Went to Duque for dinner on May 5 2025. My wife likes the ceviche. Octopus is good but not as good as the one we had in Madrid. The Tiger Shrimp is ok, nothing special. Pork cheek came out delicious. Small restaurant - space is very tight. I would rate it above average. It just does not have the WOW factor read more

At a recent visit I ordered the pork cheeks with rice and was ill within two hours and days later. The pork did not look or taste fresh.It is likely that it was not stored or reheated properly. With that said the staff was courteous and attentive. read more

We ate here our 2nd night in Lisbon and were so glad we did. The ambiance (small but well positioned), the service and food were all exceptional. I would recommend the Sangria, Mussles Duque (with bread), the Duck and the Mushroom Risotto. read more

Such a cool spot to climb to--literally! The cozy ambience is bustling and lively. My server was great and the seafood rice was delicious!

Make a reservation in advance. They have several locations on the same street and that might make it hard to locate whichever location you are mapped to, but they seem to share the same ownership and staff b/c if you do not have a reservation, they will try to set you up and whatever location has the shortest wait or best availability for your party size. This was pretty well organized/coordinated for what seems like a logistical nightmare, plus none of us speak Portugese, but the English speaking staff were able to assist and were very pleasant in doing so. All of the dishes that we tried were excellent. Some may say these places are a bit touristy, but we all enjoyed all of the various seafood dishes that we tried. There were not any items that missed and we must have had 7-8 different items, so you should be safe with anything you order. For the price, I thought Duque was a great value and you get a high quality meal and good portions based on the price you pay. The restaurant was visually stimulating with lots of cool little details inside, including the bathroom door, the ceiling beams, and the front door. Another thing to note, which I didn't see much of anywhere else, was there were women servers and minority servers. I did not notice that as much in other places, so kudos to that. read more

Food was excellent, clams, prawns, even bread service was excellent too!! Enjoy the drinks and they have a good bar. read more

Great meal, great service, friendly, good prices. My wife and I both tried the goat cheese cigar and the sea rice and they were excellent. Also had the sangria which was also very tasty. Desserts in the jars were yummy too. Inside is small but cozy. I would definitely recommend getting a reservation if possible, we did, it was very busy and everyone had a reservation. If we ever make it back to Lisbon this will be our first stop. read more

Incredible is an understatement! Good food and service absolutely impeccable! Fried prawns were delicious. Ask for Sudeep he was superb!!! read more

A small restaurant that is away from the tourist spots. It has excellent service and very good food. Definitely worth going to.

We were recommended to come here by a local. It's a cozy restaurant tucked away in a cool part of Lisbon. The fish for two was perfectly cooked with generous portions of codfish, salmon and bream. The atmosphere is classic with a modern witty twist. Service was excellent. Attractive place with good food. read more

The food was amazing. I ate there 2 nights in a row. Highly recommend octopus salad and broiled octopus with sweet potato purée and leek straws. The staff was wonderful as well. Prices were great for the quality and variety. read more

Not really a local joint - it's a touristed area - but the traditional food and ambience were special. 3 small rooms along the same narrow street, charming and romantic. Loved the 60's and 70's soundtrack in the background: Stones, Joplin, Redding... Reservation recommended. read more

Moellas were excellent according to my husband. (Gizzards). Quaint place, good food, pleasant servers.

Food was pretty good especially the tiger prawns with squid ink pasta and caldo verde soup (definitely a must try). Bread was delicious as well. Even though it was packed the restaurant was quick to get people in for dinner - of course having more than one location on the same street is good. The service and wait staff were decent. Kudos to the employee who was seating everyone - he was very friendly and accommodating. read more

We were sat in a corner for two, we ordered the fries, filet mignon steak and lamb pork chops. Our waiter was delightful, he made sure our food was satisfying and he kept the drinks flowing! The place is small and cozy, nice for a quiet and intimate dinner. read more

There are three Duque's on this block, and they are all the same restaurant. Just go to anyone that has space, but they'll check the others ones for you probably. I came around 8:45pm without a reservation. Although the first restaurant was full, they checked the others, and I was immediately seated at the 2nd one. Service is good; attentive but not pushy. Ambience is cozy with just the right amount of noise. I ordered a bottle of water, a glass of white wine, and the sea rice (which i was told was popular along with the Tiger Prawns). There was a very generous amount of seafood in the sea rice. I loved that they kept the bread of the shrimp on because that's where the flavor is, but that they peeled the shrimp. Great attention to detail. The rice itself was soft, flavorful, a little tangy. Very delicious. I wish I came with a group and could try more dishes! If I were here tomorrow, I'd come again. read more

