MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

One Star: High quality cooking

This is one of those places where you seek more than just a meal — you seek produce, flavour, technique... and a culinary experience that moves you; not surprisingly, they wanted to pay tribute to José Saramago’s famous work “Blindness” and build their ethos around three concepts that play with the senses: Feel, Touch and Provoke. This restaurant, inside the Torel Palace hotel, is overseen by Chef Vítor Matos and run day-to-day by the young Chef Rita Magro. Here they champion a cuisine guided by common sense, serious in presentation yet playful (they offer a few blind tastings), with plating not devoid of a theatrical touch. The concept involves a single surprise tasting menu, called Blind Emotions, with two variations: one featuring 10 courses and another with 12. They may surprise you with lit butter candles, the tinkling of a Swiss cowbell, or a Polaroid photo while you’re blindfolded... Do you accept the challenge?
