Terroso — Restaurant in Cascais

Three of us had dinner at Terroso last night. For two of us it was our first time there and our Portuguese companion asked Pedro (the owner) to recommend a few dishes of his choice and we had a wonderful experience. Cheese, olives and bread as a starter accompanied by a fruity and light white wine, and a great red wine with the main courses.

Seems as if the boss is king and not the guest!!! While you're talking about the people at the next table: bet they were shocked about your behaviour and not ours!! Wishing you a profitable evening, where you find nevertheless time to put reservation signs on the table than to reply to...
