• Portuguese • Warehouse District

Booked 37 times today

34 is Chef Emeril Lagasse’s first restaurant dedicated to the cuisine of his Portuguese heritage. He was inspired by his late mother, Hilda, who influenced his interest in cooking when he was a child growing up in Fall River, MA. The 245-seat restaurant is adorned in shades of green – Emeril’s signature color – wood accents and ornate Portuguese tiles. A painting of a rooster, a national Portuguese symbol of good luck, greets guests at the entrance. Once inside, a jamon bar with countertop service and tile-clad DJ booth are focal points of the space. The restaurant celebrates not only the food and design of Portugal but also the sounds, with music from local and touring DJs.

From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, everyone was attentive, friendly, and fantastic. Every dish we had was better than the next. Chef Lagasse was on hand to make the experience even more special. Can’t wait to go back and sample more of the outstanding food, service, and sangria.
