Ade S.

My recent trip to Lisbon was filled with fascinating sights and sounds, but one experience truly stands out: a delightful dinner at Oficina do Duque. It wasn't just the delicious food that certainly played a part. What made the evening truly special was how it brought together the diverse cultural flavors of my friends and me, perfectly blending them with the restaurant's unique offerings. We hailed from all parts of the world: France, Congo, Poland, Nigeria, Germany, and the United States. As you can imagine, our culinary preferences spanned the globe. Yet, Oficina do Duque managed to cater to each of us with exquisite grace. A Fusion of Charm and Sophistication The restaurant's ambiance itself was a delightful fusion. Stepping inside was like entering a warm embrace of traditional Portuguese charm infused with a touch of modern sophistication. The cozy yet stylish setting, dim lighting, and soothing background music instantly put us at ease. It felt like the perfect refuge after exploring Lisbon's streets. Service with a Smile Our server, Nikki, from Brazil, deserves a special mention. Her warm and engaging personality immediately made us feel welcome, and her knowledge of the menu was awe-inspiring. She patiently guided us through the unique offerings, recommending dishes that perfectly catered to our varied tastes and dietary restrictions. Nikki's attentiveness, without being intrusive, added another layer of charm to the evening. A Culinary Canvas of Flavors The menu at Oficina do Duque was a revelation. It was a creative tapestry woven from traditional and contemporary Portuguese cuisine, each dish a work of art on a plate. For example, the Meagre rice and coriander dish was a symphony of textures and flavors, the delicate fish perfectly complementing the fragrant rice and vibrant coriander pesto. Then, there was the oxtail-rich spear and chicaros dish. The slow-cooked oxtail melted in our mouths, its richness balanced beautifully by the earthy notes of the chicaros and the tangy chimichurri sauce. Every bite was a testament to the chef's culinary skill, a delightful dance of spices and ingredients that left us wanting more. More Than Just a Meal Oficina do Duque is more than just a restaurant; it's an experience. It's a place where cultures come together, flavors burst on the palate, and laughter fills the air. It's a place that celebrates the diversity and richness of life, just like the blend of cultures in our group that evening. So, whether you're a local or a traveler, I urge you to add Oficina do Duque to your Lisbon itinerary. With its warm ambiance, exceptional service (a big shoutout to Nikki!), and, most importantly, it's delicious and innovative cuisine, it's an experience you won't soon forget.

We walked in without a reservation before 6 pm and somehow snagged the last table for two. Several groups were turned away shortly afterwards, so it'd be wise to make a reservation. For food we ordered the chicken, beer and citrus appetizer, codfish, and oxtail. The chicken, beer and citrus app was well seasoned but the chicken itself was overcooked. Cod was perfectly cooked and very tender but flavor wise it was too bland for my liking. I wished there was more acidity to the dish. The oxtail was definitely the highlight of our meal. The meat was tender and I liked the balance of savory and sweet. The different textures also played well together. All things considered, this was a pretty average meal. I wouldn't put Oficina do Duque on my list of must-try restaurants in Lisbon

Staff was amazing! Decor has a very cozy vibe. Good was delicious. We had a fix meal. We had a 3 course Meal which included 2drinks. We selected Appetizers: Octopus. & Mini Slider Burger Main Course: Tuna & Steak entrees Dessert: Chocolate Mousse & Banana Cake Best to Make Reservations. Try this place if you can.

Perhaps the best meal we had in Lisbon. Every dish on the menu was incredibly creative and absolutely fantastic. The food was so great we came two nights consecutively. The pumpkin soup with pip n cottage cheese is a must order. It consisted of all the flavours one can imagine - sweet, salty, savory, creamy. Wow . Just wow! I've never eaten an entree at restaurant that planted a scoop of mint gelato on top of couscous and lamb. The experience of flavors was unique. It makes me want to start putting ice cream on top of everything. The best entree in my opinion was the oxtail. No fork needed. The oxtail was tender as can be and was accompanied by a corn? Which was excellent . Lastly, the cod. A Portuguese staple. Cooked to perfection and paired with lentils. Amazing as well.

We try to avoid restaurants along the tourist traps but after reading good reviews, we decided to give it a try. Great location with plenty of outdoor seating. Our waitress (tall with glasses) was great! However, my fish of the day was over cooked and the white purée sauce (onion cream?) tasted weird. The lamb dish was good but nothing to write home about.

The oxtail dish was very tender and delicious

Kevin B.

