The food was very tasty and my server was helpful in selecting it and then checking on me periodically throughout my meal to see if I needed anything else. One thing that was a little disappointing was that as soon as I was seated, another server brought me a couvert course of breads, butter and cheese. I was delighted to have this to enjoy while my food was prepared. I thought it was complimentary but it was NOT! I saw it was charged as €5 on my bill. Not that I could not pay it but I should have been asked if it was not included. I was obviously not a local as I was speaking another language. Overall, I would recommend Espaço 39 Degraus, and I would dine there again if I had the chance.
