Restaurante Cesaria Description:
On a bitter New England winter's day, we escape to…Dorchester? You bet---it's home to Cesaria, which promptly whisks us off in turn to the Mediterranean and the tropical Atlantic at once. Cape Verdean cuisine is a hybrid of Portuguese and West African cookery; this yellow-walled, island-paced eatery does it exceedingly well. We'd tell you to start with garlicky grilled octopus or the surprise that is deep-fried, sherried quail, but signatures like the egg-topped katchupada refugada, crammed with pork and linguiça, beans and kale, or the goat-potato stew known as cabritada, are just too delish to pass up---and too substantial to allow room for much else. Instead, then, we'll just tell you to make multiple trips.
