Tosca

The inventive tapas selection at this popular eatery includes carefully arranged plates of octopus salad, eggs with green asparagus tips and goat's cheese with caramelized onions. A favourite choice however is the chouriço de Serra da Estela assado, succulent grilled Serra Estrela spicy sausage. More elaborate dishes that showcase Portuguese culinary tradition can also be ordered from the full lunchtime and evening menu, plates like bacalhau à Gomes de Sa, a traditional cod fish-based specialty. The arm-long wine list highlights Portuguese labels from across the country. Always busy, this fashionable nightspot can get very crowded at weekends, and advance booking is recommended.
