My cousin recommended one of her favorite Portuguese restaurant so we went there on a Tuesday night, and it turned out to be an amazing night. The food was splendid. Five of us have ordered a few small dishes and main courses. Garlic Octopus with chilli, Vinho Verde, extra virgin olive oil & corianderThe octopus was extremely fresh and soft but with a firm texture.

Garlic Octopus with chilli, Vinho Verde, extra virgin olive oil & coriander
The octopus was extremely fresh and soft but with a firm texture. We were greeted with an aromatic combination of olive oil and garlic. As a non-garlic lover, I was surprised that the garlic was the most impressive and critical ingredient in this dish. I could not believe that garlic can be so creamy and yet not pungent. I ended up finishing all the garlics by myself. This dish was a very nice appetizer.
Clams Casa Lisboa, tomato, onion, garlic, chilli & coriander
As named after this restaurant, this dish was no way disappointing. Clams were fresh and clean, with a hint of seawater. The sauce was added with tomato and onion, mading it organically savory and appetizing. I highly recommend a piece of bread dipped in this sauce.
Codfish cakes with parsley & garlic mayonnaise
The Codfish cakes were crispy and creamy with a balanced flavor. It didn't taste oily at all. The mayonnaise sauce was a nice touch and matched with the fried codfish well.
Portuguese brown crab “Sapateira” marinated and stuffed (Cold)
Together with crispy bread, this dish was unbeatable. The cold and creamy Sapateira contained sweet crabmeat mixed with mayonnaise and other excellent ingredient, creating a complex and rich flavor. The crispiness brought out the interesting side of this dish, enriching the mouthfeel.
Duck rice Lisboa style with chorizo and slow roasted pork belly
The duck meat was shredded and hidden inside the rice. It was not like the traditional duck meat which is salty. The meat juice came out from the duck and went into the rice which created a dense taste. The chorizo and pork belly were also outstanding and tangy. This dish, surprisingly, resembled the taste of Casserole Rice in Hong Kong, but with an addition of exotic impression.
Slow cook A3 beef cheek with sweet potatoes “Migas”
Slow cook beef is always delicious, so as this dish. The meat was absolutely juicy and soft. The beef taste was strong and unforgettable. The minced sweet potatoes were an accidental delight. Such special sweetness was a very good alternative to other side dishes for steaks.
Classic Portuguese lobster & seafood juicy rice
This main course was our last and also the best one. Unlike risotto, this dish was offered with plenty of sauce. The sauce was made from the essence of lobster head, and later cooked with various kinds of seafood such as lobster meat, clams, shrimps and mussels. This tasted like lobster soup but with a richer flavor. The mouthfeel was so delicate that we couldn’t stop eating. We would definitely want to order another one if our stomachs were not too full. A highly recommended dish.
Pineapple, vanilla ice-cream & pistachio sponge raviolis
Finally, we were told that the desserts here are also worth trying, so we ordered 2 desserts. The first one was Pineapple, vanilla ice-cream & pistachio sponge raviolis. The pineapple were very fine-sliced that it melted in you mouth directly. It was sour and sweet. The raviolis were made for one bite so I would suggest eating it in such way.
Port Wine drunken pear with cheesecake texture
This is a classic dessert as well. The wine was fully absorbed by the pear and the dish was well flavored. It was slightly sweet and fresh. A well made dessert.
Overall, the restaurant got a very fine dining atmosphere. The food was perfect. Also, the cook, and manager and the owner in this restaurant were very nice and asked us about the food. It was amazing to dine there. Will definitely go again.
