TIP: Make a reservation on Fridays and weekends, if you want a table with a tablecloth in the air-conditioned dining room. Otherwise, you can always sit outdoors on plastic chairs.
My sister in law was visiting from Calgary and asked for a Portuguese meal. We could have gone to Chiado but I knew she wanted something more homey and casual. Churrasqueira Martins came highly recommended by a Portuguese friend. He was absolutely right!
We ordered a bunch of things and ate family style.
Chorico sausage arrived, impressively flaming.
Grilled calamari was succulent and the lemon garlic sauce was a bread magnet.
Roast suckling pig was tender and delicious (loved the spicy dipping sauce).
Roast chicken was flavourful and the portion was generous.
Bacalhau was tender and enough for 2 people.
House wine from Portugal was pretty good.
We ate so much that we had to skip dessert but we had a look at the dessert menu for our NEXT VISIT.
