Taberna LX

An outstanding, elevated taste of my heritage! Taberna LX gets every detail right! 🥰 As a child of Portuguese immigrants, I grew up with these classic flavors, but the way Taberna LX reimagines, prepares, and presents each dish completely blew us away. Our first culinary experience here was nothing short of extraordinary. The service from start to finish was welcoming and attentive, but a massive thank you goes to Richard, our server. He was incredibly kind, engaging, and genuinely enthusiastic about helping us navigate the menu. Every single recommendation he made was completely spot-on! The fine dining touches throughout the evening made a huge impression: Attentive Beverage Service: Having bottles kept in a wine cooler—even for our sparkling water—and poured for us throughout the meal. Classy Cutlery Service: Bringing fresh cutlery in a presentable box so that I, as the customer, was the very first person to handle the utensils. Thoughtful Details: Right down to the washrooms, which smelled divine with a unique fragrance imported from Portugal, complete with luxury, thick hand towels. The Food: Shrimp Mozambique: An absolute MUST-ORDER! Make sure to eat each piece whole with all its components—the harmony of flavors is unbelievable. I accidentally dropped the cilantro leaf off my first piece onto the plate, and when I ate the second one with the leaf, the entire bite transformed. That tiny cilantro leaf plays a massive role in pulling all the rich, spicy flavors together. Octopus Salad: Beautifully fresh, perfectly tender, and balanced so well with red onion, peppers, and parsley. Salt Cod Fritters (Bacalhau): Golden, crispy on the outside, light on the inside, and paired beautifully with their tartare sauce. Roasted Cod: Tender, flaky cod elevated with marrare sauce, presunto, and cherry tomatoes. A masterful spin on classic bacalhau. Sandwich Francesinha: Rich, comforting, and decadent with steak, mortadella, chouriço, and a fried egg smothering the bread in that signature sauce. Broken Rapini: A perfect side dish—the bitterness of the rapini complemented by white beans and rich olive oil. Pão de Ló (Portuguese creamy sponge cake): A stunning finale! Presented wrapped in paper at the table and opened to reveal warm cake topped with rich bay leaf ice cream—the presentation and taste were unbelievable. Taberna LX strikes the perfect balance between high-end hospitality and authentic Portuguese soul. Exceptional food, classy touches, and fantastic service. 10/10! We will definitely be back!

We had an amazing experience at this Portuguese restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, with authentic flavors that reminded us of home. Every dish was fresh, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. What really made our visit special was the outstanding service. The staff were incredibly warm, attentive, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and made us feel like valued guests. If you’re looking for delicious Portuguese cuisine, a cozy atmosphere, and exceptional customer service, I highly recommend this restaurant. We will definitely be back!

I recently had the pleasure of taking my cousins and their family out for dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, Taberna LX, and once again it delivered an unforgettable experience. From the moment we sat down, our server, Jewel, took outstanding care of our table. She was attentive, professional, and truly helped make the evening special. The appetizers were exceptional. The Shrimp Mozambique, Meat Croquettes, and Ham Pillows were full of flavor and perfectly paired with a beautiful white wine. Every bite reflected the care and quality that goes into the ingredients and preparation. For the main courses, we enjoyed the Francesinha, Seafood Rice, and Cod Fish, and each dish was simply outstanding. The flavors, presentation, and consistency were everything you hope for in a great dining experience. To finish the evening, we shared the Pão de Ló and Coconut Sorbet, which provided the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. What made the evening even more memorable was seeing my cousins truly enjoy not only the food but the entire experience. From the carefully selected ingredients and talented kitchen team to the attentive service, everything came together beautifully. A special thank you to Aaron and his team for consistently delivering such an exceptional experience. It’s restaurants like this that remind us that dining is about much more than food it’s about creating memories. This is definitely an experience worth repeating, and I look forward to many more visits.

First time came here because of the good reviews. Very close to our favorite sushi joint MSSM. Every dish we tried was delicious and excellent ! The chef was Asian and went to Macau a lot. We could recognize some of the flavors that are similar to the Macau cuisines. The olive cake with bay leaf ice cream tastes marvelous. Highly recommended!

Second time visiting Taberna and we got the best seat in the house. Very good selection of seafood- love the salt cod fritters, octopus salad (first time more fresh than second but still good), sea bass, fries and the white asparagus with tempura bites was a great side. Would love to come back for the patio!
