For a cosy atmosphere and quality food, head down to Portobelle. The place serves Greek, Italian and Mexican fare. With value for money servings, this quaint restaurant is a great place to hang out with friends or to go for a first date. The draw is in the food itself. Lunch specials are at $9.50* (*Prices range from $7.90 onwards). Or have the wonderfully light Greek salad with feta cheese. For dinner, start with the Antipasti Grande. It has a delightful variety of artichokes, baked mussles, salami and grilled eggplant with balsamic vinegar. Then go for the generous portion of Fettucini Marinara or the Burrito de Carne. Pizza lovers can expect a good variety of authentic Italian pizza. For desserts, you'd die for the special Magarita Sherbet, which is lime sherbet with tequila. |
This tiny Mediterranean al fresco spot is just off Orchard Road seats only 24, and Caesar Tan, the chef-proprietor, treats all his customers like good friends. Trained in Switzerland and with 20 years of hotel experience behind him, Tan is a charming host. His menu is both light and inexpensive. Portobelle is your best alternative to a quiet home-cooked meal. This petit place offers no pretensions to grandeur, just good food at good prices. |
