Fava Tonka

Eater rec for lunch or dinner.  Must-try dish: Sliced pickled beets with gorgonzola stracciatella and black garlic ice cream.  Note: there appears to also be an outpost at the Time Out Market? A pioneer in the vegetarian scene in Portugal, this modern restaurant in Leça da Palmeira has become a national reference. Built only with natural elements (wood, burnt cement, and marble), it could inspire an entire Pinterest board. Chef Nuno Castro serves meatless recipes blending familiar flavors with contemporary flair. Look out for the restaurant’s creative takes on classic Portuguese dishes like caldeirada, the country’s iconic seafood stew, and how chef Castro draws on every part of his ingredients, from stems to leaves.
