100 Maneiras

Ok.. well.. this was a night to remember. Great food, great service and what an atmosphere!!! If you want a nice easy dinner, chat up your date, or chitchat with your friends this is not the place for that. The “presence” of the chef even if he is not there is so strong, permeates everything from the decoration, ambience, music, style that in the end of the meal you know his story, like he has left his soul exposed, raw for you to see and taste. We just loved our dinner there. And hope to come again soon! Feel privileged to have experienced this evening !!

Very much an experience here. We had the Short Story and were stuffed. Favourite ls we’re the bread starter with accoutrements, eel and cauliflower, the salad and ice cream. Wine pairing is lovely, although perhaps felt that the portions were a little small at times. They also did an excellent non-alcoholic drinks pairing. Service outstanding, atmosphere amazing. We were not rushed at all and we spent a very enjoyable evening here.

We spent 2 weeks in Paris and Spain, with this dinner planned to be our big splurge. At €500 for dinner for 2 it is not something one does with regularity. While the experience was enjoyable, it was vastly overshadowed by a feeling of terrible regret due to the price relative to what is provided for that price, especially the wine pairing which was €100 each for approximately the equivalent of one large 9 oz glass of wine. In addition, the chef was overheard multiple times scolding his sous chef well within earshot. It made for an entertaining evening but overall only 3 stars. The high calibre of the serving staff was refreshing.

We were lost for words, simply outstanding! We had the 17 course taster menu with wine pairing. Firstly the service was amazing, every server and the sommelier were incredibly helpful and made our evening extra special. The food was so thought provoking and so wonderfully creative - the chef’s personality was definitely on the plate. We’d highly recommend this to anyone looking for a special occasion meal!

We had the full experience with the wine pairing. The story was great and nice to learn about the chefs background. Unlike other reviewers, we did not mind the meal worms surprise, never tried them before but would always try something new and interesting, and I don't think it's fair to give a bad review for one preference. The atmosphere was very nice and relaxed, I have enjoyed the mix of Balkan music, the meal took about 4h, staff was on point and even cracked some jokes. I would give 4 1/2 🌟 if I could. The reason for not giving a 5 is that towards the end, the sommelier got a bit slow, also the table wasn't cleaned in the last hours or so, I would expect consistency in the service provided from start to finish. All in all, a good experience.

The Positive Aspects: - The ingredients were of commendable quality. - The culinary skills in dish preparation were evident. - The staff displayed a welcoming and friendly attitude. The Negative Aspects: - The duration of the dining experience was excessively long at four hours. - The restaurant's deliberate lack of sophistication does not align with the expected elegance of a Michelin-starred establishment. - The dishes lacked the 'wow' factor; there was an absence of surprising and transformative flavours that one anticipates in high-end cuisine. - The choice of music detracted from the dining experience. Financial Perspective: - Had the price been within €50 to €75 per person and the restaurant not held a Michelin star, the experience might have been deemed acceptable. However, the offering fell short of the distinct and memorable experience typically associated with Michelin-starred venues, despite a similar price point. At €200 per person without alcohol, the value for money was not evident. Conclusion: - This restaurant, regrettably, stands as the least impressive among the Michelin-starred establishments I've visited, lacking both the culinary flair and the sophisticated ambiance one rightfully expects.

Unfortunately I cannot think of a worse way to spend $400 and 4.5 hours. Not sure how this meal took so long, I was literally suffering at the end of it. The first bread course and the strawberry dessert was good. The snacks were passable. That’s about it. They substituted my oyster with one speckle of roasted cauliflower. Most of the meal had flavors and ingredients that did not jive together well. And the next to last dessert, a combination of chocolate, pecorino cheese and mushroom broth left the most offensive taste in my mouth. Really did not get much of a story regarding the chef’s journey either, which was supposed to be tie the meal together. This place is a skip!

This meal experience was just odd. The environment was overly industrial with lots of concrete and a strange large rectangular table we were sat in the middle of, in front of the kitchen. Several couples were offered seats at the end of the table and instead asked for a different option, because the table was so large you felt far away from the person you were across from. We were seated side by side, so didn't have this problem. We chose the 11 course meal option with the wine pairings. The pairings were hefty pours, which meant you had essentially almost 8 6 oz pours of wine. Many of them were sweet, and not all that appetizing. The food was complicated but unsophisticated. It was as if the chef was trying either TOO hard, or just not at all. The courses were too large for an 11-course meal, which left us way too full at the end of the meal and unable to even pleasantly entertain the dessert courses. I would not recommend this spot, especially given the price. This was our most expensive meal in Portugal and was one of the least pleasant.
