It starts with Peter — quietly booking a table under another name, ordering too much (always), and paying every bill himself. Then comes the fun part: you. Pull up a chair at the places he loved, order your favourites, and tell everyone what made you smile. Every review is a little thank-you to a kitchen that deserves it — and together we fill Portugal's best tables with happy people.
Pick any restaurant from The 100 or our reviews — and go enjoy it, just like Peter did.
Score it, name the best thing you ordered, and tell it like it was — right under Peter's review, in the community section.

Ranked on published reviews and obrigados — the thank-you hearts readers send when your review helped them pick a table. Season resets every January.
"I used to keep a little notebook of favourite places for friends. Now my notebook has 28 published reviews and strangers send me obrigados from all over Portugal. Same hobby — but now dinner comes with purpose."
"The best part? Watching a tiny tasca you reviewed slowly fill up with people holding their phones with your words on the screen. You genuinely help the good kitchens win."
"It made me explore my own city again. Every weekend a new table from Peter's list, then writing my own take next to his. My friends now just ask: where are we eating, Bia?"

"My fourth visit since 2023 and it keeps getting better. The carabineiro course is the single best thing being cooked in Lisbon right now."
"Sunset on a Tuesday is the local secret — half the crowd, same view. The fig and cheese board is my standing order."
"Drove over from Faro after the review. Worth it — but on Saturday you must book. We watched a dozen walk-ins get turned away."
