Oooooof...roll me out of this place! The service was phenomenal and the views were fab!…read more I've been to sushi restaurants, I've been to Portuguese restaurants but this was something special. Every experience was delightful. My husband, who doesn't like seafood was INTO it. If I come back to Portugal anytime soon this will be on the to do list.

Located in the outskirts of Sintra in the Penha Longa Resort is Midori, one of two Michelin starred restaurants that grace this property. Midori is reason enough to board a plane and cross the Atlantic. The chef, Pedro Almeida, has created a Japanese and Portuguese themed restaurant that was awarded a Michelin Star in November of 2018. The concept celebrates two great seafaring cultures and the influences of both on their gastronomic heritage. Mixing and combining ingredients, Chef Almeida shall blow your mind. The restaurant has only 6 tables all facing a rock zen garden. At night the mists of Sintra waif over the garden and hit the window. You are instantly transported to a misty Japanese forest. The setting and food are ethereal. Now the food. You have three menus too chose from we chose the Kiri Menu which has 8 servings. First is the Hassin kuzu tofu of cauliflower, shiitake mushroom and I am not making this up: fried shrimp head. Don't be squeamish. It is delicious. I will skip some of the servings as part of the experience is the sever describing what you are eating and which order to eat it. The sushi (shiitake mushroom, grilled mackerel nigiri fermented in garlic that leapt into your mouth) was the best I have had; it was food porn. My favorite piece was either the squid nigiri with lime or the smoked tuna nigiri. All of this is topped off with the pre dessert fake Yusuf mousse rock prepared by the dessert chef. The dish evokes the mists of Sintra served in a nitrogen infused Japanese bowl. A nod to the mixing of the two cultures. Service: par excellence, it is the lodestar of a culinary experience. Mariana, our server was amazing. My only regret was that I didn't try the wine pairing suggested by the Sommelier. He suggested a wine from the Azores; not knowing about these wines I passed. I should have taken a leap of faith. Reservations: a must. With only 6 tables highly recommended.

Salmon handroll was overstuffed! Got a bunch of nigiri and was all good quality. My wife had…read moreveggie ramen which was surprisingly tasty. Service was friendly and efficient.

Entering this place it looks very well appointed giving the impression of high quality. First clue…read moresomething was off, how can a sushi place have only one saki offering, yet display a variety of choices all over which was dismissed as decor? Whatever right?, it's really the food quality thats most important. We started with mixed tempura usually prepared in lightly tapioca batter. This selection was battered in a coating you'd find on cheap fish sticks, and served with spicy mayonnaise, not the traditional Tentsuyu... ok maybe not a big deal. Followed this with sashimi carpaccio and the midori roll. Carpaccio fish was not bad, but the serving was tiny and the dish lacked another essential thin sliced hot chili pepper. The midori roll provided an experience I would rather not repeat. The first piece had me thinking it was made with eel which can be gamey sometimes. On my second try I almost hurled; a first for me for any food. Whatever fish that was wrapped within was definitely off. My adventurous Asian wife tasted it and gave me a definitive NOPE. Needless to say that dish was not finished. Rounding out the meal my wife ordered salmon hand rolls. They looked like an amateur had made them, sloppy and unappealing. The salmon was not braised and was extremely fatty, it also lacked the teriyaki sauce a signature of this hand roll. She had ordered two and only finished one. Not trying to be overly mean spirited here, but I want to warn fellow sushi enthusiasts. When the wasabi is tasteless and the soy looking like malt vinegar (watered down) buyer be ware.
