Cozy and elegant Portuguese bar and restaurant serving
superb Portuguese cuisine in the West Village.
Alfama is a whose bright blue-and-white exterior and decor
lure passers-by. Great appetizers like crispy cod cakes
and oily, tender sardines marinated in red pepper-and-onion
vinaigrette and the baked codfish with onions, vegetables
and mashed potatoes is a must, or cook it yourself thick
filet mignon on a hot stone. For the grand finally, the
puddings and a flavorful Cascais, a mix of Irish whiskey,
Godiva liqueur, Chambord and cream.
