Restaurante Matasellos

A new venture, this place pulls out all the stops. The waiter was knowledgeable and suggested improvements at just the right time. We enjoyed every dish, but the short rib and the duck with apples were very special.

Food was excellent. I especially recommend the “tartar de vaca vieja”, one of the best I’ve had. Staff is very kind and very knowledgeable about their menu. The building is very nice and clean but the atmosphere could be a little bit “warmer”.

We had an early booking (2030] and arrived a little early (2020) thinking we might have a pre dinner drink; unfortunately, the bar was not manned and neither was reception. (Another couple were also waiting behind us). No staff were visible before a waitress appeared at 2030 and we were taken to our table. Our starter was very good, as was one of the main courses. The other main course (duck) was somewhat over-cooked and, therefore, slightly tough. There were only a few customers in the restaurant whilst we were there and, therefore, there was no real ambience.

Really great quality food, tasty with excellent service. Nice selection of wines from the region, red, white and rose. Went on Tuesday night so very quiet but not a bad thing from my point of view

very nice environment in a newly renovated historical building. very interesting menu.
