A fun dinner experience with pretty good dishes. I am only giving 4 stars for the food because it was to much seafood, one of the meat dishes had chicken, a bit disappointed, but the rest was overall good. We felt that we could skip the burger and fries as well.
Their blind experience was pretty fun and different.
The service was pretty good, but we felt the dinner was a bit on the long side.
I would recommend if you want a romantic dinner with a different take on the tasting menu.

Deserves 4.25 stars. The Atmosphere, Service/Staff, and presentation of the food was all exceptional. Truly a beautiful dining experience. The flavor ranged from good to excellent depending on the dish (we did 12 tastings). The additional programming to help trigger senses was cute and a fun change of pace to a typical meal, but I don't think it had a meaningful impact on the overall dining experience.

Here's why 4 (4.25) and not 5 stars. (1) Our tastings were very seafood heavy (half of the tastings). We like seafood, but that much of it left us both with a rather fishy aftertaste in our mouths that lingered into the following dishes and was difficult to cleanse. Portugal is obviously known for its seafood, but a slightly more balanced approach to the 12 'moments' would've done the overall meal and menu more justice - in our opinion (maybe 2 random, 4 seafood, 4 non seafood and 2 dessert). (2) The portions were a bit large (I know how ridiculous it is for someone to complain about that but hear me out), we did go with the 12 moments (FYI 10 is plenty for most people), so we set ourselves up to be full by the end, but we were both full by the 6th moment which made it difficult to really enjoy the second half of the meal. The second moment was a delicious bread dish but the bread portion was half a small loaf per person when half a big roll per person would've been sufficient. And (3), as mentioned already, the food ranged from good to excellent and I'd say the average dish was very good but at this price point I'd expect a slightly better average. It's also difficult to judge them fairly when there are so many exceptional restaurants in Porto that are far more affordable with comparable food flavors but don't match the experience.

IF you're looking for a first class and unique dining experience, this is a great option. If you're mostly interested in great flavor at a reasonable price, this will probably leave you feeling dissatisfied because it is quite expensive...but if you're spending your money with the experience as a primary driver of your investment, it's worth it.

We had an exceptional dining experience at Blind in Porto. My husband and I enjoyed the 10 Moments menu with wine pairing, and every dish was a delightful journey of flavors. The service provided by Pedro, Yuri, and Wagner was outstanding—attentive, professional, and friendly. It was a fun meal full of surprises, which I won’t share because you need to experience them for yourself! Each course was beautifully presented, and the wine pairings were spot on. It was truly a memorable evening, and we highly recommend Blind for a unique culinary experience in Porto.

My boyfriend and I went to Blind for a birthday celebration and it didn't disappoint. The service was exceptional and the experience as a whole was very well done. We had the 10 course testing menu and the food was deliscious and inventive, one was no-meat and they accommodated really well. The only thing I'll say is that we wanted the 12 course, but due to having one restricted to no meat, this wasn't possible. However, we were so full after 10 courses, it wasn't a problem at all. I would really recommend going if you have a special occasion or just feel like treating yourself. I think it is well priced for what you get. The decor is also beautiful inside and out, the courtyard entrance and mini swimming pool is really cute.

What an amazing experience this was. My daughter and cousin took me here for my birthday dinner. They made my experience so extraordinary. From the service to the food, everything was amazing. The restaurant is so beautiful too. The only problem we had was this probably American couple and they were having an argument pretty loudly. But other than that I can’t complain at all. I would highly recommend this place if you are visiting Porto. For a special occasion, it is top notch. 🥰🥰
