OZÉ CAFÉ & BISTRO

BEST FOR Authentic Portuguese cuisine. FOOD There’s an excellent choice of fish or meat, and blackboard specials that could result in a mean plate of fresh sardines followed by a serving of prawns grilled to perfection. If you go the meat route, the delights are many, with chorizo, chicken livers, trinchado and buffalo wings on the starter menu, and for mains, chicken or beef espetada, a baby chicken and generous steak options. Pair your protein with real-deal creamed spinach or Portuguese rice. As a light meal, there’s chicken or beef pregos and a great selection of sandwiches. Don’t miss out on the doughnuts or pasteis de nata. DRINKS The drinks menu is innovative, with a striking wine list. There's a cocktail bar on the premises. SERVICE Swift. AMBIENCE This is a contemporary café, with an upstairs TV and bar area that accommodates a rowdier crowd when necessary. (DdB)
