Portugalia Tasca
Rotterdam, Netherlands
The read// why locals go
Portugalia Tasca brings charcoal grilling to the 2e Middellandstraat in Rotterdam, and churrasco is the whole argument. Meat and fish are marinated with piri piri, garlic and spices, then grilled slowly over coals until the outside carries smoke and the inside stays juicy — whole chickens and espetadas, the skewers Madeira sends out into the world, each with house sauces and fresh sides. The tasca is the traditional restaurant of the two concepts at this address; its sibling Churrasco & Co runs an all-you-can-eat grill next door. Independent local sources call it a neighbourhood favourite, and it is simple cooking done properly rather than reinvented.
