A Escola By The Artist - Porto

The service and waitress was good. She was very polite and nice. The atmosphere at a funeral would have been better. No buzz.. nobody in the building except 3 staff which felt really weird. It was like being in a library or museum with nothing in the place. It was even hard to find the toilet until the waitress offered to walk me to it which was strange. I refused her kind offer and then when I did go a man appeared in the lobby to show me the door which was not sign posted. Back to the food.. it tries to be cool.. but it ain't. The food is tiny. The main of steak was overcooked and had zero seasoning. The dessert was good in fairness. For 60 quid a head it lacked value.. wow factor or any sense of wanting to return. If you like pretentious meals then you will fit right in. The food looks super pretty though..

Heel erg goed verzocht. Aardige mensen en een uitstekende kok. In Nederland betaal je 30pct meer voor zoiets.

Sophisticated setting, friendly staff almost too eager to please, average food and a high bill with wine and extra costs. We had the standard 14.50 euro lunch menu. Wine by the glass or bottle was expensive, and we chose one of the cheaper bottles of white at 30 euros. Our waiter apologised that it was warm and he would chill it further. When it arrived we were well into our main courses. He opened the bottle but it was still warm and we sent it back for an alternative, a shame as it would have saved the bottle and been quicker and easier to offer something else at the start. Food was OK but not spectacular or memorable and rather bland. The bill for two came to 70 euros with 3 euros for a bottle of water, and I noticed later a mysterious extra 8 euros added on for two 'menu a comidas ' a cover charge? Nothing quite came together, a dirty wineglass, a bone in the fish fillets.. and it was generally disappointing. I know it is a training college but better supervision of the staff would have helped all round, for them and for us.

This is one of the best restaurants in Porto. Friendly staff, tasty and unusual dishes, good service, and a nice atmosphere. I highly recommend this place and I will return there again. We had 5-course experience, and it was enough for us to be full and happy

Visitei este restaurante para almoçar para comemorar o Dia dos Namorados. O serviço foi bom, com funcionários atenciosos garantindo que fomos bem atendidos. No entanto, a comida era apenas média, nada particularmente memorável. Uma desvantagem significativa foi o tempo que a comida levou para chegar. Tivemos apenas uma hora de intervalo para almoço, e a espera reduziu nosso tempo limitado, tornando a experiência um pouco apressada e estressante.
