This place is so worth the drive. Completely different from the beach bars in Albuferia. Truly excellent cuisine from start to finish. In a class by itself. Probably our best meal in all of Portugal.

The service was faultless, professional and highly knowledgeable servers. It was a set menu for Christmas which our party of 4 all found somewhat lacking unfortunately. Some good, some not so good courses. Perhaps the regular menu would be worth going back for but definitely not this particular menu. The ambience was lovely but the place was in need of a freshening up.

The entire Christmas menu was probably prepared by someone else as if the Michelin star cook is on holiday… nothing taste proper, either it’s over cooked, too salty, or too much vinegar… very disappointed.

This is a really cute old farm house, and the staff was extremely friendly. The wine selection was great too. We were however disappointed with the food. The starters were great (albeit really small), but our mains (fillet steak) were not good. My steak was cold whereas my family's (other 3 orders) were chewy. For that price point I expected much better. They did apologise and took one steak out of the bill, but still disappointing.

Service and location were absolutely outstanding! very nice setting and the people working here were extremely nice and professional! The food was very good, we did the tasting manu and out of 5 dishes 4 were excellent but one, the paccheri with rocket, plums and honey was just very very sweet and couldn't really taste the ingredient but just the honey, way too sweet for our taste. But the other dishes were extremely good especially the picanha! :)

Terrible service
O Leão de Porches • Owner
Apos alguma indecisão o pedido foi feito às 21 05 horas. O prato principal depois de comer uma entrada cada um, saiu às 22h10 horas. Vocês pagar a conta às 22 20 horas. Nós achamos que 1h15 min para tirar uma pedido, servir e comer um entrada, comer o prato principal é pagar numa restaurante fine Dining em agosto não está tão lento.. M hè esmo o senhor perguntou um cocktail ‘americano’ que nós não temos na lista e fizemos sem hesitação.
