About

Opened in late 2025 in Nolita, this celebration of Portuguese cuisine hopped right onto this year’s “Spots of the Summer” List from Infatuation as well as their list of “Most Fun Spots in NY.” From gardening to raising animals to baking, Chef David Santos was immersed in every aspect of food as the son of Portuguese immigrants. After graduating from Johnson & Wales’ esteemed culinary program, he worked at Bouley, Per Se, and Foxface, ultimately launching Um Segredo, a series of supper clubs hosted at his Roosevelt Island home. In 2012, he opened Louro in the West Village to much acclaim. At Tashca, he is delighting diners with a menu that features grilled sardines, squid with plum piri-piri, branzino with bay leaf beurre blanc, whipped ricotta with mint and charred asparagus, not to mention an epic dessert like house-made goat milk ice cream with bay leaf, cinnamon, black pepper, goat milk caramel, and salted maple caramelized peanuts.
