📸 My Life-Changing Meal at Casa de Chá da Boa Nova 🇵🇹
The Journey to Culinary Paradise Porto has three Michelin-starred restaurants, and we chose the one with the most breathtaking views 🌊 Located a short drive from downtown (or a 20-minute taxi ride for non-drivers), this hidden gem sits right on the cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean 🏝️ The Seafood Odyssey (6/12/21 Course Options) Their nautical-themed menu features exclusively seafood 🦞 We ambitiously chose the 21-course tasting menu (BIG MISTAKE 😅) - turns out we severely overestimated our seafood capacity! By the end, we were literally sick of seafood and had to grab a suckling pig dinner later that night 😂😂 Pro Tips: 12 courses are perfectly sufficient (we regretted the 21-course choice) Tell your server about your favorites - they'll customize your menu A la carte is available but much pricier Price Breakdown: 6 courses: €135 12 courses: €175 21 courses: €215 Service charge is optional Deadline Alert: 21-course lunch must be finished by 13:30 (we took until 16:30 - they need prep time for dinner!) Booking & Service The reservation process is delightfully old-school - only email 📧, but they respond super quickly. The service was impeccable Michelin standard: Flawless table service 🍽️ Perfect plate clearing timing 👌 Interactive games during the meal (so fun!) 🎲 Kitchen tour before dessert 🍳 Complimentary port wine 🍷 Tea cart selection after meals 🍵 The Wow Moments Cliffside Views: Tables face the ocean and dramatic cliffs ☀️ (Windows lower on nice days for al fresco dining!) Perfect Photo Op: Captured the most Instagrammable back view ever 📸 Value Discovery: Eating Michelin in Europe is so much cheaper than in the UK 😝 #PortugueseFineDining #CliffsideRestaurant #MichelinExperience #PortoFoodie #SeafoodOverload #TravelPhotography #HiddenGem #EuropeanCuisine #WinePairing #DiningWithAView #FoodieAdventures
