Our Story

Taste Of Portuguese's tale began long before we opened our doors. It began in our family’s kitchens, where food was more than just nourishment, it was a way of honouring life, tradition and community. Growing up surrounded by the warmth of home cooked Portuguese meals, we were taught that excellent food is about more than simply the ingredients; it is about love, passion and community.

When we moved to Sydney, we noticed that the real flavours of Portugal were lacking. So we decided to design a space where we could bring those flavours to life. At Taste Of Portuguese, we have created an environment in which each dish tells a story, emphasising the simplicity and essence of Portuguese cuisine.
Our mission is to share our heritage with Sydney, offering a warm, welcoming environment where people can experience the rich traditions of Portugal through every bite. This is more than just food, it is our culture on a plate.
