Judy Joo Instagram – I recently visited @lisboeta.london on Charlotte Street, and it was like stepping into a slice of Lisbon life right in the heart of London. At Chef Patron Nuno Mendes’ culinary haven, every dish tells his personal story showcasing Lisbon’s rich culture and gastronomic heritage. Chef Nuno is just the nicest person too! I adore him!
The highlight of my experience was Nuno’s twist on a classic pastel de nata, but turned savory– a prawn nata! I love raw seafood and pastel de natas, so this dish was right up my alley. This little cute tart housed a silky slightly sweet prawn custard topped with a totally delish smoked red prawn tartare.
It was reminiscent of a prawn rissois, a fried Portugese turnover stuffed with creamy shrimp, and apparently the inspiration for this yummy bite.
Lisboeta is Chef Nuno’s love letter to his home country, offering an authentic taste of the city’s lifestyle and traditions, but with exciting and surprising twists and turns.
Lisboeta feels and tastes cozy… the food says, “Bem-vindo à nossa casa” – welcome to our home.
