Have eaten here 2 times during our short stay in Porto. The fixed price lunch was excellent quality food for the price of €22 for 3 courses, with nice wine sold by the glass as well. Returned later in our stay for an evening meal, again choosing a fixed price menu, "The Juggler", . This time the service was truly first class, from the bar lady , waitress and the chefs in the kitchen who prepared the meal in view of diners. They were all very charming and pleasant and made everyone feel welcome and special. The waitress explained each course very knowledgeablely and enthusiastically, bringing each course to life. The food was of the highest quality, Michelin starred level of presentation ,combination of flavours and quality. Highly recommended if you feel like splashing out.

We really liked the open kitchen concept, although the decoration of the space was a little below expectations, particularly for those who enter through the bar, on the Almada street side.The dishes are well done, particularly the prawns and the loin. The dessert on the juggling menu surpasses that on the trapeze menu and the wine list is reasonable. We expected a little more, given the reviews we read.

Circus themed restaurant, really well decorated. We booked a dinner for 4, and found the staff really friendly! The menu is quite complex, and offers the possibility of tasting. Everything we tasted was really good! Prices obviously in line with the service and the menu. Advised!

We are a family of five, and we all had the executive lunch, which includes a choice between two soups for the starter (mushroom soup was delicious). For the main dish the choice was between fish (a cod, not very tasty), meat (quite bland) and vegetarian (tagliatelle that was quite good). The dessert was good. The menu also includes a very good coffee with some goodies. Quite good value for 22 euros. Although the dishes were well presented, the taste was quite average. This is open kitchen and we had the pleasure to see the cook prepare our meal, which was quite nice. The design of the restaurant is a strong plus, design is as beautiful as you see on the photos. Be mindful that there are two entrances for this restaurant, at two opposites streets: One through the hotel lobby on one side of a street, and another at the opposite side of another street.) We had a bad experience when arriving when the waiter refused to open the door to us, although we had a booking and had to wait 10 minutes under the rain until he realized his mistake and finally unlocked the restaurant’s door. Not a great way to start a meal.

I have to admit it was a peculiar dinner. I went on the recommendation of friends and I hope I was unlucky. Everything suggests that it will be a haute cuisine experience, with a tasting menu, exquisite decor and high prices. What I saw was a Chef alone in the kitchen, serving alone, reasonable food and somewhat careless plating. Like I said, I hope I was unlucky the day I went.
