A Petisqueira

Me and my 2 friends came here for lunch and we had the best amazing Portuguese food for lunch. Served by an amazing team of ladies with great customer service

Some of the best Portuguese food I’ve ever had, and by far the most tender octopus I’ve tasted in my life! This restaurant is quaint, a bit worn and rustic. Nothing fancy to look at. You’d not give it a 2nd look from the street, but the food we ate was fabulous! A short, comprehensive wine list which had all the favourites, including Green wine! Reasonable prices, friendly wait staff. I highly recommend!

We walked in on a weekday afternoon without a reservation. Almost all of the customers were foreigners. Food prices here are definitely not cheap compared to other local restaurants; but I must say that the food tasted quite nice. The roasted octopus was tender and the garlic olive oil goes so well with the bread. The portion of the paella was good enough for 2 people to share. Various types of seafood were used in the dish including lobster meat, mussels and shrimps. When we finished lunch the place was already closed to prepare for dinner. So it is probably better to arrive early for lunch.

The service here is excellent. The staff is friendly and efficient, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The complimentary bread rolls are a definite highlight, with a perfectly crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior. The clams in garlic sauce are also delicious. Unfortunately, the Bacalhau a Bras and soup of the day were a bit bland.

We arrive at the restaurant at around half past nine, and the restaurant was relatively quiet with only one table occupied. We asked the staff if we could get a table for two and they said yes and sat us down. However when they brought us the menu they told us it's last order time and we have to order now. They weren't very helpful when we asked for recommendations. We ordered a seafood rice, clams, and grilled squid (which was recommended). The clams were fragrant and fresh, but the grilled squid was quite tough and hard to chew. The seafood rice was passable.

Large menu and decent wine list. Prices of a plate averaged around $200 each and wine was cheap. The bread rolls and octopus salad were delicious and were the highlight of the meal.

A Portuguese restaurant in Taipa. Grilled squid and the dipping sauce is delicious; quite big portion. Cod fish soup is a bit oily for me but the taste is good. The food was prepared very fast.

It serves some of the authentic Portuguese dishes that you don't easily find them in Macau. We ordered many plates from beef tripe with chickpeas to fried sardines to cod croquettes, and all of them were very good. It's a casual dinning and relatively minimal in decor and settings. The wait staff was very helpful and pleasant.
