Taberna Nacional

Bacalhau

Salt cod prepared with real technique — the kitchen's mastery of Portugal's national ingredient shows in the texture and seasoning across multiple preparations

Grilled Sardines

Charred skin, yielding oily flesh, served simply with lemon and bread — the Portuguese benchmark done faithfully

Croquetes

Golden, shatteringly crisp croquettes with a creamy salt cod or meat interior — the first thing to order at any Portuguese petiscos table

Charcuterie and Cured Meats

Portuguese-sourced cured meats and cheeses — the natural opener to a petiscos spread, best alongside a chilled Vinho Verde

Pastéis de Nata

Custard tarts with a caramelized, burnished top and flaky shell — the essential Portuguese dessert, executed with care
