Authentic Portuguese Cuisine at Casa Lisboa with Executive Chef, Edgar Alves

Jun 11

Happily, we can always try variety of cuisines in Hong Kong. Casa Lisboa is one of the best restaurants to have Portuguese food if you don't want to travel all the way to Portugal & Macau. Situated at Lan Kwai Fong Tower, Central since mid-2010, the restaurant offers customers a total immersion experience into the Portuguese culture. The restaurant interior is decorated with many copper pots, colourful handicrafts from Portugal, as well as the paintings that depict the local lives in Lisbon. Certainly, the famous Portuguese blue and white ceramic tile decoration can be found at the entrance and bar area.

Besides their signature dishes, such as the Classic Codfish Cakes, the Traditional Roasted Suckling Pig “Bairrada” Style and the Baked Portuguese Duck Rice Old Style. Currently, their new executive chef from Portugal, Edgar Alves with over 18 years of cooking experience has jointed the restaurant and crafted the most authentic new menu with a modern presentation and surely will give you a surprise.

"Santos Populares" Style Baby Sardines is one of our favourite dishes in the new menu. This dish is named after the famous festival "Santos Populares" that takes place in Portugal every June. The presentation is exquisite with 3 baby sardines served on a piece of toast and formed a campfire-like shape. Chef Edgar sourced the high quality ingredients directly imported from Portugal. Crispy sardines and toast sandwiched with sweet and juicy bell peppers. If you give one bite, these 3 layers will definitely give you a memorable experience. Don't forget other distinctive dishes, like the Traditional Seafood "Cataplana" Stew cooked in their traditional copper pot and the Iberico Pork Tenderloin and Mushroom Juicy Rice, inspired by a traditional family recipe of Chef Edgar.
