Xtoria

I would give 6 stars plus the Michelin. Starting from the reservation via phone, the lady was so nice telling me she only had a table close to the door (but still nice) since was a last minute booking. All the personnel speak English and could explain in details all the food coming from the tasting menu (5 courses/60€). I really suggest to try it, and their local wines. If you add to a delicious food also courtesy and an elegant but familiar contest, you have this restaurant. Can’t wait to try the octopus! Thank you, Martina

Beautiful experience dining here for the first time - starting from the vibe when you enter through the very end. The restaurant is uniquely decorated, with a very warm team enhancing every part of the meal. The dishes we ordered were delicious and beautifully plated, with creative flavors and ingredients. Our server, Prince, was outstanding. Knowledgeable, very warm, and worth returning again!

The food was so good. interesting combinations you are not sure that work but do. for example a dessert of cheese, white chocolate and cuttle fish ink crumb. Delicious. The service was professional, explaining the dishes. we will try to go again on this hol.

I was looking forward to our dinner at Xtoria after reading the reviews and realizing that it has a Michelin Bib Gourmand rating. The menu looked very interesting as well. I made sure to make a reservation a week before our arrival to Setúbal. The service was friendly so we thought we were off to a good start until we received the first dish. There was nothing anyone particularly liked, everything was so bland. The taste (or the lack thereof) was in high contrast with the elaborate description in the menu and the nice plating. I enjoyed the tiger prawn in my dish but that was about it. I had to apologize to my partner and our friends since I was the one who picked this restaurant. We did not even want to order any desserts. It is very unfortunate because the vision is there but the execution fell really short. I am giving 2 stars due to our high expectations set by the Michelin selection.

The service was very warm and welcoming. The food was amazing - tasty and local. The restaurant looks very new and clean. Loved everything!

One of the best restaurants I ever dined in. Let’s start with the place. The restaurant is decorated with taste. The lady who welcomed us was so professional giving us what we need as info about the menu. Smiling and calm it was really nice to discuss with her. The food is just perfect. Perfect balance of flavors and textures. All the dishes were so good. I highly recommend this restaurant for a perfect dinner in Setubal.

Heartfelt lovely run place. Excellent cuisine food and ambience. Very attentive friendly service. Not expensive at all.

I came here a few nights ago and I’ve eaten here every meal since. I love food from the bottom of my heart but the chefs here know depth of flavour like no one else. The unique flavour combinations are next level and the cook on everything was perfection. The fried egg starter is exquisite- an absolute must. We ordered the steak, duck, and risotto- I’ve never struggled so much to pick a favourite. They are all so special and delicious. The rose sangria is also lovely. Cheers to the chef and see you soon :)
