My wife and I had another wonderful dinner at Aldea. Michelin starred Chef Mendes was his usual bery hospitable, engaging self and the food and service were excellent. I especially recommend the farm egg appetizer (so good I had two) and the diver sea scallops entree. My wife loved the shrimp alhinho appetizer and the suckling pig entree. We’ll be back very soon for another great meal.

George Mendes was a Food and Wine best new chef a few years ago and he hasn’t lost his touch. I chose to go with the prix fixe four course dinner and every one was a winner. The salt cod and egg custard with crispy potatoes shreds was a gem. The flavors and textures of both the octopus dish and the duck confit dish were interesting and delicious. Dessert involved chocolate and banana - a winning combination. Service was excellent. I dined alone but never felt ignored. Highly recommended!!!

Food is good. Service is fair. Price is well above of average. Arroz de pato is well made while desserts are not amazing.

I took my partner to NY for her 40th and was recommended this Portuguese fusion restaurant by a friend and it did not disappoint. The service was excellent from the initial contact over email not to mention once we arrived. The staff knew the menu inside out and were able to compliment our dishes with the perfect wine choice!
I can seriously recommend you visit this little gem when you visit NY.

Absolutely great. Food was amazing. Delicate flavors balance each other out. The chef is very creative with classic dishes. The foie gras melts in your mouth, the grilled octopus will surprise you and the bacalhau will amaze you. Only negative was the service which was not as attentive as should be for a One Star Michelin restaurant. We had to wait for our wine which arrived after our dishes arrived and they were out of the wine we originally ordered. Still I would recommend this restaurant and will return when in NYC again
