Restaurante Espaco Lisboa

This tiny two-story restaurant, located in a traditional Chinese village house just off the main square of Colôane Village (Vila Colôane), is popular with the locals for its country-style Portuguese food. It offers so many great choices it's hard to know where to start. Fried codfish cakes, an assortment of Portuguese sausages, or the sauteed clams with garlic and coriander are a good launch to a feast here, followed, perhaps, by the traditional Portuguese cabbage soup. For the main course, which comes with side dishes, you might opt for the African chicken with garlic, onions, chili, ginger, and coconut milk sauce served with gratineed potatoes and mixed salad, or the tenderloin steak Portuguese style, fried with garlic and white wine and served with Portuguese honey ham, fried egg, and potatoes. And to top it all off? How about banana ice cream, served with rum au flambe? In nice weather, you may want to sit at one of the three tables outside on the tiny balcony, where you can look upon ancient tiled roofs and listen to the click of mah-jongg tiles.
