    Incredible food experience in relaxing atmosphere. International inspired dishes with Portuguese ingredients and a Spanish touch. The combinations of flavors and textures is exciting and surprising. They make haute cuisine available for everyone. Unbelievable that this experience can be so affordable. I love food. I have been all over the world. And I can say that this is a little hidden gem!

    The most amazing experience. Unforgettable. This restaurant opened a few weeks ago. It is the work of Javier, an Spanish chef, and Vera, his Portuguese wife. After many years working with many of the world’s top chefs, they decided to finally open their restaurant, in Cascais, Vera’s hometown. They bring to Portugal a top experience, a cuisine not seen previously here. I expect word of mouth and food critics will eventually make this place extremely popular. After being there twice, I cannot recommend this place enough.

    They are open again! New menu with a few old favorites. Great friendly service as always, but with masks, plastic menus, distance, etc. Photos show most of what the three of us had - I was too excited to dig into the "Coffee with “cheirinho”" so I missed taking that photo. Please, let's all support our local tallent!

    New Year's Eve dinner. Four hours of nightmare. These ridiculous were busy pouring water, changing cutlery and serving bread instead of serving real food. After an hour of sitting in the restaurant, I got one piece of cold shrimp and from there it got worse with pretentious food that fails to take off. We arrived at eight, left at midnight hungry and frustrated.

    Worst New Year's Eve dinner I've ever had. We visit quite a few fine dining restaurants all over the world, so we have an idea about an understandable multi-course chef's meal. But in this case, after four hours!!! We left this nightmare, hungry without even finishing our dinner. After reading the rave reviews I chose this restaurant. Oh my, how terrible it was. We arrived at 20:15. At 20:45, since no food arrived at the table, we asked for bread. They gave everyone one slice even without butter. At 21:00 we asked for bread with butter ..... 45 minutes after we sat down at the table we received bread with butter. In the meantime, a couple sat down next to us (probably friends of the owner) who had already received the first course....while we are still waiting. Finally, an hour after we sat down, we received the first course with a poor explanation regarding what was served to the table. During the meal we received horrible dishes. The Razor shell dish was with sand. One of the dishes had the hair of someone from the restaurant staff. My tiny fish dish was with fishbone. Lack of uniformity of portions. The chicken dish was horribly salty. Towards midnight when finally (after four hours!!!! ) we were supposed to get to dessert they stopped the service, poured "champagne" .... it is more correct to say sparkling wine without asking us if it is suitable for us. At this moment we broke for good. We asked for the bill (after we had already paid 60% in advance) but they refused to charge us for the remaining 40% and the wine. Apparently it's a generous act ... but since the profit on the wine is usually three times and the profit on the food has already been paid in advance, they seemingly made a gesture but in reality they ruined our New Year's Eve. Needless to say, the condescending and unprofessional behavior of the chef's wife was laughable when she clumsily tried to entertain the diners and solve the service problem. Apparently the positive reviews are from the owner's friends. Otherwise there is no explanation for bad food and service of this restaurant. Terrible evening, if it was possible to put zero stars on this place (you can't call this place a restaurant) we would do it. Bottom line, my long review cannot express our frustration and disappointment with this horrible place. Don't be tempted by the positive reviews. Probably they belong to their friends and people on their behalf

    We were looking for another restaurant and fortunately stumbled onto this! -- followed our noses. The chef has a passion to bring unusual flavors together in a way that is amazing! The staff is attentive but unobtrusive. Definitely go for the full menu, each service was spectacular. A delightful laid-back atmosphere.

    Exceptional in every way. Service was world class, tastings were excellent, original, and used the finest quality ingredients. Also, they adroitly accommodated a vegetarian without prior notice, which should always be arranged for tasting menus, many thanks for their ability to pull that off so seemlessly. Thanks for a truly awesome evening.

    (Translated by Google) Everything is exquisite, harmonious, succulent. This is 3 star cuisine in the Michelin firmament, creative, unexpected and delicious. The chef and Vera, who does the service, are modest, discreet, attentive people, the room is tasteful and the tables are widely spaced for the comfort of customers and for their health security. We were delighted and will be sure to return, of course. Thank you to our refined friends who told us about this place, still too confidential. (Original) Tout est exquis, harmonieux, succulent. C'est de la cuisine 3 étoiles au firmament de Michelin, créative, inattendue et délicieuse. Le chef et Véra qui fait le service, sont des gens modestes, discrets, attentionnés, la salle est de bon goût et les tables très espacés pour le confort des clients et pour leur sécurité sanitaire. Nous avons été ravis et ne manquerons pas de revenir, bien sûr. Merci à nos amis raffinés qui nous ont indiqué ce lieu, trop confidentiel encore.

  • 4/5 Tova L. 1 year ago on Google
    Such an odd yet wonderful experience. We had the 7 course menus which was delicious. Very small portions but at the end we were full. Could also be backside of the amazing bread served and all the alcohol but overall it was a great night only made better by the warm and charming staff who were so attentive and friendly it’s hard not to leave a good review!

    (Translated by Google) We went a couple of weeks ago by external recommendation my partner and I, and could not be better; Product of the highest quality, pairing and service without a doubt. Awesome mackerel and sardines; We also enjoyed the beautiful with the oxtail and foie and the shrimp and choco niguiri. On rare occasions I have eaten that well, no doubt at the level of the Michelin stars I have been to. (Original) Fuimos hace un par de semanas por recomendación externa mi pareja y yo, y no pudo estar mejor; Producto de primerisima calidad, maridaje y servicio sin duda a la par. Impresionante la caballa y las sardinas; También disfrutamos de lo lindo con el rabo de toro y foie y el niguiri de langostino y choco. En contadas ocasiones he comido así de bien, sin duda al nivel de los estrellas Michelin en los que he estado.

    I didn't have time to do this review after my holiday but the meal was so incredible I made a not to make sure I didn't forget. WOW! We booked this restaurant just before peak season and it just so happened that the other 2 tables booked in that night cancelled last minute. Rather than disappoint us they gave us a night to remember, just our table in their magnificent restaurant. We had our 4 year old son who LOVES eating out and they were happy to do him small tasters from the menu. The food was exceptional and the service and wine selection was an absolute joy. This was without a doubt the best dining experience of our holiday, I would fly back to Cascais just for this restaurant. Thank you to all of the team x

    We were at Casa Davolta tonight and it was great! The service was extremely attentive without being intrusive. As a guest you feel as the center of attention and even certain intolerances were meticulously taken care of. The food and wine were just perfect. Every course was outstanding. For us, definitely the best restaurant in Cascais and the surrounding area and we will be back! Thank you for this wonderful evening!

😐 So, firstly, the food here was very good! The starters were very tasty and huge portions (so beware unless you're really hungry), and the pizzas we had were delicious. And if you have a table by the window facing the sea, the view is lovely. However... overall experience was soured by poor service....

👍👍 Perfection. Spider crab was very well cooked, and was cut and set to eat with least effort. Steamed octopus was so tender and seafood rice had rich taste. And all the foods went so well with green wine. Wish I could visit again.
