At a time when spaces are focusing on long menus and bold combinations, there is a new restaurant in Lisbon that challenges this trend. At Cais do Sodré, Blade bets everything on a single dish and promises to win over meat lovers with a simple and straightforward concept.
Blade is the latest restaurant in Lisbon and comes with a bold idea: the mono dish. The proposal is clear: a menu focused on a single main dish, accompanied by garnishes and drinks carefully designed to complete the experience, according to the Portuguese lifestyle magazine Magg.
The protagonist is the Blade Steak, a steak selected with precision and grilled to the perfect doneness, at the customer’s choice: rare, medium or well done.
The art of accompanying a good steak
This new restaurant isn’t limited to meat. The menu includes side dishes designed in detail, such as double-fried potatoes with dried rosemary, mashed potatoes with truffle butter and crunchy sprinkles, mushroom rice with mushroom foam and parmesan, and even spread with cream, nutmeg and parmesan.
To top it off, there are three classic sauces that enhance the flavor of the meat: Pepper, Bearnaise and Truffle Mayonnaise.
Starter and dessert? The house offers
One of the most curious (and tempting) details at Blade, according to the same source, is that both the starter and dessert are on offer. At the end of the meal, each customer receives a token that they can exchange for a dessert, usually an ice cream, making the final moment more fun and unexpected.
Affordable prices and relaxed atmosphere
Blade bets on balanced prices. The famous Blade Steak costs €10, side dishes vary between €1 and €3, beers between €3 and €5, and wines (red and white) between €10 and €41. Cocktails have a fixed price of €9, and house sodas cost €3.50.
The atmosphere, relaxed but considered elegant by many, reflects the modern spirit of Cais do Sodré, suitable for those who want a practical, tasty meal with a touch of originality.
