Chaves

The best Portuguese restaurant in Yonkers ! I have eaten here for 25 years and have NEVER had a bad meal. When you go, the dining room is not the entrance on Orchard street. The Orchard Street entrance is for the bar and only had a few tables in the back. The bar crowd are all regulars and nice folks but the upstairs bar is better left to them .

We ordered paella, chicken, and ribs from Chaves for our office, and everything was absolutely excellent! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The paella was packed with delicious seafood and authentic flavors, and the chicken and ribs were juicy and tender. Everyone in our team loved it! A special thanks to Mr. Días for his excellent service—he was very professional and attentive. We highly recommend Chaves for any event or gathering. Thank you for the amazing meal!
