Prawn appetizer also flavorful. Bread is wonderful. My companion had the baked fish special and he said it was good and fresh, but very plain in it's preparation. This is a good restaurant choice if you want a nice dinner (something different maybe), but didn't make reservations at any of the hot restaurants in the center. Decor is a bit old and tired. Waitress was in a t-shirt and jeans. I would return for sure.

This is less of a restaurant and more of a Portuguese social club and a place to watch…read moresoccer/football on the big screen (the loyalty here is for Porto, though Benfica games are on when Porto isn't playing). So I can't really recommend that you check this place out unless you are Portuguese and miss the taste of home or happen to have Portuguese friends who are in the know! The decor is barebones, just some long tables and folding chairs, a large screen (and several smaller ones), and a smoking room. Oh, and wi-fi! There is a very basic food and drink menu posted near the front, but most of the times our friends will usually order carafes of red wine or bottles of beer and chorizo (which you cook yourself at the table) with bread as soon as we sit down. There seems to be only one main course option each night and it will vary from steak to pork served in a sandwich or with salad, fries and/or rice. Occasionally, they will offer Portuguese specialties such as caracois (snails) or bolinhos de bacalhau (codfish and potato croquettes). Very simple meals but authentic and tasty! We often come here with "members" of this club who pay a fee to be able to reserve tables for popular games and get reduced prices on food and drink, so it makes for a very cheap night out for a ton of food and drink!

"What dreams are made of"…read more.. Delightful little gem! Cute family run restaurant, conveniently located. And if you can look past the sea gulls, dinner here could be tons of enjoyable food! Actually, I think the slightly cheesy décor sort of has it charms. They have a good selection of Portuguese wines, so start off with some vinho verde and sample an array of tasty starters. The cod fritters were some of the best I've had. Mains: meat for the carnivores and plenty of seafood dishes for the pescetarians. Vegetarians are S.O.L. Portuguese staple Bacalhau (salted cod fish) is well represented, but instead I went for a stew with monk fish and cockles. The grilled sword fish steak of my dinner date was definitely a treat. Earlier, we tried some of their specialties: the pork and Chanfana lamb stew. Both were good!. The lamb came in a reduce red wine sauce with black olives and potatoes and if I remember correctly, the pork was a crackling suckling pig with orange sauce that satisfied my every juicy pig fat needs. If you won't try dinner at Portugalia, at least just visit for the Molotov dessert! A massive airy whiteness that jiggles when they bring it to your table. At first sight, it looks quite intimidating, especially after having pigged out on mains before. But don't be fooled. When you dive into that fluffy egg white soufflé drizzled with the best caramel sauce ever!, the dreamy mountain of clouds will have jiggled it's way right into your tummy before you ever knew what hit you. It's like eating air. Air that's makes your pants fit a little bit tighter...

The Portuguese azulejos in this small restaurant bring back fond memories of my visit to Portugal…read moretwo years ago. I managed to get the last available indoor table for the evening. I suggest if you've read their menu (posted on the door) and they're open, ask to reserve a table for dinner. You'll have a hit-or-miss experience without a reservation. My mother and I ordered our Portuguese favorites from a jolly waiter who was happy we chose his restaurant for our first night in Amsterdam. Their pastelis de bacalhau were warm and crispy. They had a green pea stew with Portuguese sausage and a poached egg. Mom had a blackened sardine with red bell pepper slices. Great food, great memories.

I saw a lot of other tables had ordered what looked like a meat sampler which looked cool to share if you had a large party.
