Underwhelming Arroz de Pato — expected more
I was looking forward to Arroz de Pato here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The briny and savoury character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with fresh sardines or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.
pastéis de nata originated in Belém monastery in the 18th century. The a pastelaria morning coffee setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. Sagres beer was available but not suggested appropriately. I've had much better versions elsewhere. Two stars because the dish concept is sound; the execution let it down.
