🌟 Michelin Portuguese Food near SJ Convention Center 🍽️🇵🇹

Just tried Petiscos "Downtown" – a Michelin-recognized Portuguese gem right by the San Jose Convention Center! 🏆 Here’s the tasty breakdown: 🐙 Octopus Oven Roasted in Olive Oil So tender and flavorful! No rubbery texture or fishy taste – just perfectly cooked with a delicate smoky aroma. Definitely a highlight! 🔥 🍚 Seafood Rice Rich and savory with a nice kick of cilantro – honestly reminded me of Chaoshan-style seafood clay pot porridge! 😋 Sadly, the portion was pretty small… wish there was more! 🥧 Pastel de Nata Big disappointment here 😔… Way too sweet, lacking that classic eggy and creamy flavor. I’ve yet to find a truly great Portuguese egg tart in the US! The vibe was lively and the place was packed – clearly popular among locals and visitors alike. They’ve got the 2024 Michelin logo displayed proudly, and I can see why… at least for the savory dishes! 📍 Petiscos "Downtown" A solid spot for Portuguese bites if you’re in the area – especially after a event at the convention center. Maybe skip the desserts though! 👌 Perfect for: business dinners, date night, foodies exploring San Jose. #Foodie #PortugueseFood #MichelinEats #SanJoseEats #BayAreaFood #TravelUSA #FoodReview #ConventionCenterEats
