Wow! The empanadas here were amazing! I originally ordered at the nearby Thai take-away but it was gonna be 30min for my food (they’re busy which is a good thing. I’ll rate them later) So I went for a little walk and ran into Union right across from Quattro Teste/Resturante São Cristónão. Its reminiscent of a Parisian alley sprinkled w/ so many hidden gems 🤩 All the surrounding restaurants have great ratings but this spot allows you to people watch while looking cool. 😎 Apparently the actual restaurant just reopened on 1/22/22. It seems to be like a café style now. I ordered the mushroom and tomato empanadas 🤤 it was soooo good! Totally worth the steep hill u walk down and narrow roads. Lol! I’ll certainly be back.

What's not to like: sitting on stools at tables mounted on those posts that try to discourage cars from mounting the footpath? The delicious empanadas? The friendly staff? The prices? Well, the answer of course is "none of the above". I've already been back, and I expect to be back again.

If you’re not afraid of cars passing by very closely, you can really enjoy this place with some nice beer and empanadas. Still, the spicy veal could be spicier.

The empanadas are SO good. We ate here on our first day, and then went back again a couple days later for more! I recommend the spicy pork and the chicken empanadas. Their iced coffee is amazing, and they have milk alternatives(!!). We got their iced lattes both times, and they were fantastic. The staff is so nice and welcoming as well. 10/10 recommend.

🎖Over all experiences: 5 😎Vibe: 5 sitting 🪑 is not perfect but The location is super nice and super unique ☕️Coffee: yes they have :) 🥪Food: food is made to order on this spot so you have to wait 15 minutes but it’s worth it! 🎨Design: 5 we love old style with the turquoise colors and bold letters 🤵‍♂️Service: 5 🦮You should know: it takes about 15 minutes for your order to be ready They do except American Express which is a plus! 🛠Suggestions: air conditioning

Lovely place with delicious empanadas and drinks. Highly recommended!

Certainly a must go! Great food for a great price with an atmosphere to die for. The service was impeccable and it was made sure that our every desire was met despite the low price. It fits right into the beautiful neighborhood and creates a welcoming atmosphere! Wheelchair accessibility should be no problem and guests are offered a clean , fully functional restroom! I recommend the spicy veal!

Cute little restaurant in a very nice and quiet street. They even have a large open « window » so you can sit and watch the street directly. The food (empanadas) is very tasty, and the waiter was so friendly. They have a large choice for vegeterian and vegans, and for fair prices. I highly recommend to visit here!

Loved their empanadas - a highlight of our time in Lisbon. The whole street is very cute, full of nice bars and smaller restaurants, and sitting in their window eating empanadas was a great way to spend some time in the late afternoon. We ordered the spicy veal, the sweet potato, and the corn and cheese empanadas - they were all great. My fave was the corn. We also had a mint tea and fresh ginger juice, both were delicious and refreshing. Definitely recommend!!

I discovered this place just walking around the area and I’m really glad for it. INCREDIBLE homemade empanadas and fresh smoothies and juices. Really nice decoration with typical Lisbon tiles! High recommended. Stop for a drink and a snack if you are around there!

I wish I could be back there. Amazing empanadas, service, drinks! They are freshly made so expect to wait 15 minutes after ordering for them to arrive. They are perfectly crisp with delicious dough and the inside is perfectly warm and gooey. The drink options are fantastic as well with juices, smoothies, teas, and cocktails. It was the freshest mojito I’ve ever tasted with them ensuring the mint was dispersed across all the cocktail and not just in leaf chunks. Seriously cannot recommend this place enough. The staff are so friendly and helpful as well!

Portugal was my last stop on my Eurotrip where I did not have much luck finding cold brewed coffee, so when I saw it advertised on the window I rushed inside. I live in Chicago, where I can get pretty excellent cold brew and yet this was one of the best cold brews I have ever had, and my first ever shaken cold brew, which really added a lot to it. I liked it so much that as soon as I finished it, I went back and ordered another one. Everything on the menu looked good, the place is really cute with its Wes Anderson vibe and the service was amazing. Highly recommend!

Empanadas! In the area of Castelo de S. Jorge, great place to stop. I really liked the bifana too and as desert the famous Alfajor with dulce de leche. Delicious

Ganz zufällig sind wir auf dieses charmante Empanada Restaurant gestoßen. Innerhalb unseres Kurztrips haben wir hier dreimal die frisch zubereiteten Empanada gegessen. Geschmacklich sehr gut mit besten Zutaten und auch vom Ambiente sehr einladend. Definitiv ein Besuch wert.

Super friendly José and his colleague served up a huge dose of warmth and friendliness along with a side of handmade spicy veal and spicy pulled pork empanadas in a cheerful, stylishly rustic bar that also has a choice of refreshing sangrias, cocktails and cold drinks. Accents of pale aqua on the window sills and stools round off this chilled spot on R. São Cristóvão. Great spot for people watching.

