Had strolled in Soho and noticed this new Portuguese restaurant on Staunton Street. Their 3-course lunch sets are $128 only, with mains covering their Piri Piri chicken, must be their signature due to the restaurant’s name, hence we got in right away.They didn’t tell us what was the soup of the day, while it was like a potato soup with veggies added, plus one piece of chorizo. We had waited for quite some time for the soup, while the mains and dessert came at appropriate timing. The signature
They didn’t tell us what was the soup of the day, while it was like a potato soup with veggies added, plus one piece of chorizo. We had waited for quite some time for the soup, while the mains and dessert came at appropriate timing.
The signature Piri-Piri chicken was presented nicely. It came with fries, rice and salad.
The other main, pork ribs, was also in a Piri-Piri lemon sauce. All the mains were of large portion. The Piri-Piri chicken was very nice. It’s spicy and hot but not very hot. I would say it’s a 小辣only.
One of the other main course, grilled sardines, is also a traditional Portuguese dish. The sardines were very nice with chargrilled flavour. They were tender and juicy. I didn’t mind the small bones that much, as they were so fine and could simply eat together with the fish. The grilled sardines dish was the only item in the lunch main course section that wasn’t spicy.
The dessert was premium Pastel de Nata, which was essentially Portuguese eggtart with a splash of cinnamon powder on top. When you take a mouthful that had less eggtart but more cinnamon, it would be slightly bitter from the very beginning, while it ended nicely with the sweetness from the custard.
