Queens Village Restaurant with Grilled Octopus
Start with a drink at the full bar, then move to the formal dining room for lobster bisque and pasta.
🐙 Portuguese Plates
Walk past the entryway and the room opens into a full bar beside a formal dining area. The kitchen moves from delicate lobster bisque to pasta, varied meat options, and eggplant Parmesan, then rounds things out with desserts.
Grilled octopus is the plate to anchor the table, a clear marker of the Portuguese seafood focus. Starters begin around 18 dollars and mains top out just under 25 dollars, and the bill comes out lower when you pay cash instead of card. The menu has range for different appetites, from lighter seafood plates to lunch classics and fuller meat dishes.
Along Jamaica Avenue in Queens Village, the dining room is open daily from 11 AM to 10 PM. The old fashioned style of service gives the room a personal feel, and a drink at the bar makes an easy first chapter before dinner. Build the meal around seafood, pasta, or meat, then save room for dessert.
