TUGA Portuguese Restaurant

TUGA Restaurant is more than just a wine shop and wine bar. The food is top-notch, classic Portuguese flavours that make for a very wine-friendly cuisine, and this place over-delivers on what you’d expect from a neighbourhood restaurant in a residential area.

The signature dishes are perhaps the best Portuguese cuisine in town,​ and you can pair it with fabulous Portuguese wine, hand-selected by the owner Carlos Couto. The friendly staff always welcomes you with their kind hospitality.

There is no actual wine list, but they have a bright wine-retail space; TUGA imports their own wine and the selection has a focus on Portuguese wines, particularly from Douro, Alentejo and Dão.

Apart from well-known producers like Niepoort, you might also find plenty of tasty bottles from smaller wineries such as Quinta de Saes and Pegos Claros from Palmela. This is a truly great place to discover a new vision of the Portuguese dining experience. And​ don’t forget to drink a glass of Madeira before you leave!
