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.

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

9.5/10Their 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

9.5/10Only 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

10/10A 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.

10/10Recommended 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.

When you visit O Palco, be prepared to embark on a culinary journey that titillates your taste buds with tastes of Portugal that are both familiar, creative and innovative. The staff are alchemists that take you on a memorable food journey. You choose from several menus with optional wine pairings that are delicious and display the varied cuisine of the region and country more broadly. We selected the 7 course meal with wine pairings that was exquisite from start to finish. You will not regret booking a reservation here. Plan ahead to experience this alimentary delight.

9.5/10Excellent creative dishes as part of a tasting menu (with 5, 7, or 10 courses as desired), all beautifully presented. Serving staff were charming and gave a lot of helpful information about each 'scene' within the different 'acts'. Highly recommended.
