"Inspired by northern Portuguese flavors and Nuno Mendes’s family roots, the restaurant serves memorable signature dishes—most notably a turnip pastel de nata topped with caviar and a nostalgic milk dessert composed of different milky textures—alongside creative plates such as giant squid noodles with chickpeas, cod tripe stew, native blue lobster, and Alentejo pork shoulder with Sarrabulho rice; a knowledgeable sommelier pairs wines from the Douro, Vinho Verde, and Dão, and the adjoining Flôr bar offers 12-seat cocktails and evening pestiscos plus house-churned ice creams." - Abigail Malbon, Jessica-Belle Greer
