I was not enthusiastic about ordering tripe and veal, but after reading all the reviews, it seems those two are must-orders. The reviews were right.
Tripe: I don't like tripe, but this dish really elevates it to another level. So, so tender. The stew was pure comfort food. I loved the beans. The broth was so savory.
Veal: The veal was crazy tender and bursting with flavor. The potatoes were thoroughly basted in the veal fat. The bottom was a bit too oily, but that's understandable. I liked the addition of the oranges for a splash of citrus to cut through the fat.
Each dish came with a bowl of made from the dish. Both rice dishes were amazing, soaking in all the flavors from the dishes themselves. The cabbage was much appreciated since the food was so rich.
Our server didn't speak too much English, but we managed to communicate anyways. He was awesome! So friendly and helpful even with the language barrier.
The restaurant was almost entirely empty for dinner on a Thursday night. By the time we finished, one other party had shown up. I hope more people can come support them, as this is my favorite restaurant in Portugal!
