Restaurant Review

This is one of the original Ironbound restaurants, while most restaurants tend to fall-off over time, this one has been consistently good after more than forty years.

They serve up authentic, well prepared Portuguese food in huge portions. About the only adverse comment is that while their prices are very reasonable, they tend to be slightly higher than many of the other restaurants in the Newark, Ironbound district.

The dining room, although dated, is trimmed by dark woods and soft lighting with a bar that is frequented by locals

For starters, try the:Shrimp in Garlic Sauce (camarao em molho de alho); the Grilled King Crab Leg with Garlic Sauce ( perna de carangueijo gigante c/molho de alho); or the Sausage Flambe,Portuguese Style, ( chourico flamejado).

For dinner entrees, try the: Mariscada, a Variety of Seafood served in Green Sauce ( mariscada variedade de mariscos em molho verde); the Paelha Valenciana, a Combination of Seafood and Meats with Saffron Rice (paella a valenciana); or the Broiled Combination of Filet Mignon, Loin Lamb Chop, and Chicken (combinacao de filet mignon, frango, e costeleta de carneiro).

Save room for desserts. Try the Creme Brulee ( leite creme) or the Toasted Almond Cream Cake ( bolo de attendoa torrada).

The service is friendly and attentive, and they offer secure parking across the street.
