Tasca da Esquina
June 30, 2011 § 5 Comments
“Tasca” means a modest establishment that serves cheap wine and “petiscos” (the Portuguese word for “tapa”). When well-known chef Vitor Sobral opened this restaurant he probably called it tasca to signal its affordable price. But the quality is excellent. There is a daily menu featuring small dishes, all original, all prepared with great care. There is also a degustation. The wine list has many good choices, including the excellent Chef’s Collection Vitor Sobral from Alentejo. Three star food almost at tasca prices, that is what you get at Tasca da Esquina. Reservations are a must.
