Barcarola - Costa Cabral em Porto

31/07/2024: Comment décrire avec quelques mots seulement l'expérience culinaire vécue ce soir ? Un accueil et un service très professionnel, chaleureux et souriant. Un menu "Voyage au Portugal" qui est comme un opéra gastronomique en (au moins) 10 actes particulièrement soigné. C'est bon, original et même à plusieurs moments faits de surprises que nous n'avions jamais vu ailleurs. Cela vaut bien évidemment une étoile au Guide Michelin, mais le parcours du chef Julien devrait rapidement l'amener au firmament d’étoiles au pluriel. Ce fut une soirée simplement marquante et inoubliable.

05/07/2024: We knew we had have a great culinary experience as soon as we walked in but we didn’t know we would face a monumental task - the 14 course Tour de Portugal was delicious but lasted from 8pm to 12:30 am which was no easy feat. The food itself was very creative and a delicious combination of tastes, flavors and colors and we enjoyed every plate. The wine list was also wonderful. So we highly recommend this adventure but come prepared for a long journey. The restaurant did a great job handling g allergies and last minute food swap requests and that is very nice of them. Service was friendly but perhaps not as attentive as I would have expected at such a high end establishment (refilling your water or folding your napkin when you get up is nice but not noticing a guest is left handed or not feeling well should also be part of the service at a place like this).
