The food was wonderful and original All was locally grown or produced. The accompanying wines for the fixed menu were new to me and delicious. The chef has such creativity and care for what he produces. The waitress who served enhanced the experience as did the sommelier. Each course was original and tasty. It is a small place and I feel so fortunate I was able to dine there. If only I did not live so far away and could easily return. I am do delighted that I discovered it through the Michelin directory.
O PalcoThank you!!!

We had a lovely evening - the food was amazing, very detailed, refined and delicious - the wine pairings were perfectly matched. The service was perfect too, both Ana and her colleague were professional, polite and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend this restaurant & we thought it was worth every penny.
O PalcoThank you Michelle!

Service was slow and very pedantic, just because it’s in the Michelin guide, it doesn’t mean that needs to be pedantic, we had -2 courses, 2 were good. I go to restaurants almost everyday and this was one of the most disappointing ones, took 30 mins just to get a drink, definitely don’t recommend, if you want to waste your time (and money), go to O Palco.
O PalcoObrigado.

Great Place. Should be getting a Michelin Star! We ate there July 28, 2025. You almost certainly will need a reservation. Plan on a nearly 4-hour experience. All food is sourced within 60 km of the restaurant. At our visit there was an 8-course tasting menu for 90E and a 5-course for 45E. There was also a vegetarian option with the same number of courses and the same price. Also a 12 course menu for 140E which was the 8 course tasting menu plus 4 "surprises". There is an also a children's menu with 6 courses for 25E plus a "baby option " menu. Our food was fantastic. Both in taste and presentation. The wine pairings for the main and vegetarian menu were 40E/50E. Wines were great. Food was great. Service was beyond great. It was a wonderful experience. The only suggestion I would have ........the day we ate there, the T was around 37c/99f and the restaurant was very warm well into the late evening. The kitchen is close and it gets warm/hot. Fans would be helpful
O PalcoThank you!!

Their food experience is quite high level. We had the 5 scene-programme. Our only (tiny) remark would be: coffee as scene 5 we believe to be the weakest link in the programme, since the coffee was too light to our taste. Price/Quality: great
O PalcoThank you!

Only guests - so we had full focus from a super staff who served great food with local ingredients in a sustainable way with a lot of twists - quite small restaurant for these big ambitions - we love Coimbra
O PalcoThank you!

A memorable dining experience! The food is always interesting , often surprising and with many delicious moments we wanted to repeat. The menu is full of bold and adventurous concepts executed with a lot of care, research and thought. The wait staff were so knowledgeable and also show a lot of attention to detail while making us feel comfortable. We will be talking about this for a while.
O PalcoThank you! :)

Recommended by friends and we were so glad we followed their advice. Extraordinary meal. Incredible attention to detail, exquisite flavours, friendly and informative staff. A bit out of town and in an unremarkable building but don’t let that put you off. A clear 10 out of 10.
O PalcoThank you!!!
