Mira Mira — Restaurant in Vila Nova de Gaia

WOW. Just wow. Mira Mira is not just a Michelin-starred restaurant; it’s a magical culinary experience that left me speechless from start to finish. From the very beginning, I was treated to surprise 'moments' after 'moments,' compliments of the chef. Each unexpected dish was a delightful revelation, making the entire evening feel like a carefully orchestrated journey through taste and emotion.

The team’s dedication to creating a memorable experience is palpable in every detail, from the beautifully presented dishes to the impeccable service.

Now, let’s talk about the food. The meal began with some truly impressive courses, setting a high bar right from the start. Then, mid-way through, the bread arrived—oh my goodness, the bread! It was an unexpected delight, perfectly baked and paired, serving as a delicious interlude that only added to the experience. The spider crab was another standout, with every bite tasting fresh and perfectly balanced. The oyster paired with shredded foie gras was a revelation, a delicate combination of flavours that set the tone for the evening. As someone who doesn’t eat pork, I was thrilled with the beef replacement. It wasn’t just a substitute; it was a masterpiece. Every dish was thoughtful, showcasing the chef's creativity and precision.

The service at Mira Mira was exceptional. The attentiveness of the staff made me feel truly cared for, and every detail was handled with care and professionalism. It’s clear that the team is passionate about what they do, and it shows in...

My wife and I had a reservation here 25/9 and had the absolute best dining experience of our lives, hands down.

Meeting the chef was a fabulous touch that really put our experience over the top. Far and away the best meal we've ever had, and we left feeling absolutely full, which we didn't expect from a tasting menu. They were also extremely attentive and accommodating to our dietary restrictions; individual portions were modified without skipping a beat.

The tasting menu is offered in 4 or 8 courses, and they offer wine pairing at two "tiers" or you can buy glasses/bottles a la carte. For the 4 course menu with the lower tier wine pairing, it cost us €325 with tip. By FAR the most I've ever spent on a meal but this was a honeymoon splurge and it was worth every cent.

We will never forget our meal...
