The restaurant was recommended by some friends, so we arrived confident that we'll have a really good dinner and time. However the experience was so bad. The most of options for entrance were not available, even with only 3 tables occupied. My main dish was notso bad, but for 25 euros it should be mandatory. On the other hand, my... More

I will keep it short. The design of restaurant is great but unfriendly and very bad service. Food quality is good but definitely by far over priced. The wines even worth overpriced.

This place is amazing. Both decor and food! Don't go before8 though as that's when it opens and you won't want to hang round outside!

Has to be seen to be believed and food that is worth every penny that you spend, which you might blanch at when you see the prices. Don't be put off by the derelict neighbourhood, this is a restaurant worth trying.

The ingredients and cooking here are competent and the service is well honed. Everyone I was with enjoyed their meals, but it is over priced. The best in this restaurant is the décor, it´s a nice place. But the ambiance is not the best, it was almost empty. I was in Alcântara Café on a wednesday at dinner. Maybe on... More
