Heritage Spotlight
The Portuguese Soul of Fall River
Fall River is home to one of the largest Portuguese-American communities in the United States. From smoky chouriço and freshly baked massa sovada to garlicky bacalhau and warm pastéis de nata, the city's tables tell a story of generations who crossed the Atlantic and made this riverfront their home.
Skip the chains. These are the family kitchens and bakeries our guests come back for — authentic Portuguese cuisine you'd usually have to fly to Lisbon to find.
