Taberna da Praça has a new menu, a new chef and a Manteigaria Silva inside
There's a new Taberna da Praça to discover inside the Cidadela in Cascais. Originally opened in 2012, the restaurant now boasts a brand-new menu, a new head chef, and a refreshed atmosphere – not to mention the addition of a Manteigaria Silva inside, the iconic Lisbon deli once named by the Financial Times as one of the best in the world. At the helm of the kitchen is Pedro Inglês Marques, who's joined from Pestana Palace Lisboa. The chef brings a contemporary touch to traditional Portuguese flavours. On the petiscos side, expect peixinhos da horta (€8), an indulgent oxtail croquette (€4), black pork chouriço flamed in medronho brandy (€10), and mushrooms à Bulhão Pato (€9). For something more substantial, try the octopus à lagareiro with sweet potato from Comporta (€27), black pork secretos with cockle rice (€21), bacalhau à brás with a fresh green salad (€17), or the classic bitoque — sirloin steak with homemade chips and a fried egg (€20). Desserts stick to the Portuguese classics too, with highlights like the Joaninha de Cascais (€9), sericaia with Elvas plums (€7), drunken rocha pear (€7), and a bold 100% cocoa mousse (€7) stealing the spotlight. Making its Cascais debut, Manteigaria Silva now brings its top-quality cheeses and cured meats to the heart of the Cidadela, available to buy inside the revamped Taberna da Praça. You can also tuck into generous boards featuring these artisanal products right there at the table. Upstairs, still quietly charming, you'll find Déjà Lu, the second-hand bookshop with plenty of stories already told – and still waiting to be read.
