Frangasqueira Nacional - Lisbon

The food is delicious, and the owner who works here works alone tremendously hard. You can tell she cares about the business as she runs around from client to grill trying to keep everything afloat. Trying to find the menu online is a challenge and trying to understand the hours is also a challenge as they are closed on days which normal businesses/holidays are not. The owner doesn't except tips and is pleasant however haphazardly she may seem.

Not easy to be able to dine in without prior reservation but worth the experience in this tiny yet super delicious restaurant. It only has one staff, the lady. She is very fast and does her best to be able to serve all the soonest possible. Be ready to queue. Our experience was we were the second customer of the night and by 7:30pm it was basically sold out! Just one hour from the opening time. Really delicious and tasty food that most people are willing to wait

What a nice little place with the nicest owner/chef/boss lady. You have to be a little patient for your turn and the food to be ready depending on what time you get there but it is worth the wait. Perfectly grilled meats with an amazing choice of side salads. Going to become our regular thing :

Enjoyed the chicken and ribs back in October 2015......wow wow the best! Will try to recreate the chicken on my BBQ untill the next time we visit Lisboa!(recipe tips from the Chef are welcome .

Absolutely delicious! We had the chicken, which was super moist, grilled over charcoal then basted with garlic and chilli oils. For sides we had fresh potato chips, garlicky basmati rice, a nice tomato salad with oregano, and mixed olives. What a feed! So happy we chose Frangasqueira Nacional for our piri piri chicken meal in Lisbon! Great neighbourhood, too!
