Bastardo

Gorgeous new restaurant. I came here to have tea at 4 in the afternoon because I hadn’t eaten all day and was starving. I got their grilled veggies and quinoa savory dish from the afternoon tea menu with a green juice and herb tea. The quinoa dish — nicely charred tofu and red quinoa atop a bed of vegetable purée — was extremely well cooked. Then came the herb tea… cart. They grow their own herbs so I could choose among different herbs and flavorings like lime and orange zest and juice, cinnamon, ginger, apple etc. I liked the tea service so much that I asked them if I could stay for dinner.
For dinner from Monday — Friday they do a small set menu for 15 euros which include water/​wine, soup, entrée which is a stew, and a small dessert. I ordered a la carte and got jarglass — duck escabeche, seaworld — skate + squid + potato salad and a pineapple lemon dessert. Everything tasted amazing and their bread which came inside a lego box was a cute touch.
Cooking is proficient, audacious and extremely modern. You can taste the Portuguese passion in the food. Service is also amazing.