Restaurante Duque - English menu - Portuguese Near Me - Lisbon, 11

A quiet spot along the side road with lots of locals and friendly staff and service.. this is what Lisbon is all about. The house wines are 5 euros. Where else can you get an entire grilled fish for 14 euros, you even get to choose between sea bass, sea bream, and salmon. That is such a good deal. Nothing pretentious here, just a breeze through the entrance and the smell of fresh seafood. There is limited seating but they do a good job of getting you a spot The food was delicious. Everything was simple and right what I wanted to enjoy the flavors of portugal. Would come back again for sure. Thought to myself... are you kidding this is AMAZING. Was not too salty which is the case for most places for my palate from north america. Would come back again for sure! read more

Restaurante Duque - Grilled sea bream! - Portuguese Near Me - Lisbon, 11

We went there for lunch and had the grilled sea bream & the fish for two (salmon, sea bass, sardines). Everything was delicious! Just be aware it's a lot of bones, but worth it. It came with veggies & potatoes. We ordered a side of rice, a filling meal! read more

American tourist here. Underrated place. This is a hole in the wall and staff was very nice. The meal here may not be the "best you've ever had" in Lisbon, but I do not regret coming. Order the seafood rice (not paella); it's one of their more high-rated dishes. If you don't have a reservation, come during an off-peak hour (3-6pm). I didn't wait at all. Based on other reviews, expect to wait/reserve if you come during lunch/dinner hours. I would return! read more

The food is really good, service is spot on, and the ambiance is fantastic. Small location with two other locations down the street. I had the squid and my girlfirend the pork cheek. Both were fantastic. We also had a small pot of lemon cheese cake for dessert. Highly recommend. read more

Restaurante Duque - Entrance - Portuguese Near Me - Lisbon, 11

Food was excellent and reasonably priced, the seafood rice was gorgeous! The service was great, lots of staff checking in

Be sure to get a reservation! We fortunately managed to take a table as soon as the restaurant opened at 7 pm, but several parties were turned away later in the night. Duque serves traditional Portuguese cuisine in a limited menu, which showed in the high quality of each of those dishes. The mixed seafood was composed of grilled salmon, tuna, and bass, and the grilled octopus and seafood rice were both fantastic, albeit a bit smaller compared to other restaurants. read more

Tucked in a small street of bustling Lisbon. This is the place to experience some Portuguese food. Long queues outside the door gave us the hint of the place. Interior is intimate, tight space with good vibes - what you expect in typical European local Resturant. Service is very attentive and friendly - eager to give recommendations. And of course the food is top notch - one of the best we have had in the 12 days in Portugal. We ordered cerviche, cod croquettes, Iberico pork cheek, grilled sea bass and grilled sea bream. All were really delicious but the standouts were the cerviche and the grill fish (both sea bass and sea bream were fresh and seasoned and grilled perfectly). I highly recommend it and we will definitely return for more. read more

What a find! All I was looking for was an unassuming, authentic small Portuguese restaurant where you can actually taste the love in the food. What else can I say than just, I am happy. Delicious food, with character, great cozy ambiance, good friendly service with a smile. read more

Restaurante Duque - Bacalhau confie - Portuguese Near Me - Lisbon, 11

This place was recommended by a friend who has tried it. We made the reservation online (you need to google the place as there is no slot for reservations on Yelp). When we go to the restaurant, we walked and were greeted by someone who led us to a different location in the same alley. It turned out to that it has 3 restaurants but with dining options. The foods were great, we had the oven baked octopus, pork cheeks rice, sea rice (seafood with rice) and confit duck leg. The service was acceptable (I guess it's not customary for waiters to come to check on you here). The place was relatively quiet although with many patrons. Overall we were very satisfied with the foods. read more

Restaurante Duque - Oven baked octopus, sea rice, confit duck leg - Portuguese Near Me - Lisbon, 11

