Silvas Restaurant

Petersham’s ultimate tasca experience. Loud, boisterous, utterly brilliant. Sydney’s culinary crowd points straight to this lively dining room for the real deal—a deeply authentic hit of Portugal right in the Inner West. Expect massive, uncompromisingly flavorful portions. Char-grilled BBQ octopus packed with smoky depth. Juicy spatchcock. The legendary porco à alentejana cut perfectly with fermented veggies. Purists chasing true-to-roots bacalhau will find exactly what they’re after here. It gets noisy. It gets chaotic. But that bustling, family-style energy is exactly why you go. Book ahead, order the house-special garlic prawns—and save plenty of soft bread for dipping.
