Menus

Our menu features great and original recipes by Manuel da Silva who opened this kitchen in 1987.  If you enjoy Portuguese Cuisine, you’ve probably tried one of his recipes. These dishes are the true Portuguese recipes that created the famed Ironbound Portuguese Restaurants. Manuel had been a head chef in Newark since 1969 when he brought his uniqueness and creativity to South River. Today he continues the same recipes and traditions with his children, ensuring that the culture and beloved Portuguese cuisine will continue for many generations to come.
