Being subjective at the same time that you are objective is what is needed in assessing restaurants. It's the feel good factor, the total package, does the restaurant give you a lift, is it a place to escape to? In some cases it's that true gourmet experience in others it's just a fantastic experience the 'buzz' the 'crack' that makes it special.
Here are just a few that we highly recommend;

 One of the best kept secrets (up until now !!!***) is the Hurn 'Luncheon Club/Club Restaurant' - A fantastic gourmet indulgent happening, the buzz, the crack, the people, the one to one that makes it special!
Where can you sit with people that have an interest, a passion for good food, you may have known for a couple of hours, a few days, or even met before! You talk about good food, having been involved in the preparation of - maybe the sauces, the bread etc. Well, this is the lunch served at the end of the morning's master class/workshop at 'The Artisan Food Centre Of Excellence', Hurn, it may take an hour or two, or three or four following the morning's efforts. The Grand Master eats with you discussing all aspects of the lunch: the wine and food in general. Sometimes he has been known to comment on French Rugby, however such comments are usually ignored focussing back on food!
To book for this fantastic 'Lunch with the Chef', all that you have to do is attend one of his famous artisan food preparation courses/workshops, (cost of the lunch is included in the cost of the workshop) - see website for details. |

 This one is a little cracker, the buzz, the food, the wines - the overall package does not come much better.
Located just two minutes from Poole Quay, patron chef Frederic with front of house partner Severine have put together a restaurant "to go for" - such a friendly atmosphere makes a visit, even on the dullest of days, uplifting - it's just fantastic!
A good family restaurant which is proud of its house specialities of locally landed fresh fish, crab and lobster etc, their Bouillabaisse is second to none! As with the meat and vegetarian dishes and home-made desserts, they have mastered their craft and, of course, their "plat du jour"
A good selection of fine wines, traditional well-kept real ales, plus chilled lagers are available.
Food served from midday until 2.30pm and from 6.30 until 9.30pm (closed Mondays except Bank Holidays).

Andre Magalhaes's notorious restaurant has the lot except the vista. It offers the finest culinary experiences along with the chit- chat of the great and the good. Whilst being served extremely good food you can catch up on the latest on the righteous and may be not so righteous. The 'buzz' the 'crack' is an experience, but do not underestimate the capability of Andre's team in feeding you 'intellectual fodder' but also the most excellent food! A must, must - when in Lisbon.
