Editorial Review

Mozart’s bust graces the menu, and Piano Concerto no. 17 soothes the dining room, but the food is pure Portuguese. Caldo verde doesn’t stray from tradition, with a flavourful potato soup floating minced collard greens and a single coin of smoky chouriço. Mains lean toward the sea with such classics as codfish à braz, a beguiling hash of salt cod, onions and potatoes with an egg scrambled in at the last minute. Iberian surf and turf finds chunks of tender pork and three hefty clams braised in white wine, paprika and garlic. The all-Portuguese wine card is priced with conviviality in mind. Amiable service.
