"At Patio 44, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the quality of ingredients used as well as the discreet and simple façade. This project was created by three friends, with chefs Simão Soares and Alfonso Ramos in charge of the kitchen – a partnership that developed from experience working together in a previous restaurant. Their cuisine is centred around traditional Portuguese cuisine enhanced by modern techniques and unique flavours. Standout dishes include the cod “punheta” with crunchy rice, followed by a vegetarian option (tofu and mushrooms with a mouthwatering demi-glace) and an impressive fresh cod prepared with a smooth chickpea purée. To finish, we highly recommend the spectacular “pão de ló” sponge cake fresh out of the oven, served with goat’s cheese ice-cream. The reasonable prices here are another pleasant surprise!" - Michelin Inspector
