This Portuguese restaurant is located in Hotel Lisboa, which has long been one of the best Portuguese restaurants in town. The setting is very nice, with comfortable seating, spacious tables and good ambiance. We ordered Degustation Menu and as well as a Alvarinho which unfortunately I did not take a photo.Started with some really wonderful bread, the banana bread was very soft and is a perfect match with the banana flavored butter, while the beer sourdough and bread with sausage were all crunch

Started with some really wonderful bread, the banana bread was very soft and is a perfect match with the banana flavored butter, while the beer sourdough and bread with sausage were all crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.
The amuse bouche is an assorted pickles and a pork wrap. The pickles are beautifully marinated without being too sour or salty, while the other is pork shreds wrapped in a chewy spring roll paper. The pork is nicely seasoned but the spring roll paper is a bit too chewy and I could only cut it apart with much effort. But still the course is tasty and appetizing.
The second course is Baked Matsuba Crab Meat in Shell. There was a lot of crab meat stuffed in the shell, with the sauce wonderful in taste, and the chives on top giving a nice look. On the side there is some pomelo with red bell pepper, olive and mango. It served as a small salad which gives refreshing complement to the crab meat and balance the weight of the sauce. A really great dish!
Next is Meat Consumme with Portuguese Ham. The soup is very rich in taste, with each drop offering profound flavors. The Portuguese ham provides a savory note to the soup, and the 'dumpling' giving a bite to the dish, making it wholesome and fulfilling, warming the stomach.
Then comes the Deep-fried Bacalhau with Scrambled Egg and Asparagus. The fish was not overly salted, with a nice texture of firm meat, with a crispy golden brown crust. The scrambled egg complements with nice creaminess and the asparagus is light and fresh too.
The fifth course is Roasted Black Pork with Clams. The clams are quite large and with nice sea brine notes, the pork loin is very tender, with rich and juicy taste. This signature land and sea main dish is a good example of how the two normally separate protein can complement each other and the restaurant had done a good job in proving that.
Dessert is Sericaia with Caramel Ice-cream. Sericaia is a Portuguese style puff with a soft surface and an airy filling, and paired well with the rich and sweet caramel ice-cream, There are also some plum and berries on the side to provide some acidity to balance the sweetness making the dessert a great finale in completing this wonderful meal.The services are also very good, with also a wide selection of wine which is also of very reasonable price. For those who love wine here is a restaurant that you must visit. The bill for the dinner was $2,286 with a bottle of wine. The menu itself was very reasonable at $630 per person only. It is certainly one of my favorite restaurants.
My overall rating is 80/100.
