Editorial Review

Simple homemade Portuguese fare is the specialty at this casual churrasco house, which is filled with warm, smoky scents from the open grill running down the entire side of the restaurant. Chicken, chorizo and fish are cooked over the charcoal grill, along with sardines doused with sea salt and lemon. Customers love the place for its grilled chicken with piri piri sauce, and for traditional bifana sandwiches, made with pork, steak or chicken and topped with onions, sweet pepper, hot pepper and mushrooms. Mains $6–$22.
