I love this place. It's intimate, romantic and serve really delicious Portuguese cuisine. The service is as professional as your going to find on Long Island. From the bread basket & spicy pickled olives to wonderful entrees and odd, but yummy desserts Lareira achieves greatness. Look at my plate of seafood how could one not enjoy that? Oh, they threw in a pair of empanadas on the house! This is place has always ranked high with me and this dinner reaffirmed why it's such a gem.
The food is wonderful here at this long time Mineola old school Portuguese restaurant. Nearly as good as the food is in Lisbon, the cooks here know what they're doing. I been coming here many years and the menu has changed. They no longer offer the braised rabbit, however, I came on a lucky night. I asked if they had rabbit in the kitchen and they had it. Score! They still have a nice selection of meat and seafood dishes, not so much rodizio, more like home cooking. Service is welcoming and helpful. Prices are a bit high but the quality of the cooking will forgive the $70 and up tabs. A great place to come for dinner and highly recommended.
My family has been frequenting Lareira for over 30 years for its charming old world setting and wonderful Portugese menu and friendly staff.Was there last weekend and with friends and started with wonderful Sangria with the Portugese chips and olives in spiced olive oil and grilled shrimp in Garlic sauce. I had the Duck which is always good, my wife had stuffed flounder with crabmeat an shrimp. Guests had Mariscada in green sauce and another fish dish which was good to the last drop. We will continue to return to Lareira!
