The tasting menu is beautiful because it covers all the different taste and flavor combinations from the sea and from land. And it was really nice to have fresh fruit at the end of my meal to get a boost of antioxidants as I've been walking 20,000 steps and pushing myself every day while I've been here to enjoy the the cobblestone pathways. Every moment was lovely and I can't wait to come back. They said they start a new menu tomorrow... I'm sure it will be epic!! I'll be coming again with friends this week to try it out.

The full portion size for entrees is large, and easily feeds two. If you don't feel like getting a full entree though, some folks near us seemed to indulge in ordering lots of appetizers (snacks?) like charcuterie. Great location by the river and the church, good place to people watch, but the driving to get here is not easy! It was worth it though, as there are not many places to dine out. This place also serves the Portuguese specialty of "green" red wine (vinho verde) so this is a spot to try it if sparkling red wine piques your interest!

As the nights are starting to get cooler after the sunset (7:30), they had located many heating lamps and positioned cozy blankets on chairs just in case. It was quite pleasant. Food-wise you can order a tasting menu if several courses with optional wine pairings or do what we did and select from the ala-carte menu. We've learned with the big portion sizes here in Portugal to cut back a bit so we ordered two starters (burratta with tomatoes and the scarlet shrimp with rice). The burratta was a standout with creamy sweet cheese nestled in a tomato confit. The shrimp was interesting-it was almost like a mini lobster and the server removed the head at the table for me. We decided to share a main course-the veal tenderloin which was good but not nearly as tender as one might expect. In between there were little small bites from the chef and we ended with a luscious chocolate dessert. The white glove service was a swarm of activity instantly refilling glasses, clearing plates and changing silverware-it was a little much for me as our table was right at the crossroads of the activity. Wine list is huge as you'd expect with everything from wines by the glass for €10-17 to bottles in the hundreds and even thousands of euros. I saw one that was €6 thousand on the list. As is common in this kind of place, prices were steep and our dinner with 2 drinks, 2 glasses of wine, 2 starters, 1 main and 1 dessert was around €150. Bottom line a lovely place with great service and food and high

Honestly, I am going to keep the menu in my mind and re create the sandies & salads when possible. Cash, no longer is a lunch special offered in case you read some old reviews.

Definitely recommend making a reservation, I found it impressive that the hostess's reservation system was essentially a notebook and pen in this digital age. We did not see much of our waiter, since the restaurant was extremely busy and filled up with diners. Standouts: 1. Razor clams - I'll always get these if I see it on the menu. Cooked in this incredible garlic sauce. 2. Fish and seafood cataplana - delicious, tomato-forward seafood stew; I liked the version that we had the night before more which came with rice and was more filling. But this was basically a never-ending bowl of fish, clams, mussels, and shrimp. Add to that the fact that the restaurant like most in Porto did not have A/C and I emerged feeling like I had been sitting in a sauna. Skipped dessert; I had my eye on the Weeel! froyo truck parked outside. One more nit - the metal chairs are not comfortable at all for sitting a long time in.

The meal is prepared for two people and comes with a side of vegetables consisting of cabbage and carrots. There were five adults so ordered two Cachena Assada and the salad as well.
