Lareira Restaurant

About

Lareira is a family-owned Mineola restaurant serving Northern Portuguese cooking since 1982. Seafood anchors the menu, from cognac shrimp and clam cataplana to bacalhau, whole branzino and the house mariscada with lobster, shrimp, squid, clams and mussels. Roast duck with cherry-orange sauce, pork with clams and steak topped with ham and egg offer alternatives from the meat menu. The dining rooms and separate bar suit a sit-down lunch or dinner, with sangria and Portuguese wines alongside the food. Reviews often mention the welcoming family atmosphere and carefully prepared dishes, though experiences with portions and service vary.
