Excellent place for lunch...we are lighter eaters and we shared the lunch special. Just delicious, service was great and price was very reasonable. We have eaten there 3 times and the quality is very consistent. Highly recommend this place

Great place to for the first time in Lisbon. A small variety of dishes and drinks, but everything I've ordered was just amazing. Beer was very nice and we were lucky to eat here while they had live music. Ordered something within low budget, but could not eat everything(because of the size). The place seemed to be popular for foreigners. Also the staff was friendly, very cheerful and warm.

Overall: (9/10). Great food with great service. 1) Octopus with garlic sauce, potatoes, chopped garlic, cilantro, green olives, and green spinach(?) - around a 3 octopus tentacles that were crunchy on the outside but smooth on the inside. Good and wasn't too chewy (as if it was from the freezer) but it didn't melt in the mouth. The potatoes were cooked well. Garlic sauce wasn't too overpowering and complimented well with the seafood and grilled potatoes. Presentation was well done. (Rating: 8/10). 2) Veal Steak - medium grilled steak with a large platter of rissota, two cherry tomatoes, and a side of green spinach(?). Rissota is the best I've ever had - had a kick of garlic with a blend of cheese and slices of small mushrooms. None of the flavors were overpowering each other. The steak was well seasoned and slightly tender. Overall, great dish and would buy again. (Rating: 9/10). 3) Duck Croquettes - Appetizer - around 6 pieces. Wasn't oily at all. Tasted great! Would order again. (Rating: 9/10). 4) Cheese Balls - Appetizer - around 6 pieces. Fresh from the oven and cheese pull in every bite. Wasn't oily at all. It tasted great at first but it started to get a little bland after awhile. (Rating: 8/10). 5) Clams - Appetizer - small 15 clams covered in garlic oil. It was a bit chewy and salty. Overall, it was okay. (Rating: 5/10). 6) Garlic Butter - Before the meal started, there was a bowl of soft bread with a small dish of garlic butter (that looked like blue cheese) and a small dish of olive purree. The garlic butter was SO addicting. 👌 (Rating: 9/10).

This place was great. I am used to Brazilian Steakhouses in the US where it is all meat and no flavor. O Fatica was a good mix of meat, vegetables, beans, rice, and spices showing the diversity of Brazil. And they had a live musician playing jazz guitar. A wonderful evening.

This small restaurant is a superb place to eat . The owner is amazingly kind ! There is a menu at 8.5€ that contains a soup, the main dish, beverage (including beers !), and either a dessert or a coffee. No need to tell the quality/price ratio is unbeatable ! The food is copious and delicious ! Easy 5/5 !
