With an inviting owner Silvia, who is incontestably a kind host with a great deal of patience and dedication for her guests. She started this restaurant adventure with her sister known to be a talented cook. Her husband, the wine maker of Aneto had purchased with her a winery that required a lot of attention and love. So, the idea was to create an Artisanal and innovative restaurant that would be supporting and enhancing their wine business. Well, they are now number ONE and recognized by the regional wine tourism association! Bravo ! They offer a small selection of Tapas and a wine pairing experience with eight original creations. They were also recommended to me by the owner of two great restaurants in Porto (Meia-Nau). The verdict is great! Our Tapas with Mussels and Sardines were great. The Portobello mushroom with tomatoes and a decomposition of ratatouille was divine. The Black Pasta with Mussels was also excellent. And for the wine The Grand Reserve Tinto 2020 was a delightful surprise. A full body wine with a well balanced combination of complexity and lightness. This wine offers a mixed elixir of joy with oak, vanilla, strong Blackberry , dark curent and wet saddle as well as a hint of chocolate and citrus! This is place is a great value in a charming and relaxed ambiance. We will be back!

We were supposed to have a private lunch under an olive tree, but the weather didn't cooperate. That sounded lovely, but the back-up may have been even lovelier. They set up lunch for us in the wine cellar. It was such a beautiful space, the walls were lined with oak barrels and there was some cool art at the far side. The table was set so perfectly with a couple of bottles of wine, a charcuterie board full of different cheeses and meats, and a very tasty fruit salad. They thought of everything, even having a heater under the table. We had the entire cellar to ourselves, just the three of us. After lunch, we did a tasting and tour of the winery with a group. The day couldn't have been more perfect and I had an amazing experience here!

Definitely recommend making a reservation, I found it impressive that the hostess's reservation system was essentially a notebook and pen in this digital age. We did not see much of our waiter, since the restaurant was extremely busy and filled up with diners. Standouts: 1. Razor clams - I'll always get these if I see it on the menu. Cooked in this incredible garlic sauce. 2. Fish and seafood cataplana - delicious, tomato-forward seafood stew; I liked the version that we had the night before more which came with rice and was more filling. But this was basically a never-ending bowl of fish, clams, mussels, and shrimp. Add to that the fact that the restaurant like most in Porto did not have A/C and I emerged feeling like I had been sitting in a sauna. Skipped dessert; I had my eye on the Weeel! froyo truck parked outside. One more nit - the metal chairs are not comfortable at all for sitting a long time in.

The staff greetings and engagement showcased the heavy investment and how seriously they have been running this restaurant for a long time. Yes, service was next level. We were a party of six and three different servers attended our table. Also, The chef came out to check on us after we finished eating. Menu is very diverse. I ordered 4 main dishes to split with my wife since the prices were pretty good compared to the states and the place inspired me to try it all. We went with the Deer Loin, the Duck Magret, the Suckling Lamb Chops and the best which was the main Suckling Lamb(Lechazo). It was awesome!!! I left it for last because I knew it was the best. For my luck, my wife was super full and kept looking at me in disgust cause I kept devouring the Lechazo by myself like there was no tomorrow. She kept asking me if I wasn't full, while I kept forking those nice pieces of tender & tasty meat together with the crispy skin and wetting it in its own sauce before my bite. I truly enjoyed it. I wasn't too thrilled about the duck and deer although they were good dishes with delicious creams and sauces I wouldn't order again knowing I can have their Lechazo or Carrillera. Other notable dishes: the pumpkin soup was surprisingly nice. I didn't want to waste stomach space on the salad my wife ordered but the red and dark Cecina cuts(cow ham) looked amazing and my wife kept making joyful faces while eating so I tried it and it was pretty good. My father in law gave some of his garbanzos beans. He had asked the server to remove the octopus which I thought it was a crime, but still was very nicely done. As you can see in the pics, the server is pouring nice amounts of extra virgen spaniard olive oil and paprika. My in laws had the cod & salmon and they spoke well of their dishes. We were the last to leave the restaurant since I really wanted to try almost everything and that gave me time to take my kids to the bath. I was impressed to see they have more than 5 private toilet areas with to sinks in the middle very well designed. Luckily for me and other families they have a big room with changing stations. The place is very close to the Gaudí Palace and other attractions. I had a great experience and I highly recommend this place. Keep in mind all restaurants close their kitchen at 4:00pm for a few hours.
