"Dalí" is a restaurant whose concept is - following Dalí's paintings - to serve surreally creative and good food. They have a menu of starters and main dishes inspired by world cuisine - Portugal, Spain, Brazil, France, Italy, Argentina, etc.
For me, the best choice is to go there and taste a bit of everything! Especially if you are going to share the dishes. The staff is very kind and always willing to help with the menu and give recommendations. The starter "Camarão no Varal" that I ate there was amazing and I guess I can say it was one of the best things I already tasted. It is basically some shrimps served in a miniature clothes line.... sounds crazy, right? Well.. trust in the surrealism concept ;)
Another plus: they have a terrific drink menu and some craft beers which were served at the perfect temperature last time I was there.
The place is small, so I recommend that you make a reservation (!). They usually have some spots with discounts on the food menu via The Fork app!
