Easily the best of the six different Michelin star restaurants I've had the opportunity to visit in Portugal so far (including two 2 star ones). Tucked away on a large and quietly remote vineyard, the drive alone coming up to the restaurant makes you feel like you're in a movie driving up to some futuristic building that is stylishly designed and equally minimalistic and luxurious.

The food really shines though here. The balance of flavours, quality and freshness of ingredients (including from the property), creativity in preparation and presentation, pacing, portion sizes... I could find no fault in the entire dining experience. The chefs here clearly excel at their craft, and I personally think the Michelin guide screwed up by not awarding them 2 stars instead of just 1.

Service was attentive without being overbearing, and the servers actually took the time to explain each dish well. It was raining hard when I arrived and the short walk from the parking area to the front door is not covered so I got quite wet, but the staff were waiting to receive me and offered me napkins to help me dry my face and glasses.

This restaurant is definitely worth the drive to get here and felt like it was worth...

Wow. First, the view from the restaurant is stunning. It’s a carpet of vineyards and lavender as far as the eye can see. And the food is, on the main, divine. We did the 6 Moments tasting menu, but it was really more like 10 courses! We LOVED the surprise opening courses featuring Peas, and then Beets. Vegetable perfection. While there were a couple of bites we didn’t care for (the horse mackerel just wasn’t to my taste, or was the cod), the wine pairings presented by our rockstar server Luis were some of the best of my life. Who pours 2018 rosé of touriga nacional? Mesa de Lemos does and it was perfection with an asparagus/smoked eel situation. At about €190 including tip, it was a food and wine adventure well worth it. Pro tip: you can Iber there easily, but arrange for a taxi at the end of the night as Ubers drivers just can’t find the place. Our server was our hero for helping...

Um restaurante que prometia – uma estrela Michelin, um edifício orgânico que se insere diretamente na topografia do terreno, assinado por Carvalho Araújo – e a expectativa legítima de uma viagem sensorial à altura de outros restaurantes, com ou sem estrela, que já antes nos surpreenderam.

Infelizmente, o que nos foi servido foi mais uma caminhada atribulada por um terreno estético do que uma experiência verdadeiramente gastronómica.

Começámos por um momento curioso: somos convidados a limpar as mãos com uma toalhinha gelada (um gesto que sugere atenção ao detalhe), apenas para, momentos depois, sermos confrontados com um prato que suja mãos e mesa, sem que ninguém se digne a intervir. Um pequeno desconforto inicial que, somado a outros, acabaria por marcar a experiência.

A primeira entrada teve como protagonista a ervilha. Várias formas, várias texturas e… mais ervilha. Um conceito que rapidamente se esgotou. A “tempura” consistia numa massa com ervilha por cima, sem qualquer graça ou profundidade de sabor – um início que deixou antever o que aí vinha.

A meio das entradas, fomos brindados com… pão, manteiga e broa. Sem contexto, sem explicação, sem propósito. Um gesto tão deslocado que parecia uma distração em vez de um momento pensado.

A enguia apresentou-se sem brilho, e a harmonização com o vinho foi, no mínimo, infeliz. Um vinho com potencial, completamente anulado por um prato mal conseguido. Seguiu-se um peixe sem alma, acompanhado por um tártaro de camarão que parecia estar ali por engano – uma combinação forçada, pretensiosa e sem qualquer equilíbrio.

Houve, ainda assim, dois pontos altos: o cabrito e o bacalhau. Finalmente, pratos com alguma consistência, técnica e sabor, aproximando-se (ainda que timidamente) do que se espera num restaurante com estrela Michelin. Momentos breves de redenção numa refeição que, no geral, nos deixou apenas à espera que terminasse.

A equipa, embora simpática, revelou alguma falta de polimento e de atenção ao detalhe. Esperava-se um serviço mais atento, mais contido, mais alinhado com a sofisticação do espaço e com a exigência de uma distinção Michelin. O informalismo foi, por vezes, desconcertante – especialmente num ambiente que pretende ser de excelência.

Em suma, o Mesa de Lemos tem tudo para ser extraordinário: localização, estrutura, ambição. Mas falta-lhe coerência, sofisticação e, sobretudo, sabor.

Uma estrela que, neste caso, brilha mais pela envolvente do que pelo que sai da cozinha. E é importante perceber que o facto de um restaurante ter uma estrela Michelin não o torna, automaticamente, num bom restaurante.

Neste caso, uma refeição que rondou os 200€ por pessoa revelou-se...

Excelente, la arquitectura, el entorno, la profesionalidad, y por su puesto el producto, su laboriosa, exquisita y minuciosa elaboración. Un éxito. Un goce para los sentidos. Sin duda merece otra estrella, o más. ⭐⭐⭐
