"Set in a historic building but featuring a renovated contemporary interior, this welcoming restaurant stands out as a splendid option for a meal in the city centre, being just a few metres from the 19th-century Mercado Ferreira Borges. Award-winning chef Rui Paula has revamped this establishment’s concept in a more gastronomic direction, focusing solely on dinner service with a tasting menu called Não há futuro sem memória (“There’s No Future Without Memory”) (available in 6, 10 or 14 courses). The first starters can be served at the bar at the entrance, and subsequently, in the intimate dining room, you can savour contemporary dishes with traditional roots, not without a few Asian touches introduced by the resident chef. A standout dish? Their Squid / Carbonara, considered a house classic (a reinterpretation of a delicious tagliatelle carbonara made solely with squid)." - Michelin Inspector
