5.1.14 Frangasqueira Nacional
Travessa Monte do Carmo 19
Location HERE.
Open 1800 to 2200 hours on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
Tiny barbecue restaurant just below Rua da Escola Politécnica, with just eight seats inside, plus two more at an outside table, weather permitting. Some of those visiting who are staying in the area opt for takeaways.
The grill has ribs, chicken and sausages on the go more or less all the time. Side dishes, including rice and veg., are available, as well as nibbles like olives. All is kept together by the owner, who is also the cook, and she treats customers almost like family. I got a small portion of olives included in my order, at no extra charge. An attempt to give a tip was politely declined!
The chicken, ribs and sausage were marvellous. Spicy dressing is included, at the strength you specify (it’s good). Service is excellent.
Why some visitors give poor reviews, and they occasionally do, is beyond me. Turn up at 1800 sharp, or be prepared to wait. Very good value, and they don’t mark up the bottled beer like some restaurants do (a Sagres Mini was just €1.35). A real gem, and a real find.
Tram 24, Buses 758 and 773 up on Rua da Escola Politécnica.