We came for a late lunch and had good food and a decent overall experience. The oxtail entree was very tender and tasty, and my friends enjoyed the fish, too. The pasta dish was actually just one large noodle, enchilada-style. The service was very inattentive, and we had to find people to help us with the order. Pretty slow, too, but I suppose that's Portuguese time haha!

Justin W.

My dish was one of my favorite pork dishes from a 9-day trip. I liked the contrast between the caramelized pork in balsamic sauce and the celery purée. Get the bread with duck pate for a great starter for just under two euros. The restaurant has some fun outdoor seating not far from a nice view of the castle.

Raychel H.

Super delicious hidden gem! It was quite a hike up to the restaurant but definitely worth it! We arrived about 645 and were able to be seated right away. We had the bread and duck pate. The crostini-like bread was delish, I wasn't a huge fan of the pate but my husband liked it. My steak was absolutely tasty. It was perfectly cooked and the little bit of sauce it was on was perfection. It was salty and juicy and so so good. The runny egg it came with actually was great to dip my fries in. My husband had the oxtail and said it was great. For dessert we had the chocolate mousse and it was perfection - the best mousse I have ever had. 100% recommend making the hike to this place.

Donna B.

Loved this pace. On our second day, we got smart about checking reviews and just walking into places and being disappointed. This looks lace was highly rated, understand why. Small place, you need reservations. A memorable dinner.

Our second trip to Lisbon and 2nd time dining here. Nice outdoor dining option in the era of COVID, but had to settle for indoor next to an open window due to the place being reasonably busy. Waiter was very nice in a sarcastic way. Good options for red wines by the glass. This time, started with a duck pate served with toasted and buttered bread as well as fresh bread for only $1.65 euros! Sorry forgot to take a picture I was so hungry. We then had a number of entrees: 1. the chicken pasta which was beautifully presented rolled in a pastry and my daughter really enjoyed it 2. Seared tuna which was presented on an amazingly smooth and creamy mashed potatoes with slightly crisped root vegetable strings. Also quite tasty 3. Hamburger and cuttlefish burgers aka sliders were quite good and my son plowed through these. 4. And the steak which was nicely seared and served with fries and a poached egg. Also quite good Unfortunately no room for dessert. So definitely recommend making the climb to this little neighborhood gem restaurant tucked into a cute corner with super nice staff and fantastic food and wine choices at amazingly reasonable prices!

Meily A.

This restaurant was within a block from our hotel in Lisbon so we stumbled upon it while walking around. It's located centrally in the Chiado neighborhood and close by many major attractions. During our 3 day stay in Lisbon we came twice because we liked it so much. Our first night we shared a soup as appetizer but my favorite dish was the oxtail. I've had oxtail soup a lot because it's a regional dish in my country but I've never had oxtail as tender and flavorful as the one here. The menu is really creative and they have many interesting pairings including lamb with mint ice cream and couscous. I recommend sitting outside. The only downside which is not the restaurants fault is that on our second night while having dinner a lot of guests were smoking and it definitely made us rush through food and wanna leave. If this place had a no smoking policy it would be perfect. If you visit Lisbon this is a great place for dinner.

Florence V.

Amazing modern style food. It is quite a trek to get up to the restaurant with so many steep steps if you walk. The food was worth the hike up and service is more attentive than most restaurants in Lisbon. The pork cheek with celery purée and grapefruit is ok but definitely try the oxtail dish and fish of the day. For dessert my favorite was the chocolate mousse which was incredibly creamy with a dash of salt to balance out the flavors.

Ashley H.

This place is absolutely amazing. I had the duck plate with bread as an appetizer and shared the steak and chicken plate with my significant other. For dessert, I had the chocolate moose. Everything was gone in 3 seconds and was absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend this place.

Chose this restaurant based purely on yelp reviews and all I can say is thank you yelp reviewers! Showed up with no reservation, definitely a must if you decide to come, and had to eat outside. With jackets on and some blankets, I think we actually preferred to eat outside so we could observe the life around us... residents of building above restaurant chain smoking on their balcony, Uber eats driving by, people milling about the neighborhood. The food seemed to be traditional Portuguese food with a modern twist, I think. I'm no foodie but that was my interpretation. When I say that everything we ordered was delicious, I'm not exaggerating. Small menu and we ordered almost one of everything. The service was also on point. Very accommodating and patient. Definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Lisbon! read more

