We had a fantastic dinner! We had the steak that was perfectly cooked, the wrekfish was delicious and the cod was great too. We finished off with a nice dessert. And for this quality it was very fairly priced. The crew is young and very friendly. And itâs a really nice place to sit.

Even though Elemento is in a small village some 5 to 20 KM from popular tourist destinations in the area, we say 'GO'. Proprietor/Assistant Chef/Host, Martina & Chef, Michael, spent 15 years working in restaurants in Czechoslovakia to Aberdeen to Paris before opening Elemento in 2018 and are using all that experience to make Elemento a special dining experience, unlike any other in this area of Portugal.We enjoyed three appetizers. A mushroom terrine was creamy and light. A country pate was robust, yet succulent. Thin slices of Whiting fish were served over a perfectly matched salad. All were delicious. We then enjoyed the fish dish of the evening, Hake, caught that morning, served over a triple-bean ragout and root vegetables. As with the appetizers, the Hake was cooked perfectly, ensuring that its delicate flavors impressed your palate. After all that, we were not shocked that a Panna Cotta was first class and was topped off with a mouth-watering berry sauce. We will be surprised if we have another meal as inventive and delicious on this trip, except when we return to Elemento next week after visiting Porto and the Douro Valley. Chef Michael is very talented.Elemento is small, seating about 24 patrons each evening, so reservations are recommended. Prices reflect the location and are incredibly reasonable. The menu is short; 3 appetizers and 3 entrees. Each evening there is one fish entree, one meat entree and one vegan entree.The wine list is also short, like many restaurants in this area, and (just like other restaurants in this area) features a few of the 300+ grape varieties grown in Portugal that are a mystery to most of us. Thankfully, Martina is very serious about wine and has an educated palate and we enjoyed her selection.We say 'GO' because dining at Elemento will stand out from other restaurants in this area; because Chef Michael is very talented; because Martina is a restaurateur on a mission creating a fine dining experience in the most unlikely of places; and, last but not least, because Michael and Martina's enthusiasm and commitment radiates and brings Elemento to life in a way that belies it humble location. We could only be happier if they had landed near us in Northern California!

Fantastic service, cute interior and excellent food. The fish was served with both fillets, all bones removed and cooked to perfection. Steak was superb. American cheesecake delicious, scrumptious fresh berries on top. Lovely wine! Kay, the head chef and co-owner came to talk to us, fascinating woman with an outstanding approach, wanting to hear any feedback, plus she had a great life story. Highly recommend eating here.
