Sancho

Frommer's Review

Sancho is a cozy rustic-style restaurant with classic Iberian decor -- beamed ceiling, fireplace, leather-and-wood chairs, and stucco walls. In summer it has air-conditioning. Fish gratinée soup is a classic way to begin. Shellfish, always expensive, is the specialty. Main dishes are likely to include the chef's special hake or pan-broiled Portuguese steak. If your palate is fireproof, order churrasco de cabrito ao piri-piri (goat with pepper sauce). For dessert, sample the crêpes suzette or perhaps chocolate mousse. This is a longtime (since 1962) local favorite, and the recipes never change. As a waiter explained, "As long as we can keep the dining room full every night, why change?"
