Casa Portugal - Cambridge

It was the amazing meal in a while. It was my first time Portugal dishes and everything was perfect. We asked for some recommendations but out waiter said that he doesn’t give any recommendations because all of them are ????????.Food: 5/5

A bustling local gem that radiates an authentic charm, serving traditional Portuguese delicacies in a cozy, unpretentious setting. Casa Portugal’s popularity among locals, particularly those of Portuguese and Brazilian descent, is a testament to the place's genuineness.On my recent visit, we started off with the flamboyant Grilled Portuguese Sausage, arriving ablaze at our table. Contrary to its seemingly dry exterior, it unveiled a juicy, fat-laden interior, with a crisp outer layer adding a textural delight. The clams in olive oil and garlic wine sauce were also exquisitely cooked, with the simplicity of the seasonings allowing the freshness of the ingredients to take center stage.The Bife a Portuguêsa, a wholesome ensemble of fried steak, ham, and fried egg, was hearty and comforting. Even though it came across as a simple dish, the quality and flavors surpassed any typical steak and eggs combo at regular diners.Casa Portugal epitomizes the essence of homely Portuguese food, offering excellent, no-fuss dishes and swift service. The eatery's philosophy of minimal seasoning ensures that the ingredients' natural flavors shine through, truly showcasing the essence of traditional Portuguese fare. Looking back, my only regret is not discovering this place sooner. A revisit to explore more of their menu is unequivocally on the cards.

I had the Dourada Grelhada Grilled sea bream with boiled potatoes vegetables and my son had Medalhas de Bife Fried steak medallions, fresh mushrooms, in mustard wine sauce and everything was cooked to perfection. Even though the place was packed with long waiting line and they where shorthanded for waitresses they did a excellent job of getting customers in and out and providing best service that they can.

We ordered 4 plates of octopus. The dishes were all way too salty and greasy. The food quality was so bad. I absolutely wouldn't recommend!Food: 1/5

Excellent Portuguese food. Great service. It is a valuable part of the Cambridge food scene!
