I opted for the 14-course dinner. All dishes appeared delicate, requiring considerable  time and effort, complemented by very attentive service. However, I hoped for a signature dish that would be more memorable.  For those who are adverse to raw food, it's advisable to inform the staff beforehand.  Notably, small pink shrimps were served raw, the pigion was uncooked, and the veal was merely seared on the outside.

Worst dining experience I have ever had.  Presentation is good but that's where it stops, the taste of the food is horrible.   I've been to many Michelin star restaurants around the world.  This is the most expensive dinner at over $800 for 2 people and the worst food sadly.  We're so disappointed.  I did the wine paring and even the wines were disappointing especially for the price, which it tough to accomplish because there are so many incredible wines in Portugal.   The Cuddle fish was chewy and long, it got stuck in our throats, the lobster was under cooked, hard to cut and chewy and the veal was overcooked and tough to cut.    I mentioned this to the waiter, he mentioned it to the chef, the chef even came out and I said the above and he said thank you and would talk to the team and nothing else happened.  I also mentioned this to the front desk upon checkout as they asked and they said they would inform "someone" and again nothing happened. Not that I was expected anything.  Just lack of caring to go with the poor quality food.

Again if you want a 14 course of good looking plating, this is for you but if you want to enjoy the taste, don't go here!

The service team was exceptional though, it's not their fault I didn't enjoy the food.

Enjoyed our tasting menu here at Le Monument during our visit in Porto.

What standout for us was their super professional services and staff.  Very accommodating and friendly. They took the time to explain the dishes and the attention to details.

Tasty and delicious from the chefs including the desserts and pastry.
We would have enjoyed more if the lighting was brighter so that we can see well of their wonderful dishes (just a personal preference)
We chose the shorter menu around $200 per person and were really fulled at the end while we enjoyed the closing tea.
Highly recommended!

The chef and pastry Chef are clearly talented. At dinner, it was even mentioned that the pastry chef should just open up a bakery and she would put Ogi by Euskalduna out of business . A bit of an exaggeration, but we adored the baked goods.
For our experience, it wasn’t the back of the house so much as the front of the house that made us leave halfway through our meal granted we had been there for two hours already. The diaphanous formality of service and theatrical aspect of it just didn’t work for us. Where I was expecting service on par with Le Bernardin , we received storylines about the courses placed in front of us that had been memorized and told 1000 times over. It seemed forced and was awkward and uncomfortable for us to hear.
Speaking of comfort we were placed in a banquet. there was a vase of dried dead kangaroo paws (flowers) On the table, definitely not a good thing with the supposed caliber of this establishment.
Ultimately, why we decided to leave was if you were going to be sitting for 2 to 4 hours it better be very comfortable , and this banquet was not.  The cushions collapsed down to the plywood and was very hard to sit on, now mind you, I am all of 70 kg . I even did get up and walk over to another section and sit down to see if it was the same thinking perhaps we could just move, but it was the same.   I had a brief conversation with a lady next to me who also felt the same way.
We got up went to the bar (which is gorgeous) had an excellent Japanese whiskey paid the bill and left .

The Michelin guide rarely disappoints but unfortunately Le Monument was one of those times. The concept sounded promising but the execution was poor. The food was beautifully presented but it just didn’t taste very good—definitely did not compare with the other Michelin star (or Bib Gourmand) restaurants we ate at in Portugal. It’s confusing to me that it even has a star in the first place. The flavor combinations often didn’t work and seemed like the chef was trying too hard to be avant garde.

We got the 14 course tasting menu and the pacing of the courses was weirdly slow. We were at the restaurant for over 4 hours, and after waiting over 30 minutes for the last course (an infusion prepared table side—not sure why it took 30 minutes for them to bring some boiling water and tea to our table) we were basically falling asleep in our chairs.

There are so many better restaurants in Porto, save your money and time and skip Le Monument.
