This rooftop restaurant is a romantic oasis on top of a luxurious high end mall. We had a choice of inside or outdoor seating. It was a little windy so we sat inside. The lighting makes everyone beautiful. The tables are not too close. The decor is warm and inviting. They had a menu in English.
When we sat down, they brought three small bowls - one of almonds, one of olives, and an empty bowl for the olive pits. Nice touch!
I was told the thing to get here is the Codfish and several dishes are prepared like in Portugal. Four cod main dishes looked good but I had had a late lunch was planning to eat lighter, two appetizers versus an appetizer and a main dish. It would have been hard to decide.
For our appetizer, we spilt the grilled sardines which were four to an order and delicious. They were grilled whole with the heads on. They instantly transported me back to Portugal. They we're fresh and served whole with the heads on. So good!!!
For my main I got another appetizer - the octopus
My friend got the cod with olive oil and pepper.
The octopus was like butter. OMG. I waould order this again and again. This was the best dish of the trip. And, by the way, that appetizer was enough for a dinner!!
The cod was also delicious. It was flaky in olive oil with garlic and rosemary. They portion was enough for a dinner.
Service was impeccable. We ate very leisurely while we talked and were left alone yet taken care of in terms of liquids (wine and water).
OMG - they have dental floss in the bathroom. I was in heaven for that detail!!!
We ordered an Aperol spritz to take outside and enjoy the view which extends past the restaurant.
This restaurant is a must do! read more
