Press“The Portuguese-inspired Cypress Park petiscaria from Last Word Hospitality recently expanded their space from tiny to mid-sized, and is still wildly popular almost every night of the week. While they don’t do brunch per se, it’s open during the day on Saturday and Sunday, offering its full menu of savory dishes like head-on prawns with cracked chile, marjoram, and lime; piri piri chicken, and whole-roasted branzino. An impressive selection of natural wines, sherries, Madeira, and Basque vermuts are worth the trip alone.”
