Paying homage to the old seaside town but updating dishes for a more modern sensibility, Chiado features what might best be described as “nouvelle Portuguese cuisine.” The food is first-rate and fabulous, featuring an ocean’s worth of fresh fish simply prepared with olive oil and herbs, as well as innovative takes on pheasant, game and poultry. To add to the authenticity of the experience, Chiado has the largest collection of fine Portuguese wines in North America and a superb selection of vintage ports.