Grand slam. This place touched me in every good way. From the bread to the dessert to the service. There's a few different international name drops for this place. Adria Ferran Acosta used to run one of the best acclaimed restaurants in the world and the chef here used to work for him. This is really of no consequence other than maybe it made me curious to learn before I went there. After eating a meal from this place I have to say that I'm beyond impressed - I'm in a long lasting state of rapture. read more

Geez. This place blew my expectations out of the water. Unassuming restaurant you could very easily walk right by. In fact, you'll walk by a couple tourist traps with people standing at the doorway beckoning you to enter before you reach this absolute gem. Super cool atmosphere once you step inside and FANTASTIC food. Most notably, the tuna entree is one of the best dishes I've had anywhere ever. Absolutely worth going out of the way for. read more

This place was a great find in Lisbon. Took my daughters and niece for dinner based on reviews and all of us agreed it was our most enjoyable meal up to that point in Lisbon. We had a bit of everything on the menu and I ordered wine - everything was great. Service was good. The atmosphere is really nice, and it's not too loud, which is a big plus for me. They serve lunch as well and the next day we found ourselves back in the same neighborhood and ended up eating lunch here as well and were just as happy. If I'm back in Lisbon I will definitely have this restaurant at the top of my list. Not a gastronomic adventure or splurge place, just a solid, great-eating-and-drinking restaurant that makes you happy you came. Solid recommendation! read more

By far our favorite place in Lisbon! Coming from the lower part of the city, it was a bit of a climb walking up all those steps. The climb was worth coming to this small hidden gem on the street side corner. The service was good. The food was amazingly refreshing. It was such a burst of mixed flavors that worked together so well, we wish we could eat more of their dishes and desserts. You won't be disappointed if you have the time to come here. We ordered the lamb and couscous, the chicken pasta and chocolate mousse. read more

It's been quite a while since I've written a Yelp review. 'Oficina do Duque' simply cannot be ignored. Easily the best restaurant in Lisbon and, as a world traveler to 50+ countries, I will say it's now in my top five (5) restaurants. Really. Why?...you're thinking. Ambiance, charm, hushed tones with couples and friends sharing plates and happily disagreeing upon which starter was best, or how they preferred the Porto Tonico here with mint versus in Porto where served with grapes or in the Douro Valley with orange peel. An understated elegance in a casual yet urban style. As you can all read a menu as well as I can write about it, I will instead describe it holistically: fresh ingredients...herbs, fish, meats. A good selection of wines and generous pours. Desserts that are delicious and make you wish you had just a bit more room in your stomach, and coffee that brings the meal to an end while you and your table wish you had one more night in Lisbon. If we did, there'd be no doubt where I'd be eating. Incredible meal topped only by better service. read more

Such an unexpected and great late lunch here today! Arrived around 2:45 and got a table outside. Started with the eggplant starter, then the meagre with rice, then the oxtail. Everything was wonderful. I was sharing with a friend and they split both mains without us even asking over two plates! Glasses of wine were under €4 and paired wonderfully. And how can I forget dessert- chocolate mousse recommend to us by the waiter with the perfect amount of salt and olive oil. As I've gotten used to in Lisbon, the service wasn't terribly fast but kind and helpful, even giving an extra pour from the end of the wine bottle. Highly recommend!! read more

Nice warm place with kind of friendly staff. The place has an open kitchen, which could be nice but now the cooks were really loud. I had soms fish with rice, really taste. My boyfriend had pork, the plate was nicely dressed but the odd thing was:it was just meat, no veggies, no potatoes. So we had to order some French fries extra. I had a chestnut mousse afterwards. The mousse itself was tasty but there were just chunks of roasted chested nut in it which were to hard to chew, you could break your tooth on them. Overall the setting was nice and the food was mostly tasty, the price was correct as was the service. read more

This restaurant like many in Lisbon is tucked away in the cobblestone stairways around the city and is just so much fun to sit outside and enjoy your meal and Lisbon ambience. We tried their mini Cuttlefish and beef burgers as appetizers , they were pretty good - the beef one was okay , not bad just ordinary BUT the cuttlefish burger was the better of the two , with a squid ink bun and really nice tasting fish inside with a light sauce it was very tasty. We also tried the Bitoque beef with egg and fries which was nicely cooked and well seasoned. My favourite however was theCod fish with potato stew ! Soooo much flavour packed into this perfectly cooked and seasoned cod and potatoes I loved every bite ! Great quality of food and very affordable pricing and in a really cute location. Service was friendly and attentive ,they spoke a few different languages and were very good with making sure we were taken care of. Great for a casual dinner in Lisbon when you want to sit out and enjoy a great meal and a beautiful Lisbon night ! read more

