Terrazza Cascais

So this place opened just recently, I think they said in August of this year. They’re right next door to Shabu Shabu the sushi joint, and on the 2^nd floor of a main building, so you have to take steps up from the ground level in order to find the entrance.
They have an outdoor patio as well as indoor seating. We sat outside.
This restaurant is the only place in Portugal I’ve found where they serve whipped butter, so you can actually spread it on bread and other things; novel.
All the appetizers were top notch. The olives were tasty, the parmesan slices were great, and the bread didn’t taste of bland starch. Like most places, you will pay for everything, you have to tell them if you don’t want the bread, cheese, butter, etc.
This place bills itself as a steak house and man do they deliver. Everything that came to the table was super tender and perfectly prepared. I was a bit skeptical about how things would turn out, but no worries here.
The house special steak is served with «special sauce» consisting of brandy, cheese, and something else flavorful. The portuguese aged fillet and the french loin were both great as well. I didn’t get very far trying to ask the servers what cuts of beef these actually were. My best guess is that the portuguese aged fillet is a ribeye cut and I had a harder time trying to figure out the other two.
I got the stuffed baked potatoes with cheese and they were fantastic.
All steaks were in the 12 – 20 euro range. Not sure how this compares to other steak places in Cascais but I’d expect to pay around $ 50 USD in the states for a comparable steak.
I thoroughly enjoyed my meal.
