Hi FConceicao,
Thanks for this very nice report.
I never flown TAP, but it's seems to be quite acceptable.
What about the catering ?
See you,

Hi Mathieu
Thank you very much for you comment.
I think TAP Portugal meals are one of the best! Not only the presentation but also the taste of the food. You could check there:
