When you ring the bell, the doors open onto an intimate space brimming with personality, reminiscent of Japanese izakayas, featuring a counter opposite the kitchen where all dishes are prepared. What's their proposition? A tasting menu that will leave no one unmoved, highlighting Chef Vasco Coelho Santos's passion for a wide array of world cuisines. With coherence as a foundation, he pushes flavour to its limit, enabling him to work with charcoal, introduce smoky notes, use aged fish from his own fishmongers (many sourced from Azorean waters)... and pair the main ingredients with intriguing condiments, from spices to spicy herbs. The chefs, who interact a great deal with customers, always add a surprise dish not shown on the menu!
