My great grandmother was an amazing cook as well and I was always in the kitchen with him as a young kid , Melissa and I have been friends now for several years , I had asked her if she wanted to come work with me and open a Portuguese restaurant and she looked at me and asked me what the hell is Portuguese food ? And so we decided to go to Portugal and eat our way through Lisbon , came back to L A , read every Portuguese cookbook I could find and this is my version of Portuguese food . I think for me , the menu is meant to be shared .
Thank you . Barris Santos is a small restaurant wine bar in Cypress Park that serves Portuguese food and Portuguese wine with a little bit of Spanish peppered in . It's a little homage to my culture .
So this is a peri peri sauce . Portuguese sauce has bird's eye chili . We put a bell pepper in ours a little bit of Fresno chili .
It's a little homage to my culture . I emigrated from Portugal when I was five and grew up on the east coast in a lot of Portuguese communities , eating and drinking Portuguese food through most of my life . And I wanted to bring some of that to L A .
