Os Gazeteiros operates exclusively on a nightly tasting menu where Chef David uses whatever is fresh at the market that morning. Each course is a surprise—diners might encounter anything from grilled seafood to vegetables to unexpected proteins. The menu changes completely night-to-night, making the experience different every visit. Multiple reviews note the 'Noma-like' approach to cooking: innovative, sustainable, and ingredient-focused without pretension.
Tips from diners
You have no choice in what you eat—it's whatever Chef David cooked that day. This is the entire philosophy of the place. Come with an open mind and let the market lead the meal.
Book a table by phone (they don't have a website reservation system). Mention any dietary restrictions when you call—they will accommodate allergies and vegetarianism.
The €35 price includes the tasting menu. Wine pairings are extra and cost €25–40 depending on how many glasses. The wine list is curated with natural wines that complement the seasonal menu.
Os Gazeteiros has built a reputation for its natural wine pairings. The wine selection is hand-picked to complement whatever the daily menu happens to be. Reviewers often mention the sommelier's knowledge and the quality of pairings. Wines are sourced from small producers and range from unusual natural varieties to familiar styles.
Tips from diners
The wine pairing is highly recommended. The sommelier knows the menu intimately and chooses wines that enhance each course. This is worth the €25 add-on if you're serious about the full experience.
Opened by French chef David Eyguesier (the name means 'the Truants'—he skipped culinary school), Os Gazeteiros sources ingredients exclusively from the daily market. The kitchen has no freezer or microwave; everything is prepared fresh the moment you arrive. Chef David, trained at Pois Café, changes the four-course tasting menu nightly based on what's available, making each visit unique.
