Restaurant review: À Mesa: A Romantic Michelin Gem with in Tavira
Tucked away in the picturesque historic center of Tavira, À Mesa is a culinary treasure that promises not only exquisite food but also fantastic service.
À Mesa, situated next to the beautiful 17th-century São Paulo church, boasts a tastefully decorated dining room with stone walls and a unique glass floor that offers a peek into the wine cellar, a nod to the property's rich history. The menu, curated by Chef Luís Brito, with the support of Chef João Paulo, offers a range of options.
You can choose from à la carte dishes with mains ranging from €16.70 to €29.70 or opt for one of their two exceptional 6-course tasting menus, priced at €75 for the vegan tasting menu option and €95 for the regular one.
During the summer months, À Mesa's expansive and luxurious terrace comes to life, providing an ideal setting for a romantic dining experience.
The attentive and very friendly staff at À Mesa, Willian Ferreira and Raquel Meyer, contribute to the warm and cozy atmosphere, making your visit truly memorable.
Notably, the restaurant also offers excellent gluten-free options. Don't miss trying their delectable bread – it's a true delight! Pair your meal with some of the finest Portuguese wines available.
À Mesa undoubtedly occupies a special place on Tavira's culinary map. They serve precisely executed, beautifully presented dishes in a delightful setting. It's a testament to their commitment to providing an exceptional dining experience.
One Minor Drawback: In the winter months, it can get a bit chilly inside the restaurant, especially when the front door opens and closes frequently. Unfortunately, there's no draft lobby to mitigate this issue.
In conclusion, À Mesa is more than just a restaurant; it's an experience that combines gastronomic excellence with a romantic ambiance, all set in the heart of Tavira's historic center.
It's no wonder it's considered the best restaurant in Tavira by many.
