Aldea
Description
On the edge of Manhattan's Union Square neighborhood, you can find Michelin-starred Aldea, the first restaurant from chef George Mendes (Bouley, Wallsé). Aldea (a take on the Portuguese word for village) was designed to pay homage to the chef's heritage while evoking a relaxed, coastal vibe. Mendes returns to his roots with an approachable, satisfying menu that strikes a balance between modern techniques and classic flavors influenced by Spain, France and Portugal, including such items as arroz de pato, dry-cured Portuguese ham and several seafood options.
