We started with the Codfish Fritters and we all loved the Garlic Ancho Steak Picanha Beef (comes with rice, beans, potato mayonnaise, vinaigrette, and cassava). For drinks, we had a passion fruit juice and a Lagunitas. Can either walk through the market first to get to the restaurant or use the side door. Such a hidden gem, can't wait to come back

Bolinhos de bacalhau (bolinhos de batata )

Os bolinhos de bacalhau estavam péssimos, basicamente são bolos de batata com 1 fiapinho de bacalhau, gordurosos, e moles. I know that bacalhau is expensive, so charge the price of a good product, not cheating with potatos.

Been a while since I've been there definitely changed ,, chopped up into bite-size pieces on a bread roll half a jar of mayonnaise, small tomato, onions, and Costco lettuce 1695 and some fries .

Chicken Parmesan

The restaurant was remodeled and use to be Bacalhau Grill. It looks beautiful and the market with all the traditional food and ingredients and wine is located on the other side of the wall. The staff are kind and helpful. We decided to come with our family to dinner. The steak platter, steak sandwich and the chicken fingers with the French fries and chicken Parmesan and Bacalhau Gomes Sa were very good. Unfortunately the other dishes needed some help. The pork sandwich was soggy and the marinade was not tasty and pieces of pork were disappointing. It was not the traditional Acorian food. The other steak platter my family found to be chewy. And none of the salads came with dressing and they didn't give us any options. When we asked for Ranch we got Cesar dressing 2 times. Some water glass we were provide were dirty 2 times. We had a reservation but they seemed very unprepared for us and there were only 2 other tables seated. It was unfortunate.

Picanha Tradicional
Carla L.

As a Brazilian, I was looking forward to my meal but I found the meat to be very tough which is not typical of the picanha. The side dishes were tasty. For dessert, I tried the Romeo and Juliet which was well balanced and not very rich. The staff was friendly and there are a lot of options for dishes and sandwiches and other Brazilian street foods which make this a great stop. Next door there is a mini grocery store that sells a lot of Brazilian and Portuguese products. I left at the time when a musician was setting up but it's nice that they are beginning to provide entertainment as well. Lastly, there are several TVs in the restaurant inside and it's very dark. I think customers would be happier with less TVs and more natural lighting. The outside area is pretty but it wasn't set up for sitting. I would love to see the quality of the meat improve so this can become one of my favorite spots.

Carrot cake with brigadeiro

Amazing place!! Definitely scratches the itch to eat Brazilian food. The pizzas were fantastic, the service was excellent, and the new owner, Nicholas, was extremely kind. We took the food to go, but restaurant looks really good. Excited to go back and sit down with the family!

Não sou muito de escrever avaliações, mas durante uma visita a San José encontramos este restaurante pela internet e tivemos uma experiência simplesmente maravilhosa. Gostaria de agradecer e parabenizar o Márcio e a Jacqueline pelo atendimento impecável, pela simpatia e pela comida excelente, preparada com muito cuidado e sabor. A experiência foi tão positiva que, depois da refeição, ainda aproveitamos para fazer algumas compras no mercado. Sem dúvida, um lugar que recomendamos e ao qual esperamos voltar.

Great food, great Vibe, great ambiance, great service!   Definitely recommend this place!

I knew this place as Bacalhau Grill a while back. It seems they serve the same brazilian and portuguese dishes under this new name. The menu indicates that most items take 15-20 minutes. But my takeout order was ready in no more than 10 minutes, on a slow Monday of course. I ordered the codfish with cream, a truly addicting dish. The taste has not changed, super creamy and buttery, and strangely more affordable than before. It even came with a small side salad. There are a couple things that have changed though. The menus are in English, which makes it so much easier to order. Also, the restaurant is open later, so I can actually grab dinner at dinnertime now (Bacalhau Grill used to close at 4pm). Woohoo! This 5-star review is mainly for the delicious codfish with cream (aka bacalhau de natas) and stress-free takeout experience.

Cochinha,
Daniel I.

Absolutely terrible. The food little was served was either cold or greasy. Service was equally disappointing--slow and rude. I've had better meals from gas stations. Save your money and go anywhere else.

The server was nice, but there was only one for the entire restaurant. She took orders and made drinks. When we were finished with our meal the one server was taking the orders for the table of ten. By the time she took the orders and entered it in the computer, it had been about 30 minutes. She asked if we wanted dessert and I said no because I was just tired of waiting. So we asked for our check. They use one of those little handheld devices to pay at the table (which was great!) but we had to wait for her to make more drinks first. The food was decent but way too salty. Almost every dish was so salty I almost couldn't eat it. The octopus was cooked ok but quite bland. The duck rice was probably my favorite. The dishes got cold really fast sitting under the A/C, which probably didn't help. The drinks were pretty good. I'm honestly shocked that this has Bib Gourmand status and from the same owners as Adega. Maybe it's a different experience on the weekend when it's busier. Honestly, if they didn't want to hire more than one server/bartender they should just close. The lack of people working didn't help their reputation in my mind and I don't know if I'd ever go back. For the price I expected a lot more from the reputation.

My experience with Bacalhau Grill was extremely disappointing and frustrating…read more Before placing my order, I called multiple times because I have significant food allergies and needed to verify ingredients and preparation methods. Asking questions about allergens is not a matter of preference--it's a matter of safety. During these calls, I experienced repeated hang-ups while simply trying to get information about whether the restaurant could accommodate my allergies. Eventually, I was assured that my meal could be prepared without the ingredients I am allergic to, so I felt comfortable enough to place and pay for an order. Unfortunately, that was where the problems only got worse. After placing the order, I waited more than an hour and a half. During that time, I repeatedly attempted to contact the restaurant for updates and clarification. Instead of receiving assistance, my calls were repeatedly ignored or disconnected. It felt as though the restaurant was actively refusing to communicate after taking my payment. The most upsetting part of the experience was that after assuring me they could accommodate my allergies and accepting my money, I never received the level of communication or service that any customer should reasonably expect. When someone has food allergies, clear communication is essential. Being unable to get answers about an order involving allergens is stressful and unacceptable. What should have been a straightforward transaction turned into an exhausting experience filled with confusion, unanswered questions, and a complete lack of customer service. I spent considerable time trying to reach someone, waiting for an order, and attempting to resolve the situation, only to be met with silence and disconnected calls. I understand that restaurants get busy and mistakes can happen. However, repeatedly hanging up on a customer, failing to communicate after taking payment, and leaving someone waiting for over an hour and a half without meaningful updates is not acceptable. Customers deserve honesty, respect, and basic communication--especially when food allergies are involved. This was one of the most frustrating restaurant experiences I have had, and unfortunately I cannot recommend Bacalhau Grill based on the way this situation was handled.

I've enjoyed every visit, but this evening made me want to become a regular. The owner helped us choose our dishes, and his recommendations were perfect. We savored everything: the wine, cod, pulpo, langoustine, potatoes, shrimp, sausage, spare ribs, and bread. Every dish was delicious, and every sauce made us want one more bite. What makes La Catalana special is the whole experience. The setting is beautiful and intimate, the live music adds so much, and everyone made us feel welcome. There's a warmth to the room that seems to spread from table to table. We even felt a connection with other guests. It's the kind of place that makes you want to linger, and we did for three and a half hours. Seeing the owner and chef again at the end of the night was a lovely surprise and a perfect ending to an evening that left us both so happy. I can't wait to come back.

Our server Roy also did a fabulous job and I look forward to coming back to this experience very soon.
