34 - Guimarães

There is a reason you need reservations here. Be forewarned. They open for dinner at 8pm so be prepared for a later dinner than usual. BUT! It's worth it. I have heard of many horror stories pertaining to dining experiences, (to be honest, the states aren't that great either) But I was blown away by the service and friendliness of both our server and the hostess! One of the best customer service experiences I've had at any restaurant in the world. Now, let's get to the food~ Amazing bread with 3 different tyoes of butter made from truffles, tomatoes, and herbs. Then we had a salmon appetizer which was different, but good, but my goodness, their Duck and Cod Fish entrees were PHENOMENAL! My mind was blown. If you look at the pictures, accompanying the duck was what we thought was the best Mashed Potatoes I've ever had, but I found out from our server that it was Celery Puree!!!!! O.M.G it was so creamy and delicious!!!! We already made reservations for our final night in Portugal later this week! The portions aren't huge but the presentation is exquisite, the taste is delicious, and surprisingly, the price does not hurt your wallet at all! Update: So I made a reservation this time and we got the beautiful 2nd floor! Once again, the presentation was exquisite, the food was delightful and made your palate go crazy! Our servers both nights were Carlos and Camilla and they were both phenomenal! Having been in the restaurant business myself for over a decade, I am jealous of the owner for having two amazing servers like these two. And the hostess Sarah is also a delight, she is very warm, welcoming, and she will go the extra mile to ensure that you have an amazing experience! Out of the 15 plus restaurants Ive been to in Portugal, Restaurant 34 is my #1

Incredible food service, great atmosphere as well. Highly, highly recommend for anyone looking for a fantastic meal.
