I went with a friend, and let me tell you... I had the most amazing ribeye EVER!
But let me start from the beginning.
The place is located in the very heart of old historical Cascais village. Narrow streets and lovely well preserved buildings are...your sights till you get to this gorge restaurant.
The place itself is very cozy, homy and comfy.
The owners greet you at your arrival, and they are the sweetest couple ever. Funny, welcoming, so nice and polite. Dan is the head Chef. Denise, his wife, is an elegant, funny, bright woman!
So we started with this amazing bread freshly made (still steaming!), focaccia and seeds bread! Yummy! With a perfect humus on the side. Usually I don’t touch the bread, but this was so amazing that I even took a pic!
We both asked for the ribeye, as the place is well known for its great cuts of meet. And let me tell you... it was OUT OF THIS WORLD! You know when the food comes and you simply stop talking?... exactly.
You get to choose your sides. I had the most amazing sautéed fresh veggies and a salad. My friend had sautéed pasta. I didn’t taste it, but by his face I could see it must have been divine.
The restaurant has a wide range of noble cuts, as well as fresh cod, which I will try on my next visit.
We skipped desert, as the meat got us pretty comfy.
But I have my mind set on a papaya pudding I saw on the list.
Next time...More
