Paço 100 Pressa

I didn't stay in their accommodation, but this is mainly a restaurant, and it's a shame there's no option to rate the food. I've tried both the Italian restaurant and Paco 100 Pressa Club, hoping the second might be better after the pasta was one of the most boring meals I've had. Neither impressed us. The food was bland, some of it came out cold, and it was definitely overpriced. The location and look are amazing, but the taste and quality of the food don't have much to offer.

Make a reservation if you can, because the tables fill up fast. We came around dinner and had really good food, with nice portions and lots of sides. The Sangria is delicious and worth trying. Staff were very nice and attentive, though a bit disorganized at times. Prices feel a little high for the location, but the portion sizes help balance that out. I'd definitely eat here again.

We had a romantic dinner here one evening, and it was a wonderful experience. Service was excellent, the price was very reasonable, and even the chef came over to say hello. We started with a martini and an Apperol spritz, then shared bruschetta that was fantastic. For mains we had the chef's pizza (Sr Do Carvalho) and another pizza my boyfriend chose. I tried his, but loved mine so much I barely paid attention to it. I'd strongly recommend ordering the same one I had. We each got dessert too, though after the pizzas we couldn't really do them justice. I'd happily return any day. The only thing I'd change is our choice of Portuguese red wine. I would have preferred an Italian one, but that was just our own taste and our decision.

Really good food, and the decor is lovely. The people were very nice, and they had good music too. You can sit inside or outside.
