fantastic food, very creative. I‘ve already been to two stars restaurants which were far from this level. We can only very warmly recommend. (and the prices are very reasonnable).

+4it's an outstanding experience here! wonderful food, warm service, and so I booked one more lunch when I finish my dinner! I tried so many one , two, three stars in many countries, but this one is undervalued for sure, it will upgrade very soon to two star or even three, I am not surprised at all!!! I can feel the team are using their heart to cook each dish and serve their customers. I definitely will book 3rd or 4th when I visit Portugal next time! good luck guys !

All Good for a Michelin restaurant. Food was surprising
7.5
It is a small place with I think 10 tables. We had the tasting menu, and the food was fantastic and beautifull presented, compatibel wine was okay not great. For we went to O Bacao we looked at the website and saw that the price of tasting menu was 115 pp and compatibel wine 45. At the restaurant they Saïd this were old proces now it is 130 pp and wine 55. For a Michelin star restaurant I would expect that the website is up to date

incredible food, fantastic wine pairing, but way more expensive than you might expect. €500 for 3 people....

+8Fantastic experience. The food was so delicious. We had the tasting menu, and it was beautifully curated to the region. Definitely coming back.

Nice small cover per night but just lacking that final touch and sparkle. Greeting was average, lacking the attention to detail. Most of the dishes were missing the sparkle expected from a Michelin starred restaurant. Don’t rest on your laurels as this will be your undoing!

High level is maintained across snacks from amuses to mignardises and everything in between.

I’ve dined at many Michelin star restaurants and while this restaurant may only have a nomination it deserves the highest recognition. The food is amazing and the service matched. I will be back.

I appreciate the basic philosophy of the restaurant: cooking with regional products. Nice presentations, delicious food and good wine pairing. Waiters where very friendly, but they would be more understandable if they would speak a little louder😉. This was the 3rd time I had the tasting menu this year (May, July and December). Very original, but there are very few changes in the courses, during the 3 tastings. If anything can be improved, I would suggest changing the courses in the tasting menu on a regular timing. O Balcao is a feast for foodies. I will come back.

It was not the first time there … the food is exeptional & very proffessiinal service from the young waitress . The Chef passed by all tables & ours as well , he was a bit uncomfortable & perhaps because we praised him in English …. I highly recommend the food & service ✨✨✨✨✨✨
