Lovely meal for two from Al la cart menu, the fish Stew was beautiful with rice sauce and plenty of fish types in the main ingredients, Good friendly service, only gripe would be drinks prices.

Dinner at the Matiz was outstanding! We were welcomed upon arriving and shown to a lovely table by the window. We followed our server’s suggestion and probably had the best fish we have had! It was sea bass baked in a black salt crust. Had he not suggested it, we would have missed out on a unique dish. The wine suggested was also excellent, All in all, it was a fine way to end our Portugal holiday. I cannot say enough about the outstanding service!

Really nice setting both formal and informal. Nice bar if you fancy a pre drink in the lobby of yhe Hotel. Food was excellent value and really tasty fois gras grape was ridiculously gorgeous. 4 of us had 3 course's and only 1 dish was a little bland(cod). Overall excellent worth a Michelin recommendation at least.

Reasonable food. Nothing varied. Too bad the menus are always repeated every weekend.

My steak was overcooked. The waiter was not did not seem happy to serve us- he was not pleasant at all. He didn’t ask us if we wanted any sides- I then asked him after we put our order in if it was too later to order a side. I told him I only wanted the side if it would be able to come with the meal. He said he would check. He never got back to me and the side came when I was taking my last bite of my meal. The waiter went out of his way to point out to us on our bill that the tip was not included.

Overall, a wonderful dinner but possibly an off night when we went. The main waiter apologized for the rush of customers around 8pm that led to some unevenness in service to our table. Dishes we enjoyed included the fried sea bass and cataplana as main dishes and the tuna tartar and the ravioli in a bisque as appetizers. Unfortunately, the vegetarian bras was a miss - bland and it should be dropped from the menu or re-imagined. Dessert at our neighbor’s table looked wonderful (a chocolate dish, some small tartes, and large saucers of coffee) but we passed ourselves. Overall, I would recommend the restaurant.

I literally proposed in this restaurant. I’m Portuguese. I deliberately chose this place, and it made everything smooth and easy. Service was just amazing, only topped by the food itself. Will be returning for sure more often than not.

We had a great birthday dinner for my sister with impeccable service and remarkable cuisine but the lamb rack was a little too fatty. The elegant ambiance creates a warm setting, while the fresh and innovative dishes impress. Not cheap but it's worth it for a special occasion. They were also kind to offer us complimentary champagne for the dinner. Overall, a memorable dining destination. I highly recommend
