Gentlemen Restaurante Pizzaria — Restaurant in Resende

Let's be clear - the restaurant comes across as a normal place on the map, it's NOT.

This is fine dining, made accessible for any pocket who's just lucky enough to come here, to find portions that flirt even with the hungriest. And yet, there's a well planned finness and care to every ingredient, making each compete for your tongue's undevoted attention.

This is the place where shrimps remind you how you always hoped shrimps would taste, but only seldomely get; Where the crispy-skin of the Sea Bass is CRISPY AF; and where the risotto is packed with texture and flavour that makes you feel conciously spoilt for being cranky that it's over.

Easily one of my best meals these past 14 days across north of Portugal. I left with only one thought in mind - how and when do...

It's an okay restaurant. I think I did get unlucky for part of the experience.

I arrived there without a reservation and the place was packed. The guy said he'll just put the table so I can sit. The problem is that I wait for 32 minutes.

The food was nice indeed, the problem is they tell me the pasta had no sauce (of course it has). If I knew what sauce was I'd ordered something else.

That said, the place is nice, clean and the people are welcoming. Besides, like I said, the food was good even tho.

There are some expensive and some more affordable dishes.

I would give it a second chance...

A must try if you are in the neighbourhood. Excellent and kind service, excellent food (and big portion) and a warm atmosphere for a very reasonable price - this place has it all. Do note the restaurant is usually packed so reservation is advised but even if you just drop by and need to wait some time it is absolutely worth it. We ordered a soup, an appetiser (Gentlemen’s Mix) and the Veal for 2 pax paired with a local red wine - and had probably one of the best dining experiences in Portugal here. Yes, I’m still dreaming about...
