The StageThe Stage

Image Credit: The aim is to bring to the stage all the actors in this project: the products, the producers, the collaborators and, naturally, the owners — chef Marco Almeida and his partner Ana, the dining-room lead. In this setting, where the protagonists are the ingredients, attention beginnings at the source, with the suppliers' distance indicated at the end of each scene. The commitment to local products and attachment to their land are reflected in creative dishes that are nonheless family in the region, such as the intense Bairrada piglet butter (Bairrada suckling-pig lard), the Mocktail Beirão aperitif — which breaks to reveal the iconic Beirão liquor — or the maritime flavor of oysters. We were surprised by the delicate Queen Santa Isabel dessert, which celebrates the curious story of the miracle of the roses. The offering is divided into two tasting menus: Balance and Stage Main, the later structured in Acts I, II and III, allowing you to choose between 5 or 8 scenes (as well as a children's menu and a vegetarian menu, which follow the same dynamic).
