Contemporary Portuguese restaurant serving classic fare at informal tables on the bustling sidewalk.
"Portuguese chef Vítor Sobral delivers flavors right from Lisbon, where he runs five other restaurants. At Tasca da Esquina, Sobral offers a modern take on inexpensive Portuguese eateries known as tascas, dressing up the neighborhood place with elegant furnishings, skylights, and a green wall. If Portuguese heritage has always been present in Brazilian food, diners can return to the source here with options including salt cod with potatoes and egg, sardines with vinaigrette, duck rice, and octopus with potatoes." - Rafael Tonon
