"Friendly, relaxed, and resolutely local, this beloved spot offers a clever twist on tradition: tuna tataki, sardines on toast, and fried eggplant with Madeira honey pair beautifully with an impressive list of Portuguese whites, reds, and vinho verdes. It’s first-come, first-served—expect to put your name down and return later—but the payoff is one of the city’s best Portuguese meals in a cozy, happy room." - Abigail Malbon
