Beautiful dinner in a great setting, you must get the scallop dish ! Great wine menu too.
Genuinely excited about each course. Worth a drive if you are staying nearby.

They are on the Michelin list so they don't have to rely on my review but still phenomenal food and service. Very friendly and almost family like service, restaurant has two terraces and indoor space, so even they can serve many guests it feels like you are in family visit
Food, drink is outstanding. We opted not to have set me at but ordered multiple dishes and shared. Great experience.

We took the 5 course degustation menu. The dishes were all consistently of high quality.
Each of them was a creative combination of quality ingredients giving a very nice elegant taste and structure of the dishes. Finally I add that the service was excellent and professional. The terrace was cozy. In summary, we were very satisfied and had a very enjoyable experience.

Had we had the time, we wouldn't have gone to the O Leao de Porches just twice. Nestled in the small village, in a 17th-century farmhouse. In the 19th century, a small culinary gem is hidden. Whether you choose individual dishes or a 5-course meal, each course was a taste experience. The chef skill…
