🇵🇹 Who hasn’t tried this $30-per-person "gout-inducing feast"?
This Portuguese restaurant near Newark Airport has been on my bucket list forever! 🏆 Known as the hottest spot in Newark’s Little Portugal, I finally got in after multiple failed attempts. When ordering the seafood platter (for two), I thought we’d need more food—but the server warned us: "Trust me, you won’t finish this." And boy, was she right. This "2-person" platter could easily feed ! 😱 🦞 The $82 Seafood Tower of Dreams A literal MOUNTAIN of seafood 🏔️—lobster, jumbo shrimp, scallops, mussels… and MORE lobster hiding underneath! Fresh, sweet, and ridiculously generous—this would cost $200+ in the city! Comes with hand-cut crispy chips (🔥) but the seafood rice was a bit too salty. 🍝 Bonus: Vodka Seafood Pasta Packed with 20+ shrimp 🍤 in a creamy, tangy vodka sauce. Worth every bite! 🦀 Last-Minute Add-On: Crab Cakes $18 for three, stuffed with shrimp & scallops—pricey but SO good! 🎶 Live Music & Vibes A band sang and played right at our table—the energy was unreal! 🎤🎹 No wonder this place is Newark’s spot! 📍 Valenca Restaurant 🚗 665 Monroe Ave, Elizabeth, NJ (right by Newark Airport) Final Verdict: Insane portions, insane flavor, insane fun. Bring a squad and prepare to feast! 🍽️💥 #PortugueseFoodNYC #NewarkEats #NewarkAirportFood #NJSeafood #NYCFoodie #LobsterLovers #JerseyCityEats #NewarkFoodScene #SeafoodHeaven #FoodComaWarning
