I am not mentioning quality of the food it is exceptional as in many other places in Portugal. What I wanted to note - the attitude of the owners, they made me feel like I am back home in my childhood having lunch. If to consider me not speaking Portugal at all and the owners not speaking English, but bringing this feeling... I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to take short trip back to the childhoods.

This was another spot I visited while I was in Portugal that was *not* on my list - a truly…read morewonderful seafood restaurant around the corner was, that I got to before noon because I wasn't sure when they opened (turned out: 12:45 that day), so I was wandering around with an hour to kill and found this place. They have flights, including one that's 15 euros where you let them know what you're looking for and they pick out the 3 bottles, which is very neat. I told them I was in Porto mainly to try Port wines, and didn't have much familiarity with other, non-fortified Portuguese wines, and would love an intro flight, but no roses. Got a mini-lesson in the wine regions of Portugal, along with a wonderful green wine, a great Duoro valley red, and a truly fantastic red from Alentejo, a wine region I had not previously heard of, but immediately went on my radar the rest of the trip. (They also sell bottles; I bought a bottle.) Note, they said they only guarantee they'll do flights (as opposed to full-priced full glass pours) after 4 pm, but if they aren't busy for the food lunch rush, they'll do them earlier in the day (on a rainy Thursday in January they were more than happy to.) Actually liked the place so much, I came back the next afternoon and had another glass of a different Alentejo red - they only had one open for tasting in the price range that fit the "intro"-priced wine flight, so I spent... I believe 11 euros on a glass of a fancier bottle they recommended. It was also quite good, though I think I actually preferred the first one. Also had one glass of a very reasonably priced tawny Port while I was there - they had several, but obviously, I was already well into my plan to taste Port directly from all of the nearby tasting rooms across the bridge, so I just picked one here. (Unsurprisingly, it was also quite good.) They do also sell food, but I can't comment on it. Great place for quick wine tasting, though.

Overall, a great experience. Originally found this via my Lonely Planet guidebook (yes, the…read morepaperback book, lol; old school, I know.) The space is upscale and has good air conditioning. I find the American country music playlist pretty amusing. The service is polite and the server spoke English well enough to explain where this wine came from, pairings for thiss and that wine, etc. I was only there for wine tastings, and maybe a snack to pair with. Good stuff overall. I love the menu! It's very explanatory; you could spent 30 minutes reading and absorbing some of the info about Portuguese wines, so definitely keep it after you order to browse and read. Pro tip: They have spit buckets. Ask for one and use it. Can taste more wines with less intoxication. Only miss was that they served me the aged white ports, which are chilled, a few minutes before the desert things that I was pairing them with. This let them warm up a bit before I could pair them with food, especially since I asked for small pours. Bathrooms: Spacious, bougie, clean, and functional.

We had a huge 45 day dry aged steak for three, perfectly cooked medium rare. For sides we had spinach, veggies, and this unusual mix of mushrooms, eggs and potatoes that sounds odd but the flavors just worked together and was delicious. Paired with the perfect red wine at the recommendation of our server. We finished our meal with two desserts, their specialty the Bola de Berlim, and a cheesecake. If you are a meat lover, this is your heaven, coupled with the ambiance for an amazing experience!

The service was also very good. They were nice and friendly. I had looked at the menu online before booking and I mentioned that I was disappointed that they did not have black pork on the menu. Our server explained that it was on the menu at their other restaurant. We wanted white wine and they gave us two wines to sample. We both liked the same wine and asked for a bottle. We were surprised that they poured us each a glass and then took the bottle away. We asked to have the wine topped us a couple of times during our meal. The last time we asked to have the wine topped up they took away our glasses and brought us clean glasses. At the end of the meal when we were brought the bill we noticed that they had charged us for 6 glasses of wine instead of the bottle that we had requested. They apologized and corrected the bill. We definitely had not consumed 6 glasses of wine the price for this was substantially more than a bottle of wine was. We shared an appetizer of 3 cheese fondue. It was different from most fondues that we have had. The cheese was served inside a hollowed out loaf of bread and there were slices of bread to dip the cheese into. Afterwards you eat the hollowed out loaf of bread. It was all really good. For entrees I had the pork ribs. They were served with mushrooms, red onion vinaigrette and a sweet and sour sauce. The serving was substantial and it was a wonderful combination of flavours. My husband had the roasted veal with chestnuts. It was also very good. We finished our meal with apple pie and ice cream. Elebe is pricey by Portuguese standards. However the food, service and ambiance are all very good so we felt it was good value for the money.
