I had diner there yesterday, The place seems to have a new name 'Volver', but it is definitely Chakall's restaurant. We profited from the recent foodweek to come over and try the restaurant. On a Saturday night, inspite of the 'crisis' in Portugal, no restaurant would take our booking for 2 hours later... The point here is them being slightly... More

I went there almost by accident (close to my workplace) and until last visit I didn't even know who the famous chef was - or that he was the owner. I was simply looking for an elegant quiet place with good food and not very expensive. I enjoyed it very much. Good restaurant for business lunches and dinners as well.... More

The one thing that stood out was the quality of the simple appetisers. When something so apparently simple is done well it says a lot to me: good ingredients, treated well and presented attractively. And that pretty much summed up the meal.

Me and my wife went to Quinta dos Frades during Lisbon Restaurant Week, so we didn't have plenty of dishes to chose from, since the menu was limited. The food was very good with many different tastes nicely mixed together. The decoration is good and there's sufficient room for you not to eat with your elbows touching the client next... More

we went there twice and both times we had a poor experience. Nice place normal service but the food was quite bad, we think that was done for several days and then microwave. Both times the famous chef was not there so the ladies were a little upset

On one of my recent visits to Portugal, Me and my husband went for a lovely dinner at this fantastic restaurant which had been recommended by a friend. The service was attentive but discret and the food excellent! We ate some lovely portuguese delicacies as entrees, followed by beautifully cooked fresh fish. The choice of wines was great too. I...
