Cervejaria Trindade: "Cervejaria Trindade - more than beer and seafood" Top 5 Page for this destination General info on eating in Lisbon Tip by a2lopes

Cervejaria Trindade, or simply Trindade, is a combination German beer hall, steak house and seafood restaurant. According to the registries it is the most ancient beerhouse in operation in Portugal but, apart from that, in my opinion it is the most beautiful beerhouse in Portugal,

The place is famous for its drink, food and location. Situated in the Bairro Alto, it is located at the place of the ancient Santíssima Trindade Convent, founded in 1294 by the Redenção dos Cativos (“prisoners’ redemption”) Friars (with a vocation to rescue the Moorish prisoners). The Convent was partially destroyed by the 1755 earthquake and bought in 1836 after the religious orders were extinguished. The Trindade Brewery factory was built in spot of the previous refectory and the space developed and got very famous since then, transforming into the most renowned beer house in town.

Nowadays Trindade it’s owned by the brewers of Sagres beer and has several rooms, including an Art Gallery and a pleasant outdoor terrace (summer), being classified in 1986 (on the celebration of the 150 years) as an important Cultural heritage of Lisbon.
The all Cervejaria is surrounded by walls tiled with Portuguese scenes and ornamental tiles. These are made of wonderful glazed tile-panels or azulejos, dated from 1863 and signed by Luís Ferreira. Also quite famous are the walls decorated with small stone mosaics inspired in the fantastic calçada Portuguesa (Portuguese pavement), signed by the renowned artist Maria Keil (with works in some of the subway stations in Lisbon).
More than the quality and originality of the food, Cervejaria Trindade is worth by its space.

Recently they open an extension of the original Trindade in Campo Pequeno (at the place of the bullring). The service is equally good; nevertheless, the charming of the place it is not same.

Cheers. Enjoy your meal and the ambience

Served by Baixa-Chiado metro station and city bus (58 and 100). The Campo Pequeno place is served by the metro station with the same name and several city buses.

Favorite Dish: I strongly recommend
-clams Trindade style (ameijoas à Trindade); prawns with garlic (gambas al ajillo), big dressed crab (sapateira recheada);
-shellfish cream soup (creme de marisco), shellfish rice (arroz de marisco), skewered sea bass (espetada de tamboril), skewered grilled giant prawn (espetada de camarão tigre);
