Had an epic experience here! Was able to get a reservation the day of and was so happy I did. Went for the 14 moments and it was perfectly portioned - was never too full or too hungry. Loved the variety and creativity with the food. It was visually stunning + delicious. I also got the wine pairing with the moments and that was so fun. The staff was so helpful with teaching me about Portuguese wines and explaining more about the wines on the map in the menu. I’m still thinking about this experience months after my trip! Highly recommend DOP.

This is my fourth time coming to this restaurant, and it will also be my last. The restaurant aims to get a Michelin star, and they’ve changed the menu to a tasting menu. Having been to Michelin-starred restaurants, I can regretfully tell you that at your current level, it’s impossible for you to earn a Michelin star!

1/ The biggest issue is the service attitude. The server attending to our table made me feel more like I was being addressed by a school principal than a server. When we made the reservation over the phone, we had clearly specified which table we wanted and received confirmation. However, upon arrival, we were not given the table we requested, and there was no apology. Instead, the server casually pointed to two undesirable tables and said, "These are the only two available; choose one."

2/ Our table was made up of two single-person tables pushed together. When the bread was served, the server placed it on one side of the table. My husband asked for an additional portion of bread for the other side, and she astonishingly replied, "No, we only provide one portion of bread. You can get more once you’ve finished! Just put the bread in the middle!" Such a response and service are truly infuriating! In the first picture, you can see the bread. We’re paying 85 euros per person, 100euro for the wine, and they make us wait until we finish the bread before they’ll bring more! How do they expect to earn a Michelin star with service like this?!

3/ Billing trap! In Porto, tipping is not mandatory, and many restaurants don’t even show a tip line on the bill. If service charges are suggested, they’re listed separately, as an option, even at Michelin-starred restaurants. However, this restaurant sneakily included the tip as part of the itemized bill and calculated it as 10%! This is the first time I’ve ever seen such a thing in Porto! It’s completely taking advantage of tourists!With such a level of service, I don’t think I want to pay the tip. We informed them of our decision not to pay, and they agreed.

Michelin inspectors don't just focus on the food itself; service, atmosphere, and attention to detail are also very important. It’s clear that this restaurant still has a lot of room for improvement in these areas.

The goal is not hidden, the 1st Michelin star is in their sight for this new concept restaurant. However, many approximations hinder them for the reward.
The staff is sometimes confused and lack communication, therefore lacking the perfection which they intend to reach.
The food is good but some plates are simply not at the required level. The restaurant is very expensive for the experience offered, especially for a none Michelin star restaurant. However the wine pairing is great.
The atmosphere and decorations of the plates are outstanding.
If the many minor details are offset, which I'm sure they'll be, I will recommend the restaurant.

Amazing experience, incredible food. We had the tasting menu (100€ pp), ordered a bottle of white wine and all was delicious. For the service water they charge you 3,5€. All the waiters were nice. It was my partner’s birthday and they brought a small cake with a candle, which was nice. The bathrooms are very beautiful. Definitely recommended!

Fast service: 5/5
Friendly service: 4/5
Tasty food: 5/5
Value for money: 5/5

Service is extremely professional, anticipating our needs. We arrived before the restaurant opened but were allowed to enjoy a glass of wine in the sun while we waited.
I had octopus for starter, and grouper for main dish. Octopus was very tasty, but grouper stole my heart. The combination of flavours and textures was a masterpiece.
