Ti'Ascenção — Restaurant in Caldas da Rainha

What defines a place to be a good restaurant? Of course firstly the food. Here you can actually chose anything and you won't be disappointed. Delicious tastes I've never felt before due to the short menu so they serve their best of the best. Even the cheesecake was a completely new universe. Secondly the waiter's attitude was so friendly. It seemed he loves his job hence I felt very calm as I'm in good hands. Also felt like to pay the tip is not a question. The other thing was the music I loved so much. Lot of people don't care but for me the experience was full due to the good music. Last but not least it's a bit hidden and very small place but because of that it's cozy and has it's own atmosphere. All in all I would say the motto could be: less is sometimes more than you...

The Asparagus soup is a must. It was divine, I actually lost myself in the flavours and music in a way that can only be described as transcendent. The Azores Tuna was cooked PERFECTLY. I did not Chew a single bite, it melts on the tongue and fills the soul with bliss. The Chickpea Purée was flavourful and vibrant. I will be returning to try the Lunch Menu ( Daily Special 4 course meals + Café for only 8.50 Euro) Dinner was a little pricey for Lisbon, but the quality of meal as well as the most friendly well spoken Server from Brazil he, as is the entire restaurant, are charming, warm, inviting and made me an instant repeat customer. Thank you for one of the best dining experiences I have had...

Delicious food and excellent service made for a perfect time with friends. We made a reservation and were there on a weekday afternoon so it wasn't over crowded . A smaller restaurant, so probably a good idea to reserve on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Parking was a bit of a hunt, but by far not the worst we have experienced. Just allow for it. We found a spot a few minutes walk from the restaurant. I like an uncluttered table when it comes to room. The service was spot on with this, and also everything we asked for was delivered. No asking for anything twice. A great experience 10 10 will...
