A Quelha - Adega Regional — Restaurant in Amarante

Nice setting, food average at best, service mixed. Wine was actually very close to the supermarket price which I respect & it was nice. Do I understand the ‘amazing’ reviews, no. Did the service ruin the experience? For sure..... Would I come back, no. I’m a foodie to be fair, from London but I’m not oblivious to decent food & good service. To be honest service at the end did improve but the welcoming, ‘how are you, can I help,didn’t materialise’. Am I bored to death being here? Definitely.... Shame. Starters were in the wine menu that we had no idea about until we left. Food...

Avoid this restaurant. It is a nice and very busy restaurant. The owner ( I guess) speaks a fluent french but you are really seen as tourist. We paid a very expensive bill for 2 dishes. It is clearly out of Portuguese price range and it is not a fancy place. We went there because it was recommended by a local person but the restaurant clearly treated us badly. I hope at least the very expensive price they charged us will go to employees not to the owner only. Please avoid if you are not...

Plusieurs raisons à cette note : 1/ alors que sur chaque table il y a mis un carton « réservé », lorsque vous téléphonez pour réserver il nous ait répondu qu’il n’y a pas de réservation possible, les premiers arrivés sont les premiers servis…. Si ce n’est pas nous prendre pour des imbéciles qu’est-ce que c’est ? 2/ ne prennent aucune carte bancaire, que de l’espèce….. si ce n’est pas voler le pays ça qu’est ce que c’est ? 3/ nous avons tenté de faire décrocher un sourire au serveur, peine perdue….. et quant au patron alors là je vous souhaite du courage !!! 4/ assiette bien moins généreuse que ce que nous pouvons connaître au Portugal. Très très déçue, à éviter ++++ y’a tellement d’autres restaurants qui méritent que nous y mangions.

Várias razões para esta nota: 1/ enquanto em cada mesa havia um cartão “reservado”, quando telefonámos para reservar, responderam-nos que não era possível fazer reservas, que era “primeiro a chegar, primeiro a ser servido”…. Se isto não é tomar-nos por tolos, então o que é? 2/ não aceitam nenhum cartão bancário, apenas dinheiro… se isto não é roubar o país, o que é? 3/ tentámos arrancar um sorriso ao empregado, mas em vão… e quanto ao patrão, desejo-vos boa sorte!!! 4/ prato muito menos generoso do que aquilo a que estamos habituados em Portugal.

Muito, muito dececionada, a evitar ++++ há tantos outros restaurantes que merecem...
