The food was beautiful. We met the chef who was just lovely and the Head waiter was delightful. Such a lovely experience.

Hello, thank you for your feedback (NO NAME OPENTABLE DINNER FROM MIAMI) and for allowing us to clarify a few points. My name is Isabel and I am the manager of **Herdade 1980**. We would like to mention that we do not manage this application directly. It is simply connected to our reservation system, Cover Manager. Therefore, the photos and all the information available here were not provided by us. Unfortunately, this also means we cannot reply directly to our guests via this platform. To address your review, we found this alternative way to respond. Our restaurant is located inside the **Mercado do Bolhão**, a historic and traditional fresh market in Porto, not in a shopping mall. The restaurant is situated on the third floor of a beautifully restored building that has preserved its history within its walls and won multiple awards for architecture and design. Regarding the "small circular room" you mentioned, it is actually a spacious area with a ceiling height of 7 meters. The restaurant also features a square dining room and an outdoor terrace overlooking the market, with over **200 m²** of indoor space. Our **Frango da Guia with piri-piri** is inspired by the culinary traditions of the Algarve and is one of our most popular dishes. We are sorry if the presentation or preparation did not meet your expectations. It is a rustic dish designed to take our guests on a journey through Portuguese gastronomy, which is our primary goal. On that note, we are proud to share that we ranked in the **TOP 5 of the 2024 Portuguese Tourism AWARDS in the Gastronomic Tourism category**. We would love to welcome you back on your next visit to Porto, where we aim to provide a gastronomic experience that fully represents the rich culinary heritage of Portugal. I would also like to note that the Mercado do Bolhão has four entrances open during the day and two entrances at night, not just one! Thank you for visiting and sharing your experience! Best regards, Isabel Silva

The food and the fado were both outstanding. We enjoyed Katia singing and her personal interaction with the intimate dining crowd. The service was ideal as it permitted the food and entertainment to be equally enjoyable.
