Antonio

This little restaurant in Taipa, with Azulejo tiles on its walls, is cosy and perfect to have a meal with your friends and family. Book your table in advance lest this Michelin star restaurant run out of space. The paintings on the walls are sure to draw your attention, specially the one with a lady listening to a Fado. Goat cheese with acacia honey and Portuguese olive oil served on toast, lettuce and balsamic vinegar, the roasted homemade Portuguese sausage, flame-grilled in a clay dish and the absolutely mouth-watering crepes suzette are a must have in this Portuguese restaurant. The desert named after a lady by the name Suzette is made right in front of your eyes with generous helping of orange zest, Portuguese brandy on a copper frying pan. Don’t complain of the extra fat piled around your waist as this sweet cannot be missed for anything. Wine is poured through a decanter before serving on your table. At times along with your meal you might get to experience some live Portuguese music with an artist strumming the guitar. If luck favours, you might get to meet the celebrated chef Antonio here.
