Every place here cooks honest food — the kind a kitchen spends real time on. What I go back to is the recommendation, and I say when something famous is a waste of your money — the food hall in Porto's train station, most of the sushi in San Francisco.
Wine works the same way: what I buy again is the recommendation.
