After an easy 5hr bus ride from Albany (ride included 1 stop), I thought I'd be wiped- but…read morehonestly, when my daughter picked me up from South Station in Boston, it gave me a second wind. She'd mapped out a perfect little afternoon and evening, starting with an indoor market that was full of local art and vintage charm. By the time we wrapped up there, we were hungry. With so many restaurant options around, we chanced it and landed here. The moment you step inside, you're hit with that scent of garlic and seafood. My kid and I gave each the 'look' that said: this is it! Casa Portugal is inviting and decorated in soft blues+whites giving a coastal feel and the service equally matched the energy perfectly: attentive and kind. Our plump and juicy shrimp in tomato sauce starter was rich and full of garlic. It was the kind of appetizer where you find yourself wanting extra bread just to sip up that garlicky sauce. For our main plates, my kid picked the grilled octopus, and I went with the sea bream. The octopus was "like butta," and had that perfect char on the outside but silky inside. My sea bream was nice and I particularly liked that they got rid of the head and tail for me. Both our man plates by the way- had a nice amount of potatoes and steamed vegetables. And here's another part that really stood out- pricing. For the quality and freshness of the seafood, everything felt reasonable. All in all, come to Casa P. for a good meal. From the moment you walk in and smell that garlic in the air to that last bite of seafood, it really delivers on every level.

The linguica with peppers and onion was our choice, I got mine with rice. It also came with a salad or soup, we got one of each. Salad was yummy and had that nice homemade feeling. My boyfriend liked his soup. Plus they bring you delicious warm bread. The linguica was delicious as well as the vegetables and rice, all paired nicely!! My dessert was a rice pudding I liked it!!

The service and food is good. It's not anything impressive, but I am satisfied and do not find myself being disappointed here. The ambiance is the best part. Super welcoming, cozy, nice.

Thank you, Muqueca, for warming me up…read more Fish with Shrimp Moqueca: Made in the Capixaba recipe, this version replaced red palm oil and coconut milkthem with tomatoes--which happened to be my favorite. The broth was warm, flavorful, and refreshing. The initial notes are the sweetness of onions and bell peppers, followed by the delicate aroma of cilantro, leaving a clean taste impression. The whitefish fillets are tender and flavorful, yet still retain a subtle chewiness. The Pirão sauce, made with the fish broth and tapioca starch, was rich and thick, enhancing both the saltiness and umami, even reminiscent of Cantonese style abalone sauce. The two flavors were distinct yet complementary, a true delight with rice--though fresh, higher-quality Thai jasmine rice would be better. The earthenware pot, bearing the marks of time, kept the food warm; the portion was also very generous, perfect for sharing. I ended up taking some home for a second meal. Flan: Although I was quite full, the deliciousness of the moqueca piqued my interest in trying dessert. The pudding had a smooth and delicate texture, unlike the often sticky flaky texture of supermarket flans. The egg flavor wasn't strong, while the caramel syrup was rich and smooth, with an irresistible initial bitterness followed by a delightful sweetness. Plus, the syrup was generous, making it wonderful to coat every slice of cake in it. No wonder it's their signature dessert. Hot Sauce: The homemade hot sauce was highly recommended by my server. It didn't look very spicy, but it was far beyond my tolerance. However, I must admit it was incredibly delicious, with a refreshing citrus flavor and a smooth, emulsified texture alongside the spiciness, creating a very rich flavor profile. Being unable to handle spice is a real shame in its presence. The server's movements were elegant, the service attentive, the pace comfortable, and he satisfied some of my curiosity as a cuisine lover.

Absolutely stunning view of Boston on the 17th floor of Raffles hotel. High end decor and artful and elegant setting. Service: Professional, attentive, knowledgeable and easy to find. Tea was warmed. Opinions and pairs offered when asked. Food: lovely tower. Filling -- neither scant nor heavy serving sizes. Sweets were a standout, especially the chocolate kouignette. The savory was very good. Nice dab of caviar on the cucumber sandwich. Drink: we had the mango and greens spritz to start off. So fleshing and subtly complex. I had the grand jasmine tea, and it was a wonderful bouquet on the nose.

Though if you're paying this price and having this experience, the extra $15 might not matter. I'll be back for special occasions.

Found this bakery/ lunch spot on yelp during one of my late night yelp restaurant searching trip…read moreand decided to visit it the next day. This small bakery shop in somerville in very legit, authentic (in my opinion lol ) and cheap. Food came with generous amount and the servers were all very nice! Definitely recommend this place! I came to the bakery shop around 1:30 pm on a Saturday and there were a few people inside ordering food. They all spoke in Portuguese (I guess, aka some language that I don't understand and figured that Portuguese might be the best guess ;^) That immediately told me how authentic the food here was if locals would like to come. I ordered a cup of sugar cane juice, and Pastel Vitoria and a random chicken filled pastry that I don't know the name in their display window. The servers were super nice; they don't speak Really good English (another hint that the food here would be legit) but they tried their best to explain to me what everything is. After I got the pastry, I just seated in one of the few tables they had inside the shop and waited for My food. I had my chicken pastry first while waiting for the other food to be ready. The outside pastry hd a very strong butter aroma. It was very flaky and crunchy, which I really enjoyed it. The chicken inside was also well seasoned and perfectly cooked. Then the server gave me the sugar cane juice and also handed me some of their sauces from a cabinet (mayo and homemade spicy sayce etc.). The sugar cane juice was a must get! I was freshly squeezed from sugar cane: fresh, refreshing and sweet. It reminded me of all the sugar cane juice and good memories I had when I was a kid back in China. Very delicious! Then the Pastel came. It took some time for them to prepare for it because it was fried to order (~10mins). That's how they kept it not greasy at all. I was surprised by the size and the generous fillings they put in the inside. It was huuuuuuuge and it was only $6! What a good deal! I took a bite and I felt like I was in heaven XD Very crunchy outside with well seasoned fillings of cheese, chicken, beef and palm hearts. Very creamy and super delicious! As a woman with a very small stomach, I finished it all! I guess that could tell how good the food here was :) Really recommend this place if you live or happen to be nearby. It really worths a visit!