I don't know where to start with this meal in Lisbon. We were greeted warmly in this cozy restraint in Lisbon. It had a great local vibe with sardine cans hangin on the wall, and let me just say that we were in for a treat! We asked for a wine recommendation from the small and fr ankle inexpensive wine list. The waiter made a great recommendation that made you pause and ask, could we get through 2 bottle? The here came the appetizers, succulent fat prawns in a delectable garlic sauce. White fish ceviche in a combination I would never have imagined, corn nuts and carrots. Wow I will be doing this a flavor and texture explosion. And a really solid feta cigar that from a we are dreamily caressing a lovely glass of wine in need of an accompaniment perspective was nothing but perfect. The entry's did not back down from the expectations that were built. My personal favorite was the octopus, well prepared, tensor and succulent. The mushroom and parmesan risotto was a flavor explosion in your mouth. While I'm not one to order a steak in Portugal I watched my 11 year old devour a solidly flavorful steak, and our oldest left not spec in the duck leg. If you are in Lisbon make a stop at Duque's and you will not be disappointed. The only question for us is will the next meal live up to this one? read more

Great restaurant with fast and attentive service. I tried their caldo verde soup and the seafood rice. The soup was quite subtle in flavor but very nice to have after a long day of hiking. The seafood rice, as its name implies, was packed full with different kinds of fresh seafood. The flavors balanced nicely and I'd definitely come back here some day to have it again. read more

This little gem is mighty! Paõlo sat us quickly and was attentive. The olives, bread and oil was our starter. I had the sea rice and my husband had the grilled bream, both were delicious. Despite the cozy quarters, everyone is there for the food and accommodates the limited space. They have 3 locations on the same street, don't be discouraged by the line. Be sure to talk to them about seating options. read more

Excellent in every way. The food is mouth watering and the service is nothing short of perfection. read more

Nice vibe. Get reservations. They are spread out to two locations, so you may be seated between one of the two. We had a nice bottle of wine. We had the codfish, which was a little on the tough side. We also had the giant prawns. These were overdone and found it very difficult to get out of their shell to then point not having much to eat. Taste was on par, just a bit more attention to execution. Staff was all very helpful, friendly and attentive. read more

We dined here after seeing a large group of people waiting outside the night before. We had no reservation so ended up waiting about 15 minutes l. They have three locations on the same street so the line moves quickly. Overall Duque had the one of the freshest Grilled Doradas and grilled octopus. Flavors were on point and the vegetables that came with the entree were well seasoned and cooked perfectly. My only complaint would be the portion size, I only had one small tentacle in my plate while looking at other diners I saw at least two. Would stop by again if we return to Lisbon. read more

Hands down fantastic. We got in without a reservation (deservedly popular) and everything we ordered was incredible. Acoustics were excellent, so was easy to chat. Don't miss this. read more

Interesting menu and excellent food. Service was very friendly and also has a nice casual atmosphere.

You'll work up an appetite climbing multiple stairs and hills to get there, but it's worth it. Lovely atmosphere, nice service and the food, very traditional Portugese dishes, was all delicious, Highly recommended! read more

It is a joy to experience a meal where the menu options are all created in seemingly effortlessly ways, and served as though it's happened thousands of times before. Maybe I dine out too much, but you can just tell when a meal is simple, honest, and yet full of care. Such was the case at Resturant Duque. It's a small place, and the staff worked as one fluid team - like they have done it perfectly for so long, there is no other way. In other words, Aa wonderful dining experience. Our meals were a sampling across the menu. Goal was to choose traditional fare served in traditional ways. Fish Soup and ceviche as starters with an assortment of goodies for the table (breads, olives, oils, etc), Main was their grilled whole fish "catch of the day" and a seafood rice entree. A good bit of food, but we left wanting more. We live in the States proximate to a large Portuguese community. The culinary influence is all around us. It's pretty entertaining listening to the locals argue about who's dishes are better, more authentic, whatever. But after the beautiful, simple perfection experienced at Resturant Duque, I think all my local faves have a higher bar to meet. Recommended. read more

The food and service here was great. The waiter was very attentive and helpful. I had the grilled bream which I really enjoyed. My wife had the sea bass which she liked. They even filleted it for her when she explained that she didn't want a fish with the head and tail on her plate. lol. Nice bottle of wine and a lovely couple at the table next to us to talk with and we had a great evening out. read more

Great experience. Service was friendly and food was delicious. Even have vinho verde on tap. Lovely stop for lunch.
