My friend and I were missing the food from our Portugal trip from last fall so we came here for a summerlicious lunch. The place is small and cozy, and the servers/hosts were very attentive.
You're served with black olives, bread, and olive oil first.
Appetizer:
- tartar of salmon, avocado, apple: small in portion, very fresh due to apple bits
- grilled sardine: bigger in portion, very fishy and sardine-y lol
Main:
- grilled squid: the squid is super tender and soft! A bit too salty for my liking but loved it regardless
- skate fish with lemon coriander risotto: this was delicious! The fish and risotto went very well together.
Dessert: good, but nothing extraordinary (please note that I'm not a big fan of sweets - kinda wished they had less sweet and more refreshing options)
I appreciated the 3 wine selection on the summerlicious menu so I didn't have to flip thru their long wine list =p I got Loios Alentejo white and it went very well with my food.
Really enjoyed my experience at Chiado, it made me feel like I was back in Portugal :)
