Every dish is wonderful and extremely well priced. We loved it so much we went back again 3 days later. You will experience flavours you have never had before. Iâm not a foodie but this stuff is good. $5-8 euros for most of the share plates. 3 dishes and a bottle of wine about $40 euros. Very reasonable. This guy should be on one of those Master Chef shows. Heâs a genius with food.

I don't mind paying good money for good food, but when the menu is so expensive, comparing to much better places in Portugal, it is sad.I ordered the goat cheese salad, which was a medium size salad, some lettuce, tomatoes, nice cheese, with VERY sweet sauce and no balance of flavors at all. Nothing delicate, just overpowering tastes. I guess the dish was supposed to be sophisticated. It really wasn't. Like a still in school chef. 9 Euro for that salad!!! Then came a pasta dish with sauted vegetables and mushrooms. Almost no flavor and no depth to this anemic dish. It is so easy to make a good dish with such fresh ingredients. It feels like this restaurant just ignores a growing group of vegetarian and vegan costumers, who want to eat a proper fine dinner,with some innovative touch and depth and creativity. To pay 9 Euros for very simple salad with very bad dressing, and 14 (!!!) Euro for a SMALL portion of average pasta, you can easily make better at home... That is just an insult for costumers. One of the worst places I ate in Portugal. No value for a lot of money.

Relatively new winery (2002) with fine restaurant showcasing the range of wines accompanying very good food. Diverse menu with snacks, full a la carte, and two fixed price menus including wine with each course. Tasting menu featured well cooked, well presented dishes. The service from each member of staff was highly attentive with interesting explanations/descriptions of both food and wine. Delightful surroundings. Excellent value for money.

My wife and I stopped in for lunch today after a friend recommended Gadanha. After a brief 30-40 minute wait, during which we sipped a very decent bottle of white wine, we were seated at a nice table for two. We ordered two starters and one main, splitting all three. First was a foie gras with a green apple reduction and dehydrated raspberry âcrumbsâ. After my first bite, I knew I was in for a treat today. The second starter was a goat cheese plate served in a hot cast iron skillet (which made the cheese melt) and with pears and a crispy wafer. Incredible. For our main, we split a porco preto (pork shoulder cut) that was perfection on a plate. Coupled with an apple sauce and a puree of sweet and russet potatoes with carrot tossed in. Very attentive service, food to die for and a charming, low key ambience. Not sure why some complain here of the prices; we ate and drank all of the above, and took two desserts to eat back at our hotel tonight and the bill, with 10% tip, was â¬110. Considering the culinary level, I found that to be a bargain. Keep up the good work, Gadanha. Vocês said demais!!!
