NileGuide Expert tip:
The octopus feijoada does not actually appear on the menu, but is a favourite order among regular guests. Just ask the waiter for the 'feijoada com polvo'.
Description:
A little off the tourist trail, Barracuda enjoys a great location by the Marina da Gloria. Against a backdrop of bobbing boats, diners can enjoy traditional Portuguese dishes, with an emphasis on seafood. A great starter option involves salted cod grated with pureed potato, while good mains include a special feijoada made with octopus, white wine and white beans. Save a little room if you can, because the platter of mixed mini-desserts is not to be missed.
