I do not get what the fuss is about this place. I realize a vegetarian at a Portuguese BBQ might sound odd but I sometimes each fish and am a sucker for a 4000 square foot patio and a place a lot of people I know said they've been too and loved.
The patio is a good size. But there were a whole lot of smokers on it when I was there which during my meal was a bit annoying. I know, I'm outside I'm supposed to deal with it, I just found it was pretty much every table. That aside...the food. Was...according to my whole party of 7 of us...MEH. Portions are big, yes. But bland and uninteresting and overcooked - this was the consensus around the table. My bf is a meat-eating, chicken loving, bbq fiend and he was very unimpressed. Same goes for his brother and cousin. We all had leftovers but none that anyone wanted to take home.
The sangria was also not good. Mostly pop, hardly any booze - tried the red and the white and found them both lacking. SIgh. I couldn't even drink myself into a good time here.
There is NOTHING to eat for a vegetarian that doesn't eat fish - some lame tasteless cheese and hard olives was about the sum total of what was available. But I don't want to judge a place like this on their veggies options, I know that isn't why one goes to Bairrada.
So...I'm not sure what all my friends that have raved about here are thinking but this is a one time only try for me.
