Reviews
Excellent food and service. The chicken was so fresh and nicely done that it is still so juicy. Staff came to check on us from time to time. Lovely with nice chill jazz. Love the tableware too!
The food was so good that we ended up ordering enough for 3 people between the 2 of us just so we try more. Best prawns I've had anywhere. Everything was very generous in its portion. Totally authentic. Busy but efficient service. Would come back here any day!
The taste was impeccable, though it didn't quite suit my palate, like not so special that I’ll revisit. The ambiance was truly excellent, very relaxing, and the service was warm and welcoming. The meat and seafood were also very fresh, and I can tell the olive oil used is of high quality. The roasted chicken is a bit salty from my taste, bread with butter is nothing special.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Portugalia Tasca. We began with complimentary handmade potato chips and fresh bread and butter. For an appetizer, I loved the caldo verde with chorizo. My spouse loved her grilled dourado fish entree that came with salad and boiled potatoes. She had ordered fresh handcut French fries, but they brought the boiled ones by mistake. They let us keep them and brought over a fresh order of fries for us to savor. I had the delicious rice with shrimps, clams and mussels. The dishes were large; the food was excellent; the atmosphere was nice; the service was fine and the prices were very reasonable. I highly recommend dining here when visiting Amsterdam.
We ordered bakalau and creamy rice seafood as main courses, flamed chorizo as the starter. And green wine. Everything was so delicious. Also the service was very good they treat you so warmly and naturally like a friend. When we were sitting there we saw some customers look like old customer for many years, talking with the owner and waiters like families. I like this place, very cozy. Unfortunately we don't have more space for desert.... Definitely will come again.
