Set in a historic building but featuring a renovated contemporary interior, this welcoming restaurant stands out as a splendid option for a meal in the city centre, being just a few metres from the 19th-century Mercado Ferreira Borges.Award-winning chef Rui Paula (Casa de Chá da Boa Nova, in nearby Leça da Palmeira) has revamped this establishment’s concept in a more gastronomic direction, focusing solely on a tasting menu called "Não há futuro sem memória" (There’s No Future Without Memory) (available in 6, 10 or 14 courses). The first starters can be served at the bar at the entrance, and subsequently, in the intimate dining room, you can savour contemporary dishes with traditional roots, not without a few Asian touches introduced by Sandro Teixeira, the resident chef. A standout dish? Without a doubt, the Squid / Carbonara, considered a house classic that reinterprets the delicious tagliatelle carbonara made exclusively with squid.
