A restaurant located in industrial area of Marvila. Restaurant ENTRA serves amazing food, in a very relax space with an exquisite service.
It's true that the area is not the best... but I don't care! I only care about the food that they served... and they served us consistent food through the entire meal.
Even with the complete restaurant booked... you don't see the staff run over each other.

Regarding the food...
We choose the menu called "Mesa Posta" (which is a tasting menu - starters, meat, fish and desserts)
Before the starters they served us the classic couvert, but instead of the traditional olives it comes with this amazing black olives pasta...
The starters:
-Puff pastry with cheese and vegetables
-Puff pastry with shitake mushrooms
-Meatball with cauliflower puree
-Puff pastry with sausage
All the starters were amazing and they all could be served as main dishes, but my favorites were the puff pastry with sausage and the puff pastry with cheese and vegetables
Next came the fish... Muja from Azores with sautéed potatoes and butter sauce. A simple dish very well made, but who went a little bit unnoticed in the meal, maybe because the meat dish was much more strong and outstanding. But it doesn't mean that it was an inferior dish... I'm a fish lover and I would order this dish any time.
For the meat dish the chef choose veal with a mushroom risotto and asparagus. Thjs dish was, for me, the best of the night. the meat was perfectly cooked (and passed on my meat test... if a waiter doesn't ask you how you want the meat it should come mid-raw), the risotto was really well made and the asparagus gave the "green" touch to the plate.
The dessert... we ate a brownie with vanilla ice-cream and a almond mousse. The brownie was a little bit dry... but the mousse was divine, to died for, I wouldn't mind if the dessert were just a bowl with that mousse.
I hope to return one day.
