The concept of the restaurant is quite interesting and different. The amount of food in all the dishes is quite small, of course it is a gourmet food restaurant, in other words: it is designed to eat all the “4 acts” or 4 dishes and be fine, the idea is not to be full!!
Regarding the quality of the dishes and their flavor: nothing to write home about, they are all really good.⭐️
Just something to point out and easy to improve; In the “fifth act”, the desserts could be better described because the menu only mentions the ingredients, or flavors, that your dessert will have, it does not mention the texture. In other words, you don’t know if you’re asking for ice cream, a cake, something creamy, something dry and crunchy, etc…
It's not a cheap restaurant, that's clear, but for something different and special, it's good.
Kid-friendliness: They admit children and babies but the care for them is not the best. It is noticeable that they “get in the way”. They could improve on this.

Inato is, food-wise, a pretty good new spot in Braga but, to me, the staff/service is what let them down.
I got in from the street for lunch with no reservation and could be seated, which was nice, but the restaurant was also empty at the time as they had only just opened and it was before typical lunch time for the Portuguese.
My experience of the staff was that they seemed to (try to be) too posh for my liking in their attitude and interactions. This especially goes for the head waiter/maitre d’.
Just because I came in shorts and a t-shirt with a backpack on, it seems as if I wasn’t as worthy of their time and efforts as other guests, even though I was the only one in the restaurant for the first 30-40 minutes. The head waiter was more concerned with prancing around looking important and tending to minuscule things than to cater to me.
I simply didn’t feel like I was given the same care and attention, as I am used to in this level of restaurants, and when other guests arrived, the difference in service was clear.
And mind you, I have eaten at quite a lot of Michelin star restaurants and even two 3* (Noma and Geranium), alongside a bunch of other Michelin recommended or other fine dining restaurants.
Food is my drug and this trip was, unfortunately, a downer.
Anyhow, they got the Bib Gourmand recommendation pretty early on and in terms of the food, I think it was well-deserved. Decent quantity, though there could have been a little more, and some really nice and clean flavours with nothing being overpowering or too dull.
The wines were good as well and more than decently priced, as it goes in Portugal.
Overall, nice little restaurant with good food from some great chefs, but the waiting staff and the experience they gave me was the big let-down and what makes it so I won’t come back.

Extremely bad service. Was turned away at the door in an almost empty restaurant for lunch. One has to look for the likes of a loud-mouthed servant for a long time.

We booked a reservation for Inato that was confirmed by email twice. When we arrived at the restaurant (our family of 3) we were told they could not seat us as the reservation was for 2 people - even though we had the confirmation for 3 people. We have never been treated so rudely - the manager did nothing to try and fix his mistake. I have never been treated so badly in a restaurant - this manager clearly does not understand the hospitality industry. Horrendous experience in a city that we know and love and have been coming to for 15 years - never had an experience like this in Braga

Very tasty meal. Good service and friendly staff. I had the main course with steak and risotto, very tasty but perhaps a bit small portion. Chocolate and hazelnut dessert was magical.

Very welcoming atmosphere, differentiated service. The food was fantastic, very well prepared. We enjoyed the experience. The only negative point was the intense smell of food that was present throughout the room.

Didn't meet expectations. Low quality food for the price, with little flavor. The service was also quite poor. There's a lot to improve.
