Portugal Restaurant Week 2025, California

Celebrate the best of Portuguese cuisine at Portugal Restaurant Week in California!

From April 21-27, 2025, experience a week-long celebration of Portugal’s rich gastronomy and vibrant food culture at the third edition of Portugal Restaurant Week in California.

Since its launch in 2023, the event has grown each year. After starting in the San Francisco Bay Area, it expanded in 2024, and the 2025 edition will bring together nine Portuguese restaurants across California, from the Bay Area to Los Angeles. Diners will have the opportunity to enjoy exclusive prix fixe menus, featuring the finest Portuguese food and wine.

Rooted in Mediterranean flavors and fresh, high-quality ingredients, Portuguese cuisine is both diverse and distinctive, offering dishes you won’t find anywhere else in the world.

With no part of Portugal far from the ocean, seafood plays a starring role in the country’s culinary tradition. Beyond the beloved grilled sardines and the iconic salt-cured cod (Bacalhau), Portuguese cuisine features roasted octopus, rich seafood stews and cataplanas, and freshly caught shellfish—all prepared with simplicity and precision, always drizzled with the fruity, aromatic essence of Portuguese olive oil.

La Salette Restaurant

6757, 452 1st St E suite h, Sonoma, CA 95476

At home amidst the historic buildings surrounding Sonoma's historic plaza, LaSalette Restaurant has earned its reputation as one of Sonoma Valley's favorite restaurants since its inception in 1998. April marks its 25-year anniversary!

Chef Manuel Azevedo's signature Cozinha Nova Portuguesa - "New Portuguese Cuisine" - celebrates the varied and complex flavors of his native Portuguese homeland while adapting them to the immense offerings of top-quality ingredients from his current home in California. The result is a unique cuisine characterized by familiar Southern European comfort ingredients, exotic seasonings picked from around the globe during hundreds of years of Portuguese expeditionary voyages, and fresh local and seasonal Californian produce.

Tasca Tasca

122 W Napa St, Sonoma, CA 95476

Tasca Tasca offers its guests a unique dining experience. Chef Manuel Azevedo and his kitchen team dish up unusual items rarely found on menus in addition to approachable favorites – from Pigs Trotter Terrine to Yellowtail Ceviche to Mac & Cheese. A caring hospitality team serves you in a rustic pub-like environment reminiscent of a “tasca” in Portugal. Chef Azevedo’s daughter, Nazaré, shares a second generation of Portuguese pride through her unique cocktail offerings and Portuguese-only wine list, in addition to 20 Porto/Madeira selections.

Holy Nata

Holy Nata is an artisanal Portuguese bakery dedicated exclusively to creating the best Pasteis de Nata. We opened our first store in the Financial District of San Francisco in Aug. 2023.

Everyday we use our family recipe to hand make each tart with care and precision. Our boxes are filled with more than just pastries - they carry our family's promise of quality and the love of our dedicated team.

Nothing makes us happier than being able to share our culture, tradition and story with you through food.

Adega

ADEGA, meaning “wine cellar”, opened in December of 2015 and received San Jose’s first and only Michelin star 10 months after opening. ADEGA will be celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2025.

ADEGA represents a modern approach to authentic Portuguese cuisine. We strive to offer an authentic Portuguese experience for our guests, transporting you to Portugal through flavors and presenting the best of our cuisine using local seasonal ingredients.

Some staple Portuguese ingredients such as olive oil, lupini beans, sardines, octopus, salted codfish and suckling pig are included in this tasting menu. We hope to highlight these by using different culinary techniques. Also, you will notice that our menu is mainly focused on fish which reflects Portugal consuming the most fish per capita only behind Japan and Iceland.

Euro Café

Euro Cafe, Claremont CA, family owned & operated since 2004 - Serving breakfast & lunch | Euro Cafe opens early every morning with hot brewed coffee, full espresso bar, and fresh baked pastries. We offer a full range of breakfast options from savory continental breakfast, omelets, hot pressed breakfast panini, as well as sweet delights like french toast and crepes. For lunch we have a large selection of panini, pastas, full sized salads and hearty soups.

We offer several classic Portuguese dishes from our Caldo Verde soup, Bifana panini, our special Bife à Portuguesa, and our specially made Linguiça. We have cold refreshments, local beer, wine, sangria, and mimosas for the full brunch experience. Save room for our decadent desserts such as our caramel bread pudding or our locally famous Napoleon and Pasteis de Natas.

Petiscos

399 S 1st St, San Jose, CA 95113

1614 Alum Rock Ave, San Jose, CA 95116

Petiscos is a casual restaurant by Michelin-star restaurant ADEGA, focusing on small plates for the table to share. Petiscos and tapas both have their roots in the Iberian Peninsula.

Tapas are better known in Spain and petiscos in Portugal. They are smaller, sharable plates of traditional dishes. Indulge in these exquisite offerings at two prime locations – one in the vibrant downtown scene and another in the heart of charming Little Portugal.

Natas Pastries

13317 Ventura Blvd, Suit D, Sherman Oaks, CA 91423

Founded by Fatima Marques nearly two decades ago in Los Angeles, Natas Pastries emerged from her quest to find authentic Portuguese "Pasteis de Nata". Specializing in traditional Portuguese cuisine and pastries, Natas became a beloved fixture in the city's food scene. Over the years, it evolved from a bakery into a full-service restaurant, offering an array of dishes from Chicken Piri-Piri to classic seafood specialities like "Caldeirada" and many codfish dishes. Open from Friday to Sunday, Natas invites diners to savor the flavors of Portugal with every bite, complemented by a selection of Portuguese wines and beers.

Barra Santos

1215 Cypress Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90065
Barra Santos is a Portuguese bar and restaurant from Last Word Hospitality, known locally for properties like Found Oyster and destination spot Red Dog Saloon out in Pioneertown.

Chef/partner Melissa López (Bestia, Barbuto) runs the kitchen inside the cozy, narrow restaurant, which echoes the look and feel of East Hollywood seafood hit Found Oyster, including some sidewalk seating and lots of exposed brick and wood. As for López's food, expect salt cod fritters, bifana pork sandwich, and the classic piri piri chicken with lemon.

Nuno’s Bistro

2440 W Arrow Route #4a, Upland, CA 91786

Nuno's Bistro & Bar offers a contemporary dining experience with an enticing menu featuring upscale European tapas, pizzas, and mains, complemented by a selection of crafted Signature Cocktails and an extensive selection of European wines. The culinary journey takes you through diverse flavors, showcasing dishes like the Piri Piri Chicken, tracing its roots back to Portugal's colonial days in Africa.

The Queijo Da Serra, a sweet cream pudding with a cookie crumble topping, provides a delightful conclusion to the meal, resembling cheesecake but with a distinct lightness.

Beyond the culinary delights, Nuno's Bistro & Bar captivates with its eye-catching decor. The large panoramic photo of the Douro, Portugal's largest river, adds a touch of authenticity and visual appeal.

Described as a hidden gem and recognized as the "Best European Restaurant" in the Inland Empire for three consecutive years, Nuno's Bistro & Bar promises a unique and worthwhile dining experience.