Beautiful empanadas. Chipotle sauce is to die for. Wish I could bring it home to Ireland!

Start your morning, or anytime for a quick bite at this incredible adorable pastry shop featuring among other things — you guessed it — empanadas. They have several different kinds, spinach, cheese, beef, along with other delectable cookies and bites. And she makes a killer cappuccino. This is one of the shops in this small neighborhood that make the area a joy to hang out, talk to new friends, and just soak up the zeitgeist of Lisbon. Definitely worth your stop. I highly recommend this two block neighborhood. I started my morning coffee here, explored Lisbon, had lunch somewhere else, but returned here every night for drinks, dinner, and fado. This was the sweetest place to land in Lisbon. Check out my Google reviews of these neighborhood joints: Cantinho do Aziz, O Trigueirinho, Union Empanadas, Tasqinha Canto do Fado, O Velho Eurico, and Leitaria Moderna. There are other places including an Italian restaurant and a gelato shop. You cannot go wrong staying in this area. The people were friendly, inviting, with big smiles and bigger laughs. I will come back.

Ginger root lemonade and cookies were absolutely divine. The lady behind the bar was super friendly. Such a warm and welcoming place. Please open a bar in Dublin and bring those cookies with you.

Amazing empanadas! A must visit in Lisbon. The woman who works here is so friendly and helpful

Soo tasty! The vegan empanadas where also amazing

Nice place to chill. The waitress is so sweet. We ate well and had a good cocktail. We'll be back when visiting Lisboa. 🥃

Great fresh empanadas. We took the cheese mushroom and the chicken one. They were really juicy and the dough is great. We tried the lemongrass juice, it was a unique and tasteful experience

Fantastic empanadas! And what a great spot to just hang out for a bit. Honestly I think the bifana (pulled pork sandwich) was my favorite, but the empanadas were all fresh and delicious as well. Plus, unbeatable view of the Historic Giant Plant -- the gem of Lisbon.

What a nice little place. Amazing empanadas, tasty drinks. We were greeted by the chef himself, very friendly.

The food is absolutely amazing, really really tasty, not expensive at all and really qualitative. The personal is super friendly and professional and the overall atmosphere is so pleasant and authentic. Definitely check it out while in Lisbon. Try their sangria, it is the tastiest I had in Lisbon!

Great start to our trip to Lisbon! We had the pork sandwich (bifana) and empanadas (we chose mushroom and cheese) and they were delicious! We then took an iced mint tea and pastry home with us on the recommendation of others eating there.

One of best meal experience in Lisbon. Empanada freshly baked after your order, even drinks are solid good, no nonsense!! We ordered empanada: spicy veal, onions and cheese Ginger soft drink A dessert All super tasty

Friendly staff, empanadas are good and its a cozy place! Also very good prices. If you want to have a drink before dinner,this is the place!

Excellent sandwiches, empanadas And margaritas. I highly recommend adding the spot to your must visit list when visiting Portugal.

The pulled pork empanada and the sandwich were amazing! Most of all, they had an amazing list of cocktails if you’re looking for something unique in Lisbon!

Amazing place. The pattys are really good and the waiter is very helpful

Excellente place for à quick bite for dinner! The empanadas and the smoothies were really amazing and fresh! The staff was really nice and welcoming even during those weird times. Eating in and out is possible, and the sanitisation is perfect.

Deliciously tasty empanadas made with loving care by owners Joao & Elysia. This small casual establishment is tastefully decorated and quite welcoming. Varied choices of empanadas, veg, meat, chicken, cheese, therefore something for everyone. The ginger infused cocktails are excellent. If you’re a foodie (or not) UNION PORTUGAL is an absolute must during your visit to Lisboa.

Awesome stop for delicious empanadas! Super friendly owner Joao is a great host and the whole place just has lovely atmosphere! Highly recommend!

We had a stop here whilst on a street art tour with Igor from Street Buddha. What a find - best empanadas ever and quite a few different fillings. You must try the chimchurri sauce with them. The ginger juice was great and very refreshing. We even finished with a glass of ginjah. Highly recommend.

A very beautiful and sweet place with best empanadas and great ginger drink. It's really difficult to resist from taking a picture of the place and have a small chat with charismatic owner. Totally recommend. (don't forget to ask for a spicy sauce. It's very simple but amazingly tasty)

The food in this place was great. We recommend doing the menu from the website. The owner/chef handmade and invented all the tapas and drinks. He was telling us passionately about all the food, ingredients and backstories how he came up with the recipes. The drinks were great as well and plenty. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

Highly recommend! Awesome people, great food, good price ;-) my wife ordered 2 different baked dumplings, I - bifana. Both dishes was perfectly seasoned and I was full after that. We also ordered sangrias which was freshly prepared. The staff was very helpful with making order. So far, the best place to eat in Lisbon we were. We will definitely come back at the first opportunity! :-)

Union Portugal was among my favorite discoveries in Lisbon! Situated on a charming little street up on a hill it is more than worth the trek! The empanadas are hot and tasty and the ginger, lime, rum concoction was divine. Everything is made with care and an attention to detail! The decor is beautiful and inviting and makes you feel like you want to stay, hang out and watch the world go by. The real secret weapon of Union though, are the owners. They and charming, friendly and knowledgeable. If you are lucky enough to strike up a conversation with them you understand why this little spot up on the hill has such a great vibe. After your empanadas have a coffee and one of their delicious buttery, melt in your mouth cookies. Union Portugal is a must when you are in Lisbon! Enjoy!!!

