The Trindade is a classic 19th-century cervejaria, with colorful tiles, vaulted ceilings, and frenetic service. You can pop in for a beer and a snack or eat a full meal. Hearty dishes such as açorda and steaks form the mainstay; if you opt for the grilled seafood, the tab will jump dramatically. The terrace is an enjoyable spot for dining in summer.

We had a nice meal of shrimp, clams, barnacles and beers on the lovely patio lit by the sunset and twinkling lights. But those in the bar had a smoky, darker view, and those in the main dining room had a much brighter, louder experience. I think we had it best in terms of atmosphere. The food was all a bit saltier than anything else we ate in Portugal, and the server acknowledged that it was to get us to drink more beer! He gave us complimentary dessert and an extra beer once he realized we were in on the game.
