Dishes were not bad, but my knife was very dull, so it was very hard to cut the beef and I gave up eating the dish.
Polvo and Rovalo were good. Are they same to those dishes of Michelin award? I am curious.

Fine dining in Braga, they don't advertise their plant based options but vegans won't be hungry here.
They offer simple dishes but perfectly executed - stir fry mushrooms with a hint of garlic and parsley.
For the main course you can choose mushrooms risotto or for tofu lovers like myself delicious tofu with veggies
All served with a generous serving of home made chips ( fries).
Restaurant has a warm and elegant vibe , what adds to the cosiness is nice orange interior.
One star less for the service , friendly and efficient, but from such a venue, I would expect more engagement
