About The Dishes

Pastel de Chaves

The name Pastel de Chaves originated when the pastry was first created in the Portuguese city of Chaves. This puff pastry shell with a mixture of veal, bread, and onions is a Portuguese delicacy. The tradition of preparing pastel de Chaves dates back to 1862, according to a popular legend, the first person to sell these unique pastries was Teresa Feliz Barreira, the founder of the first establishment where pastel de Chaves could be bought.

Bacalhau à Brás

The origin of the Bacalhau à Brás recipe is uncertain, but is said arise in Bairro Alto, an old quarter of Lisbon. This savoury Portuguese dish is made from thin sliced pieces of salted cod, onions and thinly chopped fried potatoes, bound with scrambled eggs. It is garnished with black olives and sprinkled with fresh parsley. 

Peri-Peri Chicken

Peri-Peri chicken is a traditional Portuguese dish. The whole pieces of chicken, usually grilled or charred, covered in a chilli based paste or sauce complete this traditional Portuguese dish. Peri-Peri is a Portuguese wild chilli pepper that originally came about by Portuguese explorers in Mozambique from the malagueta pepper which then spread to other Portuguese territories. Our Peri-Peri chicken is bone-in and marinated overnight in olive oil, tomato and garlic. On the side to pair with the chicken is our ancho chilli, roasted paprika, basil, cilantro sauce.
