Read MoreAfter spending a lazy, sun-filled and fun-filled afternoon at Horseneck Beach in Westport, we decided to treat ourselves to a delicious Portuguese meal at Sagres Restaurant in Fall River.
Four of us arrived at 5 PM on a Sunday evening, and we appreciated being seated immediately without a reservation. The soft Portuguese rolls were aplenty – enough to feed a small army, lol! Our bottled wine and pistachio martini came minutes after being ordered.
Our waitress was engaging, personable, and very helpful with appetizer and entree recommendations. And though the restaurant was already buzzing with guests, our food came out in a very timely manner.
For an appetizer, we started with the house made soft cheese and spicy red pepper sauce. The cheese was creamy and buttery and the red pepper sauce had just the right amount of kick! We were ever-so-thankful for the abundance of rolls which came particularly handy while indulging in the cheese.
For entrees, we ordered the duck, the salmon, the octopus, and the corning hen. Portions were generous and everything was tasty! We were especially impressed with the grilled octopus. Not only was it tender and perfectly charred, but there was A LOT of octopus, unlike other restaurants that provide a minimal serving of octopus supplemented by sides.
Bellies full and hearts fuller, we passed on dessert and settled the bill, which amounted to about $60 per person (for one shared appetizer, 4 entrees, a bottle of wine, and one martini.) For the portions and quality of the food, we thought that the prices were very reasonable.
While we have plenty of good food in the Somerville/Boston area, we are always pleasantly surprised with the Portuguese food in Fall River. We highly recommend Sagres, and we can’t wait to visit there again!
