Come celebrate the best of Portuguese cuisine in the first-ever Portugal Restaurant Week, which will take place from 17-24 April in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Portugal Restaurant Week is a week-long celebration of Portugal's gastronomy and vibrant food culture. This first-ever initiative will bring together five Portuguese restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area, where diners can enjoy special prix fixe menus and indulge in the finest Portuguese food and wine.
Influenced by the fresh flavors and ingredients of the Mediterranean, Portugal's cuisine is rich and varied, and offers unique dishes that you won't find anywhere else in the world.
Since no part of Portugal is very far from the ocean, seafood is among the country's most popular delicacies. Beyond the famous sardines and salt-dried cod (known as Bacalhau), other typical dishes include roasted octopus, seafood stews and cataplanas, and locally caught shellfish - simple yet impeccably prepared ingredients, always dressed with the fruity and delicious taste of Portuguese olive oil.
