    We came for dinner and asked several entrees (stuffed mushrooms and duck tataki) and the cod; everything was amazing!!! Couldn’t stop eating! Very nice service and beautiful place.

    If you like adventurous eating you MUST try this place! They have a whole menu for weird food. Donut with wasabi and salmon, Iberian pork stew with churros, beef tartar with papdam, just to name a few

    Great food. Great service. Great restaurant. Try the carpaccio and ask the staff to explain you what this starter is! The mushrooms risotto is also great.

    Came here for the second time after a year and it remains one of the best options in Porto! If you are looking for portuguese cuisine with a little twist, try the codfish, it’s delicious!

    I wanted to love this but I thought the food was just good, not amazing. Service was amazing though! But overall not a must in my book

    Very disappointing. They try to do a lot of gimmicky stuff that doesn’t taste amazing anyway. The food is drowning in garnish and sauces. My medium rare grilled salmon came out well done. Not worth it

    Absolutely amazing. Best tip I can give is to order as many dishes as possible and share everything!

    O espaço é acolhedor, o staff muito simpático e disponível e a comida é INCRÍVEL. O risoto de cogumelos, o carpaccio, os cogumelos recheados, e mesmo o tiramisu foram memoráveis. A repetir e repetir.

    Espaço acolhedor, atendimento simpático, comida fantástica. As melhoras batatas bravas que já comi, as bolas de berlim com salmão e wasabi são incríveis, e o risotto de cogumelos imperdível.

    O serviço: muito eficiente, profissional com atendimento muito simpático. A comida muito bem confeccionada sem ser muito elaborado. Gostei bastante. Voltarei para repetir e experimentar outros pratos

    "Europeu moderno" define bem o estilo. Elegante. Comida original e deliciosa. Adorei o risotto "vivo"! Atendimento personalizado. A voltar!

    Nos gustó muchísimo, pedimos 4 entrantes y con eso comimos 2. La decoración es exquisita y el trato muy acorde también.

    Quando se pede várias entradas, pode-se dividir o prato principal sem problemas! Os pratos principais são grandes! Ponto negativo: serviço bastante cordial, mas ainda um pouco desorganizado.
