The food was definitely delicious. With all the dressing, creamy sauce and fatty meat, it turned out a bit heavy at the end. I’d recommend to balance the dishes and order some light and refreshing appetizers. My favorite dishes are the pork ribs, baby lamb ribs and burrata salad.

This is a very nice restaurant to enjoy authentic Portuguese food. Authentic doesn’t mean it is for everyone. But I really like the tiger shrimp and the dessert. Service is good and warm. The sandwich is a little bit too much for me haha overall really worth the time to go down for a nice meal

Made reservations for brunch this past weekend and dined here with some out of town friends. It was actually my second time here, but this past summer I was in Portugal and I had a much deeper appreciation of the food this go around. We ordered the roasted beet salad to share amongst 4 people, and it was a good serving. Super fresh and bright. We also ordered the francesinha (which comes with a side of fries) and camarao ao Alho (shrimp in garlic and bourbon sauce). The francesinha was pretty heavy and too salty for my taste, but everything else was delicious. The shrimp came with a generous portion of baguette for dipping which made me so happy! We had discovered vino verde on this recent trip to Caiscais, so also had some with brunch, naturally. Although we were so full, we shared pasteis de nata for dessert. We had great service and everyone was very attentive and allowed us to slowly enjoy our food and conversation. We were seated outside, which was nice and the space heaters were very toasty!

the overall experience was excellent - very yum food with every dish we had! i usually don’t like soupy rice dishes but this one was so good! enjoyed the soup. a lot of rice at the bottom makes the portion seem smaller than it actually is. cannot go wrong with the prawns and octopus either. the egg tarts were very thic and perfectly creamy with cinnamon hints. the atmosphere was very intimate too. the experience makes me want to visit Portugal again for its cuisine that is so unique.

I do not have enough expertise in Portugese food to comment on whether it’s super authentic, but @leitaonyc definitely has yummy food! The portions are quite big so it’s good to share as a group. This was still a lot for the 3 of us.

The seafood with rice was seasoned well and made me feel like I was in Europe! The sandwich was delicious and special but very heavy so I could only have a few bites. There are so many options and any meat or seafood lover would enjoy it there!
