About Omakase

Harder to find in Braga than it should be, a counter restaurant where the chef narrates every course and the meal doubles as a quiet lesson in Japanese culture. Chef Leandro runs the tasting menu with the kind of attention that turns dinner into something closer to a ceremony — explaining each dish, its tradition, its place in the sequence. The temaki and nigiris draw the most mentions, and the sushi is the sort that makes people reach for comparisons with Japan itself. Reservations are essential, the space is compact, and there is an à la carte area upstairs alongside a sake and pottery shop for those who want to linger. Book the counter, let Leandro talk, and leave the evening free.

Omakase is built for lingering — the coffee is a destination in its own right, and the atmosphere encourages staying for a second.

In the last 90 days, Omakase has drawn 12 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.
