The aim is to bring to the stage all the actors in this project: the products, the producers, the collaborators and, naturally, the owners — chef Marco Almeida and his partner Ana, the dining‑room lead. In this setting, where the protagonists are the ingredients, attention begins at the source, with the suppliers’ distance indicated at the end of each “cena” (scene). The commitment to local products and attachment to their land are reflected in creative dishes that are nonetheless familiar in the region, such as the intense manteiga de Leitão da Bairrada (Bairrada suckling‑pig lard), the Mocktail Beirão aperitif — which breaks to reveal the iconic Beirão liquor — or the maritime flavour of oysters. We were surprised by the delicate Rainha Santa Isabel dessert, which celebrates the curious story of the miracle of the roses. The offering is divided into two tasting menus: Equilíbrio and Palco Principal, the latter structured in Acts I, II and III, allowing you to choose between 5 or 8 “cenas” (scenes) (as well as a children’s menu and a vegetarian menu, which follow the same dynamic).
