    Really nice food but the service is over the top, that is why the 5 stars. The entrance was really well made, traditional food with a touch of modern, but all the traditional flavours were in. The issue was with the fish that was a little under cook, but the meat was perfect. They bring away to redo the fish that had already in a piece of meat, of the other plate, and when they bring back the fish, it took a little more than expected, was withought that piece of meat in wich we querie for, and they bring a new piece of meat just freshly made. Was amazing, beside the apology they brought a plate with all there deserts. It was amazing, the best thing ever. I can't decide wich one was the best. Is really a qestion of what you like more, is traditional deserts very, very well made. In home you Don't arrive to that level. For me they should have these as an option of desert so we can try all.

  • 5/5 Duarte Moreira R. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) First coming to Culina! Chef Rui Lopes' restaurant, we came to lunch with a focus on the famous kid. We arrived we were immediately attended and taken to the reserved table. For starters we ask the Chef to choose them. He sent us the Chamuças de Coelho with Escabeche and Alheira, Grelos and Marmelada de Odivelas. The Chamuças, very well made with spicy and balanced filling, the pasta is very good and not oily. Main course we ordered all the Cabrito Serrano Transmontano DOC accompanied by sausage rice, roasted potatoes and greens. The Goat was divine, well seasoned, juicy and falling apart at the touch of cutlery. The equally divine and tasty potatoes. Regarding sausage rice, it was very good and tasty despite being a little too salty. To finish the lunch we ordered a dessert pajama, a marble board that had chocolate mousse, almond tart, caramel foam and abbe priscos pudding. The best is in my opinion the super tasty and consistent chocolate mousse. Good caramel foam, pudding slaughtering prisks surprised them for having balanced the amount of sugar, the almond afternoon was already a little bit to whom due to the base of the afternoon being little crunchy. Cozy and well decorated space. The Service was attentive, careful and even was quick. Congratulations Chef Rui and the whole team !! I will come back... (Original) Primeira vinda ao Culina! Restaurante do Chef Rui Lopes, viemos almoçar com foco no famoso Cabrito. Chegamos fomos logo atendidos e levados a mesa reservada. As Entradas pedimos ao Chef que as escolhesse. Ele mandou nos as Chamuças de Coelho com Escabeche e a Alheira, Grelos e Marmelada de Odivelas. As Chamuças, muito bem feita com recheio apimentado e equilibrado, já a massa muito boa e nada oleosa. Prato principal pedimos todos o Cabrito Serrano Transmontano DOC acompanhado por arroz de enchidos, batata assada e grelos. O Cabrito estava divinal, bem temperado, suculento e a desfazer-se ao toque dos talheres. As batatas igualmente divinais e saborosas. Em relação ao arroz de enchidos, estava com consistência muito boa e saboroso apesar de estar um pouco salgado de mais. Para finalizar o almoço pedimos um pijama de sobremesas, veio uma tábua de mármore que tinha mousse de chocolate, tarte de amêndoa, Espuma de caramelo e pudim abade priscos. A melhor é na minha opinião a mousse de chocolate super saborosa e consistente. Espuma de caramelo boa, pudim abate priscos surpreendeu por terem equilibrado a quantidade de açúcar, já a tarde de amêndoas ficou bocadinho à quem devido a base da tarde ser pouco estaladiça. Espaço acolhedor e bem decorado. O Atendimento foi atencioso, cuidado e até foi rápido. Parabéns Chef Rui e toda a equipa!! Irei voltar...

  • 5/5 Judite C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Well-made food, with lots of flavor and different but great combinations! It is worth trying the cod cakes and the alheira (starters), the grilled octopus and the codfish brás (main dishes) and for dessert nothing better than the chocolate mousse! (Original) Comida bem confeccionada, com muito sabor e combinações diferentes mas geniais! Vale a pena experimentar os pastéis de bacalhau e a alheira (entradas), o polvo na brasa e o bacalhau à brás (pratos principais) e para sobremesa nada melhor que a musse de chocolate!

  • 2/5 Ricardo P. 1 year ago on Google
    Over priced! Clearly trying to get close to a fine dining restaurant but far away from that! Would not recommend due to the price you pay for such a small portions with very average quality and in some items even under average.

    (Translated by Google) Mandatory for those who live or pass in Odivelas. Food prepared with taste and attentive to details, giving a modern touch to traditional dishes, but without falling into pretentiousness, and all at fair prices. Those who are frequent customers may find the menu relatively short. Friendly and efficient service. Wine list with good and little obvious references, which is to be commended. (Original) Obrigatório para quem vive ou passa em Odivelas. Comida confeccionada com gosto e atenta aos pormenores, dando um toque moderno a pratos tradicionais, mas sem cair em pretensiosismos, e tudo a preços justos. Quem é cliente frequente talvez considere o menu relativamente curto. Serviço simpático e eficiente. Carta de vinhos com boas e pouco óbvias referências, o que é de louvar.
