This Portuguese dinner discovery was something special, and it makes it even more amazing that this is coming from someone that couldn't even cook an egg when they started! 😉

Cette expérience n'a malheureusement pas été à la hauteur de mes attentes. Bien que le chef ait été très gentil et ait bien expliqué les plats,... read more l'ambiance portugaise tant vantée n'était pas au rendez-vous. Il y avait un manque de cohésion pendant le repas (0 discussions, débats, présentation..) Le serveur ne semblait pas très familier avec les coutumes du service, ce que je peux comprendre, mais j'aurais espéré un peu plus d'animation (un minimum)comme on peut le voir chez vos homologues sur Airbnb. De plus, nous sommes partis seulement deux minutes après avoir fini notre dessert, et nous n'étions pas les seuls à le faire. Personnellement, je n'ai pas trouvé le repas sensationnel, bien que ma copine l'ait apprécié.
En tant que professionnel de la restauration et amateur d'expériences gastronomiques, je suis déçu.
Il faut voir la chose du bon coté (l’axe d’amélioration est présent) je réessaierai si les avis changent

Mateus and Marcos... read more walked us through each dish, sharing the ingredients and their regional provenance in Portugal—so it was a bit educational, learning some about specific preparations too (such as the clay pot chicken).
