TOP is a local favorite, with great variety of authentic Portuguese food.
The restaurant is pretty big, on one side they have the bar section, and on the other side it’s the dine in tables seating area. The bar area is more popular during the busy hours.
Their menu is pretty long, with options covering chicken, seafood, beef, lamb and fishes. I got to try the garlic chicken and grilled swordfish. Chicken was really good, garlic sauce the delicious. But the swordfish was not up to the mark for me. I was expecting a better sauce with it. They give huge pieces of vegetables too with the main course.
Street parking is really hard to find around the restaurant, so prepare to drive around for a while.

Every single dish. How can a restaurant hit on every single dish?!? Absolutely amazing.
Oysters amazing. Filet on stone amazing. Paella amazing. Desserts amazing. Service amazing. Thank you!

A small parking lot is located across the street from the entrance. When you first walk in you enter into the bar seating area and there is separate dining room with a nice decor. Service was great. Food was very fresh, but we were disappointed that the seafood Mariscada came with white rice instead of yellow saffron rice and there were no fried potato slices. At all other restaurants that we have ordered this dish from, they have served saffron rice and papas fritas. Red Sangria, boar sausages, salad and tiramisu were all great.

6/5
Amazing food, amazing desserts but the show stopper were the two waiters holding down the entire restaurant with ease. Quality at every opportunity. No higher praise necessary.

Taste of Portugal is exactly what it sounds like. I found this gem when flying out of EWR years ago and love it to this day. Service & food are top notch. Get the sampler appetizer and give anything on the menu a try!

A cozy authentic neighborhood restaurant with delicious Portuguese meals, generous portions and non pushy servers. I look forward to returning very soon to enjoy all the many pleasurable sights and selections.

Good meal. Boar was a bit over cooked. Otherwise a very nice meal. Nice selection of specials. Nice wine list. Attentive staff.

Ordered a surf and turf and the lobster left a bleach taste in my mouth, served with salad and no dressing had to ask for oil and vinegar. Not being satisfied I ordered another appetizer and while I was being served the servers asked the rest of the table the desert order. My son ordered a plain cheesecake and instead of the server coming out saying they did not have any he brought out a strawberry one. So felt like we were being rushed to leave. Definitely not worth the prices.

The food was great. Food was not brought out at the same time. There were times when they were clearing the plates off the table and I had to stop them. Time for coffee and desert table of 5 we got our desert and waited quite awhile for our coffees. We did say something they were a little thrown back on our complaint. Also you never had the same waiter. Will I go back.. no

My husband & I went there today for lunch. We had the garlic shrimp which was perfect, shrimp was tender ad not too garlicky. Shared the Paella Valenciana which was a generous portion and the Sangria is one of the bests! We are having my son's baptism there next week and I can't wait!

The food was excellent! Our family of 4 enjoyed the Paella, Salmon, Ribs, and I enjoyed the Filet Mignon cooked to perfection on the stone. We shared and enjoyed the coconut Creme brûlée, chocolate. Cake, and cheesecake for dessert. It was all delicious. The service was excellent. I've eaten Filet at Emeril's, Gordon Ramsey's restaurant, and local high end eateries and this was by far one of THE BEST MEALS MY FAMILY HAS ENJOYED! I highly recommend. We were staying in Newark to catch a flight the next day and stumbled upon this place. I will definitely go back.
