“As a Portuguese man myself, I very highly recommend all of O Tuga's specialities on the menu, although I hold a special place in my heart for the custard tarts! I've had custard tarts all my life and in different countries, I can say I actually prefer these ones in Melbourne than the original ones in Belém. The foods served always taste like they're homemade, and whenever I grab their pork sandwich or the grilled chicken, brings back memories from our home country.”
