About
Alma d'Eça aimed, from the very beginning, to be a differentiated project. This differentiation, actually, rests on several dimensions. In this logic, we advanced to the choice, reconversion and requalification, signed by Architect Nuno Capela, of a building of great nobility, next to the Santa Bárbara Garden, the most emblematic Garden of Braga, right in the heart of the city. We also wanted, and still want, to be different, to be exquisite in terms of our cuisine, of our gastronomic offer. Here, and on behalf of a proposal from our "Chefs", César Veloso and Adriano Peixoto, we seek to create a versatile, modern and creative cuisine, where you can taste both excellent sushi, as well as succulent meats, delicious pastas and risottos, fresh salads, among many other things. All this in a very friendly and cosy environment, where we hope you'll feel like home.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The staff was extremely friendly, knowledgable and helpful, and the sushi was presented in small, beautifully decorated and appetising pieces in accordance with international sushi standards (so the waiter told us). This made a huge difference to me, as I don't like sushi being served in too-large pieces that are difficult to eat. The fish was fresh and delicious, making it the best sushi in Portugal that I have tasted (better than in Lisbon and Sesimbra, which is surprising since Braga is not a coastal city. They also have a Mediterranean menu, both with fish and meat. As a Norwegian sushi-lover, I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely go back.

My wife and I were celebrating tonight and we were looking for a special place for dinner. We certainly found it in Alma d'Eca! We made reservations for 7:30 and arrived 15 minutes before the evening opening and were offered their sofas while we waited. Alvin greeted us warmly and gave us our choice of seating. He made sure we were comfortable and explained the menu to us. He answered all our questions without hurrying us. We ordered the Shrimp tempura as an appetizer. My wife ordered the soft- shell crab roll 4pc and the California roll 4 pc. I ordered the 14 pc Soft freestyle sushi and sashimi plate (chef choice). We also ordered a pitcher of sangria. The tempura came out in under 5 minutes and it was FANTASTIC! I would not normally gush over shrimp tempura, but they were crunchy on the outside and moist, tender on the inside. The outside was coated with whole sliced almonds with just enough batter to hold them on. The flavor combination created the best shrimp tempura we have ever had. The house made sweet chili sauce was a perfect complement. Our entree's arrival was timed perfectly after our appetizer. The preparation of the sushi and sashimi was fresh and creative. The final result was flavorful and delicious. We were presented with a complementary Tuna ball dish with shaved tuna and cream topping, a creative and delicious addition to the meal We finished the evening sharing a Tartele de Cappuccino, consisting of a cappuccino flavored ganache-style filling, fresh whipped cream piped on top, held by a pressed cookie crust, all topped with powdered cocoa. All the above was accentuated by warm, friendly, and attentive service that is rarely experienced these days. This was a perfect 5 star experience from start to finish! Thank you, Alvin! We will return!

This place is a must when you are in Braga. A combination of Japanese and Mediterranean food this restaurant is of tremendous quality and value. However, the head waiter Jorge took an already fantastic place turned it into a tremendous event. Singular service! Try the Aguardente!

I wasn't sure about this place when we entered. I thought most people were there for the sushi, but it was also evident that many were here for the Portuguese side of the menu. I was delighted that I had the opportunity to experience both and I wasn't disappointed. We kept it simple with the sushi, but both the nigiri and sashimi were fresh and well presented. We also snuck in a few oysters and some samosas which I had to try knowing this was not an Indian restaurant. Both were good choices. Satisfied with our sushi "fix" we went on to a great sea bass with asparagus risotto and the octopus. The three chocolate mousse and a plate of fresh fruit were a nice finish. Service was warm and the people at the next table were both friendly and helpful. They asked for extra bread when they saw us devouring what we were served. I later found out from our waiter that it was the owner and his family
