Antiqvvm () NYE Dinner – Porto

Went to Antiqvvm in Porto with my SO for our NY dinner and it was a great experience. I will keep this post brief:

FOOD:
( the full menu is in the last picture)

Overall great. They introduced us to the dinner with a tuna sashimi in a tartlet which was amazing, a foie gras dish with smoked eel followed. Then the NY menu from the last pic started.
My favourite was the Scallops & Black Truffle, followed by the Turbot and then the pigeon. All other dishes were also really good.

DRINKS:
The wine pairings were appropriate and well done, all wines were local. Started with a nice Madeira, followed with different whites until the pigeon which they paired a nice red. We finished with a Port and then champagne for the NY toast.

SERVICE:
Friendly, warm and welcoming. Accommodated out requests. Kept our reservation even though we were late 40 minutes due to the city closing streets on random due to the festivities and uber cancel our rides for 20 minutes straight.
As part of the NY festivities, they had invited a local Portuguese band/orchestra that played traditional and songs that they made. It was a really nice event.
At 00:00 they had set up fireworks as well.

SETTING:
The restaurant is in a really nice garden and has external sitting which is probably great in the summer. We were seated in the glassed terrace (or however it is called) and had view of the river and city.

PRICING:
The New Year menu was 480 EUR per person without service/tip included.

Cheers and happy new year!
