    Our Saturday evening meal at Café Scenarium was excellent. The choices were good and the meals were excellent. Our only surprise was how quiet it was for a Saturday night.

    This resto/café is a bit of everything. It is absolutely different from the big pond of portuguese resraurants: more variety and a touch of class in its interiour and furniture. Also it overlooks the beautiful valley. Downsides are the overpriced cocktails (nothing much) and the know-it-all staff that impose their opinion/recommendations too stromgly.

    The restaurant made an effort with the décor but needs some F&B consultancy. The menus lack a defined style and mix many references without mastering any of them. The starters are ridiculous, and the main courses are far too expensive for their portions. There is a bar, but even a simple gin and tonic was prepared incorrectly. In short, a mistake that will not be repeated.

    The very welcoming and lovely staff helped me to practice my Portuguese after I told them I've been learning it. The food was amazing - there's a range of local /Portuguese specialties and - again - the staff helped to explain and give recommendation. When sitting on the terrace you can even watch the sunset. I'll definitely come back. Muito obrigada.

    We ordered scrambled egg starter, but the chef doesn’t know what a fried egg is… cos that’s what we got! Then he had a burger, ordered medium rare. It was very well done, but the waitress didn’t offer to change it, and nothing was knocked off the bill. Same with my duck breast, overcooked, with no apology or offer of a new one. On a good note, staff were very attentive and pleasant. My tuna starter was lovely.

    The staff were attentive without being intrusive; the decor and ambience were pleasing and contemporary; then there was the food. Clean, fresh, beautifully presented and absolutely delicious! This is my favourite restaurant in Portugal!

    Beautiful Restaurant, the food was excellent, we were a party of 3 and every dish was fabulous - we had the Fish Skewers, Pork Tagliatelle and Ribs. The trio of Panacotta was also pretty good - although way too much for 1 person so we shared between 3!! We will definitely be returning!

    Nice greeting - pretty environment - served well. Only disappointment was that we wanted one of the deserts but with ice cream and not cream and we were told they would not switch it so we left without desert
