Adega is one of our favourites. This is the resturant where I proposed to my future wife. They were very accomodating for this event and were happy to provide me with a private alcove table. They were very good with their timing and nice enough to provide us with a couple of glasses of complimentary champage a well timed minutes after the main event.
The wine list provides a nice selection of lesser known portugese varietals and our server was exceptionally knowledgeable about the characteristics of each.
Our meal started with some excellent bread and some extremely addictive olives which are probably some of the best that I've ever had.
We had the Petisco Platter for our appetizer. Everything was excellent, especially the portuguese cheese, perfectly grilled sardines and chorico.
My Fiancee had the Mediterranean Octopus which was exceptionally tender and cooked to perfection. I had the Cataplana Fish fish stew which was an excellent, traditional comfort food.
Our night was finished off with some tasty desserts. I had a glass of vintage white port which complimented the White Chocolate Creme Brulee rather nicely. My fiancee had the Warm Caramelized Apple Tart with an espresso.
Overall a fantastic evening with an excellent atmosphere, great food and exceptional service.
