Chappa corner cafe

The back room serves Portuguese food like grilled fish and bacalhau, while the front turns into a late-night club with reggaeton and sertanejo after dark. It works for an early family dinner and a late night out, depending on when you go.

Families come through during the day and pricing sits on the inexpensive side. Arrive earlier in the evening rather than late at night, when the room shifts toward a club crowd.

The menu centers on Portuguese seafood, with polvo a lagareiro, bacalhau a chappa and fresh grilled fish as the signature plates. Dessert runs to a Portuguese-style creme brulee.
