THE HANDS BEHIND THE HERITAGE
Rodrigo Duarte — known as Don Rodrigo — brings his Portuguese farming roots and expertise in butchery and charcuterie to Borralho.
His approach starts with the whole animal and ends with something worth gathering around.

OUR PORTUGUESE ROOTS

From artisan charcuterie to cooking over fire, our table brings Portuguese tradition to Newark. Come for the food. Stay for the stories.
