10/10Superb service and food! This is hands-down my favorite restaurant in Coimbra, and might just be my top pick for all of Portugal.

10/10l've wanted to visit here for quite some time, and have already made several bookings which I needed to cancel for a variety of reasons, so when an unexpected opportunity for a date night with my wife cropped up, I booked the moment I realised the in-laws were taking the kids for the weekend! The service and attention to detail did not disappoint-hours before our reservation the restaurant called to be sure about food allergies and to confirm if we wanted an outdoor or indoor table. We were treated with care, with menu details carefully explained. Staff were delicate and carefully took pride in beautifully presented food and a delightful culinary experience, but without what could easily have been a pretentious environment. The live music was perfect, with a guitarist who could actually sing well, and he played an eclectic and easy going mix of classics we could dip in and out of yet maintain our conversation and people watching. We'll definitely be back!

10/10Absolutely loved my experience here! The wine selection was exceptional rich, well-balanced, and clearly chosen with care. The staff was equally impressive: warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Their recommendations made the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Excellent dining experience!! Service and food were top notch! The waiter even had us try out some of their appetizers ( on the house).. which were wonderful. They even served a couple of small pieces of chocolate at the end to finish the meal. They truly know how to provide full service to their clientele. Looking forward to dining there again!

10/10I Indulged in the tasting menu at Devaneio and it was nothing short of a symphony for the senses. Each dish was artfully crafted, but what truly elevated the experience was the impeccable wine pairing. To top it off the service was attentive, a showcase of real care and knowhow. Will come back again.

10/10I had the pleasure of dining at Devaneio, and it was an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, the meal was nothing short of exceptional. Each dish was beautifully presented, bursting with flavor, and clearly made with the freshest ingredients. The wine pairings were expertly selected, elevating every bite to new heights. What truly set this meal apart, though, was the impeccable service. The staff was attentive without being overbearing, knowledgeable about the menu and wines, and genuinely passionate about ensuring we had the best experience possible. It’s rare to find a place where both the food and service are equally outstanding, and this restaurant truly nailed it. I can't wait to return!

8/10The service was exceptional, the wine was very good, however the food was very disappointing. They came highly recommended and the reviews have been good, so perhaps they had an off night. We chose their most expensive tasting menu with wine pairing. The food was attractive and well plated, but the execution was spotty. Simple things: prawns were mushy and didn’t have a firm fresh texture; cod loins were not seared on the skin side and over-seared on the flesh side; rib eye portion was very small and 70% fat; the duck in pastry was unremarkable. The remaining item was dessert, which was excellent. I would have given them a lower rating, however our server and the wine were both superb.

i’ve visited this restaurant and it was perfect. The food was cooked with extreme passion and dedication. The concept of having a ofyr in the middle of town is spectacular and the show cooking made with one of the chef’s makes everything seem magical.

8/10The starter was very fine with the olives and the very fresh and spezial bread. The first course was so-so. Burrata salad was just burrata and two small tomatoes and also poorly presented. Clearly not enough for this price. My bowl with small sliced prawns and a lemon sauce was also poorly presented and nothing special. The main course and dessert were again very fine. A waiter was very interested in our opinion because they really want to improve. We thought that was very good.
