    Great service and great food. Traditional delicious dishes with a touch of modernity and class. Great experience to repeat. Great wines collection that I couldn’t enjoy because I was driving.

    Great restaurant, fantastic service, great recommendations! Created a desert specially for my dietary requirements on the night (without asking them to) which was fabulous! Including wine pairing! Really enjoyed the evening! Their description of great quality and experience whilst being comfortable so true!

    This restaurant is a short distance from our home. The food was excellent, the atmosphere very welcoming and the service was superb! Very enjoyable. Highly recommend. One particular dish was my favorite, although they were all very good.. It was the sardines, with grapes and cilantro oil, ....delicious.

    Returning to this restaurant for the second time, our expectations were once again exceeded. After over ten years of honest exploration in Portugal, I can confidently say that this restaurant stands out as one of the best I’ve ever experienced. The service was impeccable – helpful, friendly, and authentic. Our request was honored, and we were seated with a view into the kitchen, which added an exciting dimension to our dining experience. The food was flawless, with the daily fish being particularly delicious, along with all the appetizers we sampled. The wine recommendation was spot-on, perfectly aligning with my tastes as described to the waiter, who demonstrated not only expertise in food but also in wine – a definite plus. The ambiance was charming, with the entire team, aside from the kitchen, exuding warmth. The restaurant’s decor was beautifully curated, adding to the overall experience. I’m already looking forward to my next visit. This restaurant is my top recommendation.

    Everything was great, but the table we had in the little alcove had very intense, cold and bright hospital-like lighting, which worsened the ambience.

    This restaurant is a jewel. I was so happy I made a last minute reservation. Everything from the minute you walk in the door is 5 stars. The staff is attentive and helpful, the food absolutely some of the best we've had and a wonderful wine list. We will definitely return.

    Everything went well, from the service to the food, the wine, dessert even the place itself. However we got a table which was very very very close to the next guests and no privacy or sense of it could happen since we felt like we were eating almost side by side. Well, is it small the restaurant's place? No, but we got unlucky enough to get this place. They really should consider spaces between tables. Besides that incidente, which I had the chance to expose to the staff, everything else went very well. Recommended.

    5.5/10

    I had high expectations when I chose this restaurant based on online reviews to celebrate a professional achievement with a friend, but the whole experience turned out to be disappointing. Starting by charging for the Couvert (bread, butter, and pâté) per person, which doesn't make sense to me. The starters, prawns, and tuna ceviche were good, but the ceviche was served as 2 tacos on unchewable mini tortillas. The vegetable soup was average. The main dishes, Braised octopus tentacle and Low temperature oxtail, were hit and miss. The octopus was dry and flavorless with tough skin. The almond cake for dessert had too much powdered sugar but was served with nice cinnamon ice cream. The coffee (from a commercial brand) was more expensive than a specialty coffee roaster espresso, and instead the glass of water, I got a 2.5€ bottle of water. Overall, everything we ordered felt overpriced for the quality.

    It was a very nice effort. Good dishes, clever combinations of ingredients, good presentation. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with emphasis on the wine. Some things thst the chef and the management team should reconsider are the following: 1. Should the Degustasion menu be analyzed and be written down? I prefer this way instead of what I was told that the chef is preparing every day according to the customer a five course menu. 2. Is it a good idea to have the bread and butter on the table before the clients arrive? Certainly not especially in a fine dining restaurant. 3. Unfortunately the grilled beef meat - the last dish of the Degustasion menu - was full of difficult to chew vessels and fibers. The quality of this part of the beef shouldn't be used in a Degustasion menu. A Degustasion menu is the menu that REPRESENTS the quality of the chef and the restaurant.

    9.5/10

    It is strange that this is unique and very good restaurant is not more fully booked already. Excellent food, a very nice staff, very good value for low prices. The almost hidden location next to a mall is probably why so few people know about it yet, but I expect that to change shortly, since the excellence food will speak for itself.
