On the menu, chef Rui de Paula prioritizes seasonal ingredients, in creative dishes with influences from his Portuguese roots. In addition to à la carte dishes, there are also three tasting menu options, which can be 6, 12 or 21 courses, as well as paired or not. I opted for the tasting menu and was very pleasantly surprised, with tasty and delicately presented dishes! Like, for example, tuna tartar with oyster, crayfish and sea bass. The restaurant also has an excellent wine list.
Therefore, if you are looking for a place to eat well in Porto, set aside a few hours of your day to enjoy this unique experience!