Such nice food ans drinks! Love it

Best bifana in town hands down! - seriously if you come to Lisbon and want to try a bifana GO here the rest are nothing like here!

(Translated by Google) One of my favorite bar / restaurant in Lisbon. Excellent Bifanas and Empanadas, reasonable price and lovely managers. Go there, you will not regret! (Original) L'un de mes bar/restaurant favori à Lisbonne. Bifanas et Empanadas excellents, prix raisonnable et gérants adorables. Allez y, vous ne regretterez pas !

The street and the setting are very warm and very typical (Original) Meilleur Bifana de Lisbonne ! L'accueil est parfait, les gérants sont super aimable, je recommande très fortement.

Super place :) the bread with pulled pork for 3 Euro is so perfect and yummy :) beer 1.5 and smoothis are realy good as well :) You should come here if you want a real tasty snack and a nice and quiet location :)

(Translated by Google) Friendly and welcoming service, the tapas and bifanas are excellent! (Original) Service sympathique et accueillant, les tapas et les bifanas sont excellents !

I ordered a ginger lemon juice and a chicken empanada. Sooo delicious! The staff was super friendly and courteous. 100% recommended!

(Translated by Google) Overall pleasant experience. Tasty empanadas and well-prepared chimichurri. A special highlight for the ginger gingerbread (homemade ginger ale) that goes very well with the high temperatures of the Lisbon summer !!! Good location. Ups ↑ ambience and decoration Downs ↓ prices (by the size of the empanada) / oven time (I particularly prefer the more golden empanadas in the traditional Argentine style) #localguide #lisboalocalguide (Original) Experiência agradável no geral. Empanadas saborosas e chimichurri bem preparado. Um destaque especial para o refresco de gengibre (homemade ginger ale) que vai muito bem com as altas temperaturas do verão lisboeta !!! Boa localização.

Great place, the food and cocktails were amazing and the waitress was super nice and kind!

Fantastic empanadas, good drinks, and friendly staff

(Translated by Google) Very friendly and efficient waitress, on the other hand, the prices are poorly displayed and expensive on the bill, the cocktails seem alcohol-free or very little, and the empanadas are ordinary and I doubt they are home even if they are cooked on square. If they are, they are missed, we only feel the dough. Let’s not talk about Port, ordinary, transferred to a bottle without a label so that we do not see its provenance, at 6 euros for a shot glass. Tourist trap. (Original) Serveuse très aimable et efficace, en revanche, les prix sont mal affichés et cher à l’addition, les cocktails paraissent sans alcool ou très peu, et les empanadas sont quelconque et je doute qu’ils soient maison même s’ils sont cuits sur place. Si il le sont, ils sont ratés, on ne sent que la pâte. Ne parlons pas du Porto, quelconque, transféré dans une bouteille sans étiquette pour qu’on ne voit pas sa provenance, à 6 euros pour un verre à shot. Piège à touriste.

Delicious empanadas! Tried all flavors! Excellent pulled pork bifana. Throughly enjoyed my smoothie (she happily mixed strawberry and banana) Will be back when I visit Portugal again.

Delicious empanadas, very reasonable prices.

(Translated by Google) A good place, but very expensive, it would be better if the price list was visible. (Original) Um bom lugar porém muito caro, seria melhor que o preçário estivesse visível.

Great place for an empanada snack and a beer!

Very nice with delicious Empanadas ! I like very much the drink Storm ginger but its only for ginger lovers! Good to visit for a snack or drink !

(Translated by Google) A very amazing place! Small store, dim candle lights, very bluish atmosphere, walls with metal plates with distorting effect ... a very relaxed atmosphere. The empanadas are really good, you have about 6 choices if I'm not mistaken. They are a bit expensive (3 euros each) but the experience is worth it. The manager is also really super friendly and will not hesitate to chat with you. (Original) Un lieu très étonnant ! Petit magasin, faibles lumières à la bougie, ambiance très bleutée, murs avec des plaques de métal à effet déformant...une ambiance très détendue. Les empanadas sont vraiment bons, vous avez environ 6 choix si je ne me trompe pas. Ils sont un peu chers (3 euros chacun) mais l'expérience en vaut le coup. Le gérant est également vraiment super sympa et n'hésitera pas à discuter avec vous.
