Inventive Portuguese small plates with personable service in a stylish setting; creative flavors shine, but portions run small and pricing can feel steep.
Restaurant Summary
Across from the Parliament, the room feels warm and stylish with an open kitchen that sets a lively tone. Service is often personable and guiding, with staff steering guests through wines and plates. One diner put it simply: "The food felt balanced and memorable from start to finish." The cooking leans contemporary Portuguese with playful fusion touches—think miso butter on excellent bread, seaweed accents with Azores tuna, and a crisp, tender piglet plate. Portions skew small and sharable, so plan for multiple dishes. When the kitchen is on, flavors are deft; a few reports mention over-salt or pacing, but most meals land confidently. Families should note the menu favors adventurous palates. While green beans in tempura, fries, and the bitoque are friendly options, several plates include spice, smoke, or acidity that kids may not love, and there is no kids menu mentioned.
