My family and I arrived in Lisbon for a quick visit, and on our last night, we reserved a table at Trivial after reading many of the positive reviews. We were instantly greeted by a friendly staff member (Ana and over the course of our meal, got the pleasure of meeting the chef owners (Chef Jose and Christina . From accommodations to our food allergies, to recommendations and wine pairings, the friendly service and impossibly delicious food, everything about our visit was more than we could’ve imagined from a place we happened to stumble across upon our Google search. I would recommend Trivial to anyone I knew who was visiting Lisbon and seriously how you get to experience the flavours of this authentic Portuguese restaurant! We had: -the olives, bread and goat cheese on the table (seriously, the best olives I’ve ever had and I’m Italian , the octopus dish, the chicken dish, the 4 pepper steak and the sea bass-paired with either white or red wine depending-both of which made for the perfect combinations. For dessert, we had the chocolate mouse, lemon gelato with vodka and crème brûlée, alongside port wine. Would absolutely recommend any of these dishes. Enjoy and best wishes Christina, Jose and Ana! Claro! Aqui está a tradução para português de Portugal do seu texto: ⸻ Se visitar Lisboa e não for ao Trivial, estará a cometer um grande erro. A minha família e eu chegámos a Lisboa para uma visita rápida e, na nossa última noite, reservámos uma mesa no Trivial depois de lermos muitas críticas positivas. Fomos imediatamente recebidos por uma funcionária muito simpática (a Ana e, durante a refeição, tivemos o prazer de conhecer o chef e os proprietários (o Chef José e a Cristina . Desde os cuidados com as nossas alergias alimentares, até às recomendações e harmonizações de vinho, passando pelo serviço caloroso e a comida impossivelmente deliciosa, tudo na nossa visita superou as expectativas para um restaurante que encontrámos por acaso numa pesquisa no Google. Recomendaria o Trivial a qualquer pessoa que conhecesse e que viesse a Lisboa — é mesmo imperdível para quem quer saborear os sabores autênticos da cozinha portuguesa. Comemos: – Azeitonas, pão e queijo de cabra na mesa (a sério, as melhores azeitonas que já comi — e sou italiana! , o prato de polvo, o prato de frango, o bife com quatro pimentas e o robalo — todos acompanhados por vinho branco ou tinto, conforme o prato, em combinações perfeitas. Para sobremesa, pedimos a mousse de chocolate, o gelado de limão com vodka e o crème brûlée, acompanhados por vinho do Porto. Recomendaria absolutamente qualquer um destes pratos. Aproveitem, e um grande abraço para a Cristina, o José e a Ana!

Our reservation was not taken, despite several confirmations on our part. Rude and dishonest owner. There are so many high-quality restaurants with impeccable service in the area that we recommend avoiding this barricaded establishment and exploring the neighborhood instead!

They set up our table with a couvert (yes, I know they charge for it) but I haven't seen a restaurant do something like this with such care. I had the risotto which was creamy and delicious. My husband had the duck which he quiet enjoyed. The staff were charming and accommodating. I hope to go back someday.

It's like having dinner at your Portuguese grandma's house. Super friendly service and really tasty food! Highly recommended. read more It's like having dinner at your Portuguese grandma's house. Super friendly service and really tasty food! Highly recommended.

The food is consistently good. I absolutely love the chicken with plums, and the steak Trivial. The house wine is excellent and extremely reasonable. They also have delicious appetizers and unique tasty desserts. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you want delicious traditional Portuguese food in a very nice, quiet, relaxed, setting with excellent service. They are also a great supporter of the LGBTQ community.
