"First and second dishes... a 'Caldo Verde' soup and codfish cake. These two dishes are one of the most traditional dishes of Portugal and Tasca da Esquina makes them very well, but of course with a little twist."

"Caldo Verde starts a five-course meal perfectly. Good soup, quite creamy with kale that seems to be previously salted, and pieces of chorizo which give multidimensionality to the dish, and make it richer."

"Açorda de camarão was very delicious and light."
"For my surprise the third dish was one of my favorite of all time. It's a simple dish but when done right it can 'blow your mind'... It was shrimp's 'açorda' ('açorda' is mixed bread). This dish was very well executed, perfection."
"Açorda de Camarão was also very good. It tasted great and the shrimps were perfectly cooked and there was a generous number of them."
"The tasting menu was divine, including, among other things, açorda de camarão."
