5.1.10 Cervejaria Trindade
Rua Nova da Trindade 20C
Location HERE
The moderately upmarket Lisbon version of a beer hall. Grand setting, grand decor, tiled murals, and the waiters fussing over you. So it’s not cheap, but one of those places you might want to experience as part of the tourist trail.
Staff have a preparation area out front, with the weighing scales taking pride of place, though I didn’t see them being used in anger (they are for weighing fresh fish and seafood, which is charged per Kilo).
Lots of punters sit outside, but this sort of misses the point, even on a warm evening - it’s all about the interior, the setting.
The food offering is good, and the beer offering, from Cervejas Trindade, is also good, although the Profana IPA is only available in bottle. This is the same beer you can get further down the street, on tap, at O Purista.
What was not appreciated, and what many occasional visitors may also dislike, is the adding of a suggested extra amount to the bill (perversely, this is 6%, and less than many would leave as a tip). I insisted on putting just the net amount on my debit card (not popular with the waiter), but then left a rather larger amount than that suggested, in actual money (more popular).