Don't be fooled by appearances. What seems to be just another tourist charming terrace in the Bairro Alto's hidden streets is a well thought and serious-about-food jewel that both tourists and local habitués seem to enjoy very well. The oxtail burger was the hook to both come back (on the very same week) and to explore the rest of the small but complete menu. A perfect Bairro Alto experience that is simply delicious, and also a pleasant one thanks to the nice and warm staff. read more

Specialties

The kitchen of Oficina do Duque is Portuguese inspired with touches of the world, conscious and respectful of the traditional and originally Portuguese ingredients, resurrector of forgotten tastes, restless and experimentalist. Food as ordinary, soulful and traditional as oxtail, roots, offals and turnip greens found a place in the heart of the extraordinary Chiado. The well-known portuguese cream milk is now perfumed with rosemary. A simple "bitoque" (steak with chips) has a sauce that takes 16 hours to make. Bread is made every morning to be fresh every night. The ordinary is extraordinary. It is the awareness of this essential dichotomy that has always marked Rui's attitude, which today is the signature of the "Oficina" brand and inspires his career. In his own words, "I live to take the banality off of simplicity."

History

Established in 2012.

From the Oficina do Duque restaurant, which opened its doors in November 2012, much has changed to become the space where Rui Rebelo is true to himself and of which he is the single owner. Recently he completely changed the space, transforming it literally into a workshop dedicated to the cookery craft in a work that counted on ancestral techniques of Portuguese craftsmen as well as the originality of national creatives. Right now, the Chef it rethinking the menu, introducing new dishes and crafts into the whole eating experience.

Meet the Business Owner: Rui R.

Rui Rebelo, has worked in the gastronomic industry since he was 17. Born and raised in the heart of Lisbon, he soon extended the geography of his knowledge to Brazil, London and Barcelona. First, at Caxias do Sul University. Later, in a street food truck in London - to unravel the formalism of the Brazilian school - and, finally, at CETT, University of Barcelona, where he took the Executive and Creative Gastronomy Chef Masters, studied Innovative Techniques and Technologies in cookery and Molecular Cuisine. Today he visits Barcelona on a regular basis to share meals and conversations with the mentors who allowed him to walk in the stars.

Inside was classically decorated with many square tables that could be rearranged for groups of 1-2 or larger. We did not need a reservation but it was a Tuesday night at 8pm. Service was friendly but could felt similar to the service you get in many tourist restaurants and the idea of American tipping seems to be taking root. Food portions were hearty and seemed to be a more formal take on Portuguese comfort food (I imagine). The Cod Duque was under seasoned with the Octopus done well and the sweet potato puree was just....there.

Very interesting with a staircase coming through the front of the room, we called it our Harry Potter restaurant under the stairs.

Over all the dishes were beautifully-presented with excellent flavors. However, I found the fish stew to be too salty for me. At the same token, my cod and octopus dish was also a bit too sodium-heavy and octopus could be more tender. Maybe people like saltier food here but it just throws off the flavor balance for me. I would give them 5 stars for the service but cuisine-wise, it's still good but not quite hitting all the spots.

The choco frito had a light batter on top and you could tell it was really fresh because it was so light and bouncy. The bolinhos de bacalhau were also a highlight; creamy potato filling with codfish mixed in. The asparagus and jamon with scrambled eggs provided a nice balance to our meal. I'm always a sucker for well made scrambled eggs. My favorite dish by far was the arroz de pato. It was packed with smoked duck flavor, and accented with charred sausage and bacon on top. The dishes were on the smaller end, so we ended up getting 5-6 dishes for three people.

Cozy, almost romantic atmosphere. And just €16 per person for all you can eat! The menu changes nightly so here were the stars for me: Creamed cod. Might not sound appetizing but this was insanely good. Not too fishy. Veggie lasagna - really great flavors and you sneak in some vegetables. All the sides: mashed potatoes were delicious, the rice is a staple, the couscous was perfect, the carrot soup made me say DAMN! The service was amazing. The two gentleman there ran an entire packed restaurant effortlessly. Helping customers with drinks, explaining the concept and each dish to every person that came in. We washed it down with a pitcher of white sangria (drinks and desserts are extra). We literally couldn't move. We walked back to the hotel instead of taking an Uber simply to walk some of it off. One of the most memorable meals I had in Lisbon.
