Restaurante Dote Odivelas

Restaurant

🫤 Food was “ok”. Not great, but ok. Not the best francesinha in Portugal, it was bland. The service was terrible. The guy who welcomed us was not hospitable at all. Staff inside wasn’t friendly. Didn’t manage to say anything about their menu. Food service was fast though, didn’t wait too long. No one... People often mention good, francesinha, Francesinha, service, francesinhas, restaurant, para, muito, great, staff,

    Food was “ok”. Not great, but ok. Not the best francesinha in Portugal, it was bland. The service was terrible. The guy who welcomed us was not hospitable at all. Staff inside wasn’t friendly. Didn’t manage to say anything about their menu. Food service was fast though, didn’t wait too long. No one even checked if we’re having a good time or if the food is okay. And then when we finally asked for the bill, we weren’t given a bill. Instead, the staff just came back to us with his cc machine telling us the amount that we’re supposed to pay, like he’s in a hurry to kick us out of the restaurant. I mean, how do I know if you’re telling the truth can we at least check? Also didn’t bother how the experience was. Not coming back. Not recommending this place in Odivelas.

    Almost 1hour wait for the main dish after ordering. No satisfaction in the meantime. After an argument with a customer that waited more than 1hour for the main dish and said "5 more minutes and I'll leave" At least he got a free desert. At the end I got a "sorry for the delay " with no explanation. They could, for example, offer appetiser while we wait. Better to go to the old Marco on the other side of the street or some neighborhood if you're short on time

    (Translated by Google) A space known for francesinhas, which are great but the best dish is the alheira burger. (Original) Espaço conhecido pelas francesinhas que são ótimas mas o melhor prato é o hamburguer de alheira.

    (Translated by Google) The meal was held on the terrace and if you went back for sure you wouldn't eat at that restaurant. Bad service, it seemed that nobody wanted to know if we were there or not, we even had to get up to go and ask for things inside. Apart from the food that was even good, nothing else prevailed. (Original) A refeição foi realizada na esplanada e se voltasse atrás de certeza que não comeria naquele restaurante. Péssimo atendimento, parecia que ninguém queria saber se estávamos ou não ali, inclusive tivemos que nos levantar para ir pedir coisas lá dentro. Fora a comida que até estava boa, mais nada prevaleceu.

(Original) Já tinha visitado este restaurante uma vez e tinha gostado imenso; desta vez a Francesinha de Vitela de Vitela nao tinha mesmo nada ,carne rija e seca . Local agradável funcionários simpaticos.

  • 1/5 João Nuno O. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Disappointing! After a recommendation from friends I went to try it, it was super salty and the sauce was made from knorr broth. Pure amateurism in relation to the francesinhas in the Belgian Taberna. Nothing like the Frenchies from the North! (Original) Decepcionante! Após indicação de amigos fui experimentar, e era super salgada e o molho era feito de caldo knorr. Amadorismo puro em relação às francesinhas da Taberna Belga. Nada como as francesinhas do Norte!

    (Translated by Google) This grilled salmon was delicious. The plate may seem small but I was more than full. Everything on the menu looks super good. The traco was adequate, although a little slow but otherwise everything was fine. It is around € 12 pp (Original) Este salmon a la brasa estaba riquisimo. Puede parecer pequeño el plato pero me quede mas que llena. Todo lo de la carta tiene super buena pinta. El traco fue adecuado, aun que un poco lento pero por lo demas todo bien.

    The food was great ...really! Sadly though the service was slow, we needed to call the staff's attention more than once and the restaurant didn't have enough lime to make more than 2 caipiroskas. If it wasn't for the yummy francesinha, I would have rated this 2 stars.

  • 4/5 Merritt M. 2 years ago on Google
    Really tasty food, but staff was a little overly friendly.

  • 4/5 João M. 2 years ago on Google
    Always delicious francesinhas. The only thing that didn't worked was the entries we asked because they didn't arrived before the main dish... But since the francesinhas didn't took long to arrive it was ok.

