Little Portugal’s culinary landmark opened eight years ago
Two days before the Michelin Guide International announces its coveted 2023 stars for excellence in dining, the owners of Adega — San Jose’s only starred establishment — announced they will close the restaurant permanently on its eighth anniversary and pivot to focus on their more casual concept, Petiscos.
Adega, which opened ion 2015 in the city’s Little Portugal neighborhood, will close Dec. 16, owners Carlos and Fernanda Carreira said. They will transform that flagship restaurant into their second Petiscos in early 2024; the first Petiscos opened in downtown San Jose in November of 2020. “Adega demands a lot from everyone. Constantly creating new dishes and menus needs 100% dedication and physical presence from our team,” Carlos Carreira said Sunday in an interview. “We feel that by focusing on expanding Petiscos to other markets we cannot dedicate the time that Adega requires and deserves from all of us and the chefs.”
The announcement by the Carreiras won’t affect Tuesday night’s Michelin announcement because the star decisions have already been made.
