Romantic Portuguese in the West Village
Alfama is not perfect. There have been times when I’ve found myself eating less than stellar specials, which for the price is pretty inexcusable. But the great list of Portuguese wines and the perfect execution of a number of standard dishes continue to draw me back here, as does the friendly management and good service. And it offers by far the best Portuguese food I’ve had in New York.
The classic dishes, like the bacalhau and mariscada, are good bets for entrees, and the tastiest – and most dramatic – way to start the meal is definitely with the chouriço flambéed tableside in aguardente. I rarely have room for dessert after a meal at Alfama, but, when I do, the pillowy meringue with fruit, called farófias de nata, is definitely the way to go.

Chouriço Assado com Aguardente
Dramatic, intense, smoky, charred, and bursting with flavor. This is Alfama’s signature dish, and with good reason.
-
Farófias de Nata
Cloud-like meringue piled into a cocktail glass with fruit. How could that help but be delicious?

Cinco Queijos à Escolha
Two or three of the cheeses were great, but the other two were nothing special. The bread that comes with it makes a nice vessel, though. It may only be disappointing to real cheese lovers – others may not want the adventure that this cheese plate lacks.
