LM Art Kitchen — Restaurant in Porto

LM Art Kitchen is a culinary masterpiece that tickles both taste buds and funny bones. The ambiance is so chic that even the salt and pepper shakers look like they're ready for a red carpet event. The menu is a work of art – it's like Picasso decided to paint with flavors instead of colors.

The chef must have a black belt in flavor karate because every dish packs a punch. The YOGURT BWOL is so tender; it practically melts in your mouth, leaving you wondering if you just had dinner or a soft jazz serenade. The BAGEL is so perfectly al dente that even nonna would give it a standing ovation.

The waitstaff deserves a comedy special because their timing is impeccable. They whisk away empty plates like they're pulling off a magic trick, and the dessert menu is presented with a flourish that could rival a Broadway finale. I half-expected a drumroll every time a dish arrived.

If laughter is the best medicine, then LM Art Kitchen is the ultimate remedy for hunger and the blues. Just be warned: the food is so good, you might leave with a smile so big it's practically a face workout. So, if you're looking for a meal that's a feast for the senses and a laugh riot for the soul, LM Art Kitchen is the...

On the upside, this is a charmingly narrow restaurant with a garden terrace, complete with camellias, a picturesque water feature, and a massive magnolia tree.

So, picture this: you're seated, you're excited, you're hungry. And then begins the waiting game—it's an epic saga that rivals the length of a European flight or one of those never-ending wedding ceremonies.

First, we settle in at a quaint garden table. Then, after a while, they grace us with menus. Oh, but the fun doesn't stop there. We have to take matters into our own hands and venture inside to ask someone to take our order. After some gentle prodding, our drinks—two of their "specialty" mimosas and a couple of beer bottles—eventually make their grand entrance. And then, after what seems like a lifetime more, our food finally graces our table: two Eggs Benedict with salmon (with hard egg yolks), a salmon toast, and bacon and cheese pancakes.

In fairness, they apologized for the delay, bless their hearts.

But hey, if you're in the market for disappointment and frustration,...

We had seen the LM Art Cafe on instagram and were really looking forward to a visit (it is beautiful). Upon entering my friend commented how beautiful the place looked and we were greeted by a non-enthusiastic waitress (fair enough) anyways, we went to walk towards the garden but misunderstood that you had to walk downstairs (where only the bathrooms are...)

After a bit of a laugh we walked up and a staff member pointed us in the right direction, I stayed a little behind to wash my hands and without knowing I was still there I heard the waitressing commenting on us in Portuguese and then following it with a Jesus christ when having to come down to hand us our menus.

We left immediately without enjoying the place and felt it was a great let down for everyone, as the rest of the staff were extremely sorry about their colleagues behaviour. Such a pity to have that behaviour at...
