kate kSeptember 9, 2015Our waiter was kind enough to bring us the "exploding olives" without ordering the whole cod dish.
Maureen ClarkeJuly 21, 2017The most tender octopus I've ever tried #food #lifestyle #thankful #cantinhodoavillez
Dani van ZuijlenJune 6, 2016Had tuna as main course and chocolate cake for dessert. Both tasted very good! The service though was a bit too fast if I'm honest, the staff was a bit too much in a hurry. Bit chaotic.
- Alex CavoulacosJuly 18, 2017Get a reservation, this spot is happening! Also, the hazelnut dessert really is that good.
Tino UhlemannSeptember 13, 2019The food was really good! For the wine list it needs a little more choice in a restaurant of this category. Unfortunately the service was not on the level of the kitchen.
JCJune 24, 2018Good food but not that impressive. Lovely servers but very slow with refilling our wine glasses. Have to order the fried green beans
If you're in for lunch during a work day beware as it takes a bit of time (around 2 hours).
Pamela StrohscheinSeptember 7, 2022Average food and service. Don’t know, why they are mentioned by Michelin - no reason for that. The whole place smells , so as you, when you’re leaving : deep fried
HJ KJune 11, 2019This place shows that just because a restaurant is on the Michelin Guide, it doesn’t mean it’ll be exceptional. It’s not bad, but there is nothing exciting about the food nor the service.
EduardAugust 24, 2019a terrible experience. Slow service at the kitchen and everything came cold to the table. When I told them, they wanted to give us free desserts , but the waitress became something really rude.
Nadine CorrodiDecember 31, 2017Fish soup was small and served cold, as well the eggs. risotto was ok, nothing special. our bill was at 100 euros for two people, over all I think is over priced, we left disappointed.

"Great choice of local, international and fusion dishes. Try the sausage quail egg starter or the crab ravioli... The porc neck and mushroom risotto are a delight. Don't forget to watch the wine list"
Kris Verdeyen - 7.6
"Lovely spacious interior design and friendly staff. The menu changes every week, they have homebrewed beer and the food is fresh and amazing. Recommended!"
Yasmin V - 7.8
"Awesome! Of course is not as cheap as going to a taberna but you get what you pay for. Lamb leg, deer with foie and desserts were terrific. We enjoyed it a lot. Great for a cosy dinner."

"One if the most beautiful in the world - bridge, view, city! Fascinating day and night, with all these colours and river shine."

"Lovely bar facing the Douro. Excellent for a drink or even a small lunch or snack. Sunset is the best time of day."
Layla Littlesister- 7.8
"Art Nouveau amateurs will be amazed. For a quick look, a slice of cheesecake it is the perfect place. Totally crowed by tourists it definitely has lost some of the original charm. Huge Gin Tonic."
