It’s no secret that Brazil is home to a large Japanese diaspora, but rarely does that clash of cultures fuse as elegantly as at Salta, a dimly-lit space that effortlessly weaves you in and out of the colorfully carnal and modestly maritime.
Throw in chef Tomaz Reis’ Mexican heritage, and you’ve also got the best-tasting guacamole in town, a game-changing ingredient in many of Salta’s deceptively complex dishes: but if there’s one thing you absolutely shouldn’t miss, it’s the duck croquettes with an accompanying plum sauce.
It’s for all of these reasons that I dubbed Salta “the best restaurant nobody had told me about” back when I first discovered it, and thanks to its relentlessly hardworking team, it remains one of the very best dinner destinations in Lisbon, regularly reinventing its menu and unafraid to kill popular dishes in pursuit of new, uncharted terrain.
