Authentic Portuguese Delight: A Chicken Lover's Paradise

If you're craving authentic Portuguese cuisine, look no further than Cambrense. This cozy eatery was a delightful discovery for our office, thanks to the keen recommendation of one of our agents. Our Saturday lunch reservation was a must, as the demand for their delectable chicken is so high that they often sell out within an hour!

Let's talk about the star of the show: the chicken. Tender, flavorful, and simply irresistible, it's no wonder why it flies off the plates so quickly. The portion sizes are beyond generous, as evidenced by the plate in front of my assistant Mary, which seemed almost as large as her! Alongside the mouthwatering chicken, we were treated to sides of crispy french fries, perfectly fried chunks of potato in clean oil. While the broccoli was a tad overcooked and the rice only average, the salad provided a refreshing contrast with its freshness and flavor.

To complement our meal, we indulged in both the house wine and the exquisite Portuguese red wine, which elevated the dining experience to another level. And let's not forget dessert – the hot dessert cakes were a heavenly finale to our feast. Despite my temptation to have seconds, I managed to contain myself, knowing that the espresso awaited me, boasting a delightful hint of spice that left a lasting impression.

The award-winning culinary experience didn't stop there; we savored an after-dinner drink alongside the irresistible custard cakes, further solidifying our resolve to return to this gastronomic gem. In summary, Cambrense offers a true taste of Portugal that's bound to leave you craving more. Count me in for another visit – I'm already...
