We had patatas bravas, tuna crudo, and scallop crudo. My friend is vegetarian, so they deconstructed both dishes to keep the veg separate from the seafood so we could both enjoy. The dishes were still so beautiful, despite the change up, and so light and flavorful, and fun to reconstruct!

They put us at the chefs window which was much appreciated. I love getting to see the workings of the kitchen, everyone so locked in, guessing if maybe they're working on my treat next. For food we ordered a little of everything, some deviled eggs, the mini lobster roll, the cod croquettes, the zucchini, the potatoes, and the cod and chicken for entrees. I thought all our starters were awesome, if not just a bit too much on the small side. The most egregious being the zucchini, two grilled slices for the price of 18 dollars. Drinks were awesome too, and I thank them for enlightening me on the amazingness of poncha. I found the cod to be just a tad overcooked, but the sauce was awesome. My chicken was cooked perfectly, though the glaze was a bit too sweet for my liking. We got some basque cheesecake to go, it was served with some nice tiny blueberries and sauce. Delicious, even the day after. Was awesome for my fellow gluten free diners, much of their menu is naturally gluten free. The menu online nor in store is marked though. I myself used a marked up menu of the past that was mostly similar and the current menu to explore my options.

We were seated immediately as we arrived before the 6 pm rush. Our table ordered an array of appetizers including the lapas, linguica, codfish fritters, and mussels. All the appetizers were very tasty. For entrees our table ordered grilled octopus, octopus stew, and the rice dish that came with half a lobster. While everyone else said their meals were great, my grilled octopus lacked flavor and was extremely chewy. Our server was kind and very helpful. I would give this place another try but maybe try a different dish.

I was recently in Portugal and fell in love with the country and its beautiful culture, so finding a Portuguese market in New England was a great surprise. As soon as I walked in I felt transported to Portugal. The staff speaking Portuguese, the seafood, the oils, the sweets... it was almost like I was back in the Iberian peninsula. It was overwhelming, honestly, but in the best possible way. This place had it all! It had fresh produce, meats, fish (including cod!), sweets, and a separate section for coffee. I got some of their pasteis de nata and although they were not as good as the ones in Lisbon, they definitely fulfilled my cravings. I also got a latte which was phenomenal. The people working here were very sweet and welcoming. If you're in Lowell or passing by, I'd definitely stop by Valentina's Portuguese Market.

After an easy 5hr bus ride from Albany (ride included 1 stop), I thought I'd be wiped- but…read morehonestly, when my daughter picked me up from South Station in Boston, it gave me a second wind. She'd mapped out a perfect little afternoon and evening, starting with an indoor market that was full of local art and vintage charm. By the time we wrapped up there, we were hungry. With so many restaurant options around, we chanced it and landed here. The moment you step inside, you're hit with that scent of garlic and seafood. My kid and I gave each the 'look' that said: this is it! Casa Portugal is inviting and decorated in soft blues+whites giving a coastal feel and the service equally matched the energy perfectly: attentive and kind. Our plump and juicy shrimp in tomato sauce starter was rich and full of garlic. It was the kind of appetizer where you find yourself wanting extra bread just to sip up that garlicky sauce. For our main plates, my kid picked the grilled octopus, and I went with the sea bream. The octopus was "like butta," and had that perfect char on the outside but silky inside. My sea bream was nice and I particularly liked that they got rid of the head and tail for me. Both our man plates by the way- had a nice amount of potatoes and steamed vegetables. And here's another part that really stood out- pricing. For the quality and freshness of the seafood, everything felt reasonable. All in all, come to Casa P. for a good meal. From the moment you walk in and smell that garlic in the air to that last bite of seafood, it really delivers on every level.

We started off with a pitcher of sangria, as did many other couples around us. The sangria was delicious, one of the better ones I've had. Fruitful and sweet, very refreshing. They bring bread to your table to start, it was very good especially with some butter and olive oil on top. I do wish it were toasted or warmed but it was still fresh. We also ordered the appetizer, Chouriço Assado no Fogareiro (Grilled Portuguese Sausage). This came to us straight off the flame and was nice and hearty. I ordered off of the specials menu, Bacalhau com natas (Cod with Portuguese cream). It was very yummy, fresh fish and a light cream. It came with salad but I asked for rice. Instead of substituting the waitress gave me both and charged an extra $5...oh well. Salad was good and rice too. My boyfriend got the Filetes de Peixe (Fried fish filet with salad, rice & potatoes). He enjoyed his too! Those potatoes were yummy. We chose fish and most of the tables around us did too. We skipped on dessert although all looked great. This place was quite charming inside and definitely is an awesome place to enjoy dinner. It was busy so we were lucky to snag a table as it's not big inside. We did feel as this cooking was very homemade and although super tasty and lovely inside, I wouldn't consider it fine dining. I would revisit!

The menu is not huge, but it has enough for you to be satisfied. Beverages include beer and soft drinks, a small selection of wines, many of which are Portuguese, and sangria, red and white. Note that the prices of the wines and the sangria are not on the menu. We ordered the red sangria, which comes by the glass, and if I recall is approximately $9.45/glass. It's delicious and quite strong. Our appetizer was the cod cakes, which could just as easily be described as "cod cake tots" due to their size, but they're also priced "tot size" at $1.75 each. The Portuguese style meals are typically chicken, beef, or various types of seafood, generally served with a tomato based sauce with onions and peppers, on your choice of pasta or rice. Potatoes will also come with some meals. Our dinners came out VERY quickly, just about the time we were finished with the codfish tots. Dinner plus the appetizer and sangria came to about $45 each adding tax and tip, a reasonable amount for the quality of the food and atmosphere.
