Signature Dishes

  • Salted Cod Balls

    Dense cod and potato with a clear scallion flavor; fibrous and varied in texture.

  • Portuguese Seafood Rice

    Plenty of broth and seafood; the rice retains a firm center, making it closer to soup rice overall.

  • Grilled Octopus

    Parboiled then oil-cured for a springy, silky texture; it can also come across as soft.

  • Portuguese Pan-Seared Chicken Liver

    When cooked well, it is rich without being heavy; it can also become greasy and dry toward the end.

  • Garlic Shrimp

    The olive-oil garlic aroma is pronounced and the shrimp are peeled and butterflied; execution can vary.
