“ Awesome chef and kindness. Loved the fusion of flavors! Chef is so nice and accommodating, you must eat here and loved the decor of the place. Humble, tasty, great price, and gem! Can’t wait to come back as soon as possible! Loved the tacos, the beef, the calms and desert! Delicious wine too! ”
“ Genuinely one of my favorite restaurants in the world. I went there straight from the airport, when I had a day in Lisbon. The atmosphere is really nice, and I love the interior design. Somehow it's both hip and homely at the same time. The music, which can vary between different kinds of genres, is always a banger, and the staff is very kind. The food changes every week, and is always something different. The dishes are not what you typically find in a restaurant, especially for this price. While the portions are on the smaller side, I am genuinely baffled that you can get a main dish this tasty and "fancy" for 8-12€. I'd only wish they would differentiate more clearly between the vegetarian and vegan options, and maybe incorporate some vegan desserts. Otherwise perfect. ”
“ Very cute little restaurant hidden in the streets of Lisbon. I ordered the katsu chicken sandwhich and the beef stew dish and both were literally amazing. I also tried their argilla wine which was good and reasonably priced. If you have the opportunity to stop by here for dinner I would highly recommend! ”
“ you can eat the world here, with their multi cultural dishes. there's this great vibe in the room and great soundtrack to go with it. everything is cooked and presented with care. the highlight goes to the tortilla soup. ”
“ The katsu chicken was perfectly cooked, crispy outside but tender and juicy inside. Soupy octopus rice was good, octopus slightly overcooked. The slow cooked beef was wonderful. The aranchini ball was good. The sweet potatoes were very good. The carnitas tacos were very good. The cocktails were a little small and weak thus somewhat overpriced. The port wine was overpriced. ”
“ I absolutely LOVE this place. We had to wait for 20 minutes before being able to sit, and we were told to wait in a corner where we would disturb every waiter so that was a bit annoying but the diner was fantastic, every meal was really tasty! Unfortunately there was not a lot of vegetarian options and 2/3 meals were not available on the night we came. However, it’s still a must go! P.S. the wine is really good and I love what they did to present their bottles! ”
“ Really nice outdoor seating surrounded by beautiful buildings. Was here for a light meal so I didn’t eat very much but I could tell the people sitting around me were not mad about their meals. Friendly staff helped us figure out what to get because we are being indecisive. Went during the day, but could see this being a nice dinner spot as well . ”
“ A true gem in Lisbon – creative food & cozy atmosphere I've visited Trinca several times, and it truly is a little gem in Lisbon. The menu isn’t huge, but it's well-curated with exciting dishes in both small and larger portions. I especially love ordering several of the smaller plates – it's a great way to explore more flavors. You can really tell that there's thought behind every combination of taste and presentation. The wines are carefully selected from smaller producers and absolutely delicious – a perfect match for the food. The atmosphere is warm, intimate, and full of charm. Highly recommended – be sure to book a table in advance! ”
