From the inner sanctum through to the 'main restaurant'
A week ago last Tuesday we went back to eat @ A Taberna. André had kindly reserved us a small table in the inner sanctum by the bar. It normally isn't possible to book tables in this tiny restaurant. Even when we arrived around 8pm there was a queue outside. I can, however, assure you that it is worth waiting for André's inventive cooking and it won't break the bank.

Fromage de tête (on the house)
2010 Nana Tejo Reserva: a delicious and soft red wine field blend made
by André's girlfriend, named in homage to her mother
The dishes here are small – petiscos, so the idea is that if there are three of you then you should choose four, which is what we did.
Bacalhau with chick peas – sensational!
Squid with Japanese squid noodles in squid ink – wonderfully staining!
Slow cooked pork
André's take on a hamburger
Strawberries lubricated with Vinho Generoso
(a version of home-made Port)
and also in the glasses
+ passion fruit ice-cream – yum!
Vinho Generoso
With the bottle of wine our meal cost the three of us £57.50 – fabulous value!
Kiosk in Príncipe Real
On the way home we stopped for an expresso at a kiosk in Prínciple Real.
