About

Casa Minhota serves authentic Portuguese cuisine centered on fresh seafood and traditional tapas. Guests encounter a menu featuring salt cod prepared in multiple regional styles alongside grilled sardines and succulent octopus drizzled in high-quality olive oil. Small plates focus on bold flavors including spicy chorizo, garlic-heavy shrimp, and rich bean stews that characterize the culinary traditions of northern Portugal. The kitchen emphasizes ingredient integrity through direct heat cooking methods that honor coastal cooking techniques. Simple preparation allows the natural essence of shellfish and Atlantic fish to remain the primary focus of every dish. The environment prioritizes functional simplicity, ensuring that the focus remains entirely on the robust flavor profiles and authentic textures found in traditional Iberian fare.

The food was delicious & tasted just like Portugal. It was a nice high end restaurant & the service was friendly & as quick as possible. I found the pastel de nata a bit dry, but otherwise the food was great!

Party of six. I had the cod Minhota which was tough & so full of bones. Unappetizing as it wasn't filleted, the spine was covered in potatoes which made it difficult to eat. The seafood rice was way too fishy & the seafood was tough. Perhaps not fresh. The bread & wine was good. The appetizers…again fish was tough.

Im writting this in hopes someone from the restaurant reads it. It was my first time there I brought my boyfriend for his bday…food was great..we took fish & seafood mostly…. However a few hours later my boyfriend & I got severe food poisonning…. We have been sick for more than 24hrs… It kinda sucks because the food & service was great but clearly your fish & seafood had contaminants.
