Winterlicious 2016 was my first foray into Portuguese food since I am planning on visiting the country this summer. I don't know exactly how authentic the cuisine is, but I do know that I had a great experience. Nice places like this usually cheap out on the serving proportions during Winterlicious (looking at you Canoe) but I was not disappointed here!
For my appetizer I ordered the grilled squid. Delicious and beautifully presented on my plate! Servers were super attentive and kept our bread basket full. For the mains, I ordered the mushroom risotto and my husband ordered the seafood risotto so at least I got to try both. I actually very much preferred the mushroom risotto... it was so flavourful! Everything was served piping hot fresh too. The mains filled us up quite nicely too but I made sure to finish my dessert, which was a sample of three kinds of cake ;)
Fancy but not too uptight atmosphere and great service. We were greeted warmly when we arrived and were bid farewell in such a gentlemanly manner (he remembered which one was my coat). It was such a nice restaurant experience, I'd recommend this place to anyone and hopefully one day I will return!
