O Leão De Porches

Excellent food, very attentive service, nice cozy restaurant. Great value. We wanted us to live nearby to visit the restaurant more.

Delicious, down to earth restaurant with really great food. A super friendly team serves attentively and with empathy.

Superb dinner in every way. Comfortable outdoor setting, great service and wonderful food. The turbot fish was truly one of the most delicious dishes I’ve had in a long time.

Wonderful food, excellent service, in a beautiful location. We opted for three courses rather than the taster menu, and were continually impressed with what was placed in front of us. From scallops and steak tartare for starters, to black pork for main, and a coconut and pineapple dessert my husband claims to be on his top three ever desserts, it was a wonderful selection of food. We were recommended a red wine mashed on our preferences which was spot on, and the pace of the meal, and attention to topping up drinks was pitched perfectly- not too rushed, while still being there when needed. The surroundings are very traditionally Portuguese, warm and welcoming rather than being a new, bright, contemporary and soulless restaurant, which was exactly what we were after for our special meal.

Although eating, ambiente and service were good, the menu choices were very disappointing. it did not help if the desert choice I made was not available.
