Dining out is an something we wholeheartedly miss. But with its extensive menu containing an incredible assortment of Portuguese tapas, take out from @petiscosadega sure felt like a culinary adventure. From the Michelin award winning team of Adega, this more casual, small plate restaurant occupies the corner of San Jose’s SoFA District which was previously home to patron favorites like Agenda, Bayonne, First to Market and most recently Tac-oh. Judging from the quality of our meal we can see this tenant being around for years to come. We tried some of the less “common” items on fine dining menus such as gizzards and pig’s ear salad which we enjoyed as much as the beef, cuttlefish and green beans. Word of advice...eat your take out deep fried items quickly! They are fried perfectly but don’t hold up so great after cooling down in sealed plastic to go containers. (We popped then in our air fryer to get them back to crispy deliciousness). Already mentioned, the gizzards are melt in your mouth tender with a very strong herb flavor. Just as the octopus at Adega shows up in most reviews, the chefs’ comfort with this ocean protein is impossible to overlook. We tried the roasted tentacle and the octopus salad and both were fantastic. We will be back to work our way through more of the menu as soon as we can. It is definitely going to be one our first visits when it is safe to return to in person dining. #svca #siliconvalley #conciergepick #food #octopus #portuguesefood #petiscos #tapas #dtsj #sofadistrict #dinelocal #foodieadventure #michelinintraining (at SoFA District) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKrZkhGjERO/?igshid=aebpmaj8rqsb
