura covid e não desiludiu! As mesas estavam afastadas, os funcionários prestações e a comida divinal! Depois temos o espaço em si que é bastante acolhedor. Aconselho vivamente a sobremesa red velvet.

Food nice, no complaints on that front. Billing a little manipulative. We arrived to a table that contained two prices of bread, a small block of cheese etc. typically these items are complementary. We were charged for these items (not cheap either). In theory one should refuse these items or beware.

There are so many places in Lisbon with delicious steak. This restaurant isn’t one of them. We ordered the steak on hot stone. Would not recommend. Beef was extremely chewy and had zero taste. Stone not hot enough therefore no nice crust on the steak, unless you want it well done. Needed 2 extra stones, overall not the most practical thing. Weird smell at entrance of the restaurant. Kitchen and grill look like a mess. Won’t be coming back. Quality over quantity is unheard of. The waiter was nice though. Big up

We knew we had hit the jackpot when my friend and I arrived at the restaurant at noon and saw the queue! The feature of the restaurant is in its name: one can see ties of various colours and designs hung on the ceiling. The staff were friendly and ready to help (Given that you spoke Portuguese; Otherwise, I assume they 'd act like mystic Greek gods like every Portuguese restaurant). We were greeted with a generous portion of Cozido à Portuguesa , a traditional, rustic dish composed of boiled meats and vegetables typically served only on Sundays. It consisted of traditional sausages like the chouriço, farinheira (wheat sausage), and morcelo (blood sausage); Different cuts of meat like beef, pork, pig ears, trotters. It also comes with a side of meat-scented cabbage, carrots, potatoes, rice, and beans. This is a perfect dish for those who likes a diversified palette like me or gym rats that are all about their protein intake. The overall experience was pleasant, and I would gladly leave a nasty comment so it would be less crowded. Will definitely be back to try the octopus and steak on the rock!

Conhecem aquele ditado: nunca volte ao sítio onde foste feliz. Foi o que me aconteceu com este restaurante. Foi a segunda vez que fui e fiquei desiludida.