  • 3/5 Susan M. 10 months ago on Google
    Good food, weird service. They served us a beautiful piece of grouper in a tomato broth rice. But with no serving spoon to put it on our plates, and no forks to eat it with. It took about 4 minutes to get forks and napkins, and another few minutes after that to get a serving spoon. We asked for bread to share, and 3 requests and 25 minutes later, we got one single piece of bread (a roll). The grouper and rice were very good, and that one piece of bread we shared was very fresh. The waiters seemed like they were trying but things didn’t happen in a logical or timely way.

    (Translated by Google) It was the first time I visited this restaurant and I was very impressed, I had made a reservation, we arrived a few minutes early and the table was ready, from the order the food arrived at our table, it was fast, I was very pleased to see the care they are having due to Covid, tables with recommended distance, between the sofas, put acrylics to avoid contacts between customers, everything very clean and the minimum number of people taking into account the new reality, the food was 5 *, I loved the use of potato skins served as a starter, a concern for waste, I really liked it and recommend it. (Original) Foi a primeira vez que visitei este restaurante e fiquei bem impressionada, tinha feito reserva, chegamos uns minutos mais cedo e a mesa já estava pronta, desde o pedido à chegada da comida à nossa mesa, foi rápido, fiquei muito satisfeita em ver os cuidados que estão a ter devido à Covid, mesas com distanciamento recomendado, entre os sofás, colocaram acrílicos para evitar contatos entre clientes, tudo muito limpo e número de pessoas mínimas tendo em conta a nova realidade, a comida estava 5*, adorei o aproveitamento das cascas da batata servida como entrada, uma preocupação com o desperdício, gostei bastante e recomendo.

  • 5/5 Fatima P. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It has 2 food outlets, one across from the other across the street. We went to the smallest and ordered the special francesinha, a shrimp risotto with zucchini, and some hamburgers for the little ones, and everything was delicious. My husband was delighted with the francesinha. We will definitely be back. In this Covid situation, it is best to call ahead and reserve a table, otherwise you can wait a long time until your turn to enter. (Original) Tiene 2 locales de comida, uno frente al otro cruzando la calle. Nosotros fuimos al más pequeño y pedimos la francesinha especial, un risotto de camarones con calabacín, y unas hamburguesas para los peques, y todo estaba delicioso. Mi marido quedo encantado on la francesinha. Sin duda volveremos. En esta situación de Covid, lo mejor es llamar antes y reservar una mesa, sino puedes quedarte un buen rato esperando hasta que tengas el turno de entrar.

    (Translated by Google) I made an appointment through the website on the 16th of August, 5 people for dinner on the 17th and I was waiting for the same to be confirmed, a situation that did not happen. Today the 17th of August in the morning until noon I was trying to contact the restaurant, only at 12:45 was that the reservation was confirmed to me but with a lot of difficulty in the call. I had difficulty hearing the employee in question due to poor call reception. (Original) Fiz marcação através do site dia 16 de Agosto, 5 pessoas para jantar dia 17 e fiquei à espera que me confirmasse a mesma, situação que não aconteceu. Hoje dia 17 Agosto pela manhã até ao meio dia estive a tentar contactar o restaurante, só pelas 12:45 é que me foi confirmado a reserva mas com mta dificuldade na chamada. Tive dificuldade em ouvir a funcionária em questão devido à má recepção da chamada.

    (Translated by Google) It is usually my favorite restaurant when I'm in Lisbon on vacation. Unfortunately yesterday, even with a reserved table, I didn't have a good experience! I ordered a francesinha vegetaria (as I always do) and they brought me a hamburger. Not only did my company have to eat while I waited for the dish, I didn't even hear an 'sorry'. They made me feel like I was the one who made a mistake, when I always order the same dish. (Original) Costuma ser o meu restaurante de eleição quando estou em Lisboa de férias. Infelizmente ontem, mesmo com mesa reservada, não tive uma boa experiência! Pedi uma francesinha vegetaria (como sempre o faço) e trouxeram-me um hamburger. Não só a minha companhia teve de comer enquanto eu esperava pelo prato, como nem ouvi um 'desculpe'. Fizeram-me sentir como se eu é que tivesse me enganado, quando eu peço sempre o mesmo prato.
