Description

This restaurant is situated in Marvão, a village at the highest point of the Serra de São Mamede, just a few kilometres from the Spanish border. It occupies a small house that has been completely remodelled by Diogo Branco, a chef from Porto, and Daniel Boto, a native of this region. The concise à la carte here changes constantly according to the seasons and availability from local producers. Three main dishes are always available: one vegetarian, one meat, and one fish or seafood.
