Description
Named after the tradition of roast pig, the kitchen modernizes classic Portuguese dishes without losing their roots. Beyond the daily menu of piri piri chicken, francesinha, and housemade pastéis de nata, groups of 4 to 16 can reserve whole suckling pig dinners with a week's notice. The space features a patio, a full bar serving regional cocktails, and a renovated cellar. Diners point to the fresh clams and octopus salad as standouts, though some note the appetizers can outshine the main courses.
