TheForkUserThis was our first visit to the restaurant and a great find. It was our wedding anniversary, staff were welcoming , the table was setwith a heart and red petals, we were offered a glass of sparkling wine. We chose the special concept menu, which includes wine served with each course. The food was presented well and the flavours of each dish were excellent. Service was smooth and wine topped up without asking.We had a lovely evening and and thank you to the chef and staff for making it feel so special.

TheForkUserO Calhau de São Jorge is passionate about the food and service. There is a warmth about the place which is borne out in the care and attention to detail in all they do. Having eaten here on several occasions, the food is always excellent and plentiful. The wines come with justified recommendations and are a reasonable price. A very special restaurant in a special location.

Fusion Cuisine

TheForkUserNice restaurant, delicious food, specialty coffee. I highly recommend trying the pistachio tiramisu.We booked a table for lunch, specifically to try the lunch menu advertised at €18 (including starter, main course, drink, and dessert). However, when we arrived at our reserved time (16:30), we were informed that the lunch menu is only available from 12:00 to 15:00. This was not mentioned anywhere on the website, and our reservation time was still marked as “lunch” during booking.From 15:00 to 17:00, only the brunch menu (mainly egg dishes) is available. The manager was helpful and allowed us to order from the evening menu instead. The food was delicious, but the main courses were noticeably more expensive than the lunch menu.Overall, we had a good experience and appreciated the staff’s flexibility, but clearer information about menu availability on the website would be helpful, as we specifically chose this restaurant for the lunch menu and its value.

TheForkUserVery nice restaurant, now with more tables outdoors. Good sushi and good pokebowls. Still too expensive soft drinks (€2.50 for a small can), otherwise good prices. When you order a sushi combo nowadays you get some spring rolls instead of sushi/sashimi pieces, that feels a little wrong. But a great restaurant, highest grade: 10.
