Adega is a Portuguese restaurant in the Little Portugal neighborhood of San Jose, California. In 2016 it became the city's first restaurant to be awarded a Michelin star.

History[]

Adega (Portuguese for "wine cellar")[1] opened in late 2015 as a cafe.[2] It is located in the Little Portugal neighborhood of San Jose, and replaced Sousa's, also a Portuguese restaurant, which had occupied the building for 33 years.[3] The owners are Carlos and Fernanda Carreira, who are wine importers and local residents; the chefs are their daughter Jessica Carreira, a patissier, and her husband David Costa, who met while working at , a two Michelin star restaurant in Lisbon.[4][5] The restaurant serves traditional Portuguese food.

In September 2020, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the Adega team announced that they would be opening a casual-dining restaurant in the SoFA District of downtown San Jose.[6]

Michelin star[]

In October 2016 Adega was awarded a Michelin star,[7] the first for a restaurant in San Jose and the second for a Portuguese restaurant in the US;[1][8][9] Carreira, 23 years old, is also one of the youngest chefs to receive the award, and one of few women.[10]

The restaurant retained its star in 2017 but lost it in 2018;[11] it regained it in 2021.[12][13]
