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

Adega (the name means "wine cellar")[1] opened in early 2016. 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.[2] 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 fiancé David Costa, who met while working at Eleven, a two Michelin star restaurant in Lisbon.[3][4] The restaurant serves traditional Portuguese food.

In October 2016 Adega was awarded a Michelin star,[5] the first for a restaurant in San Jose and the second for a Portuguese restaurant in the US;[1][6][7] Carreira, 23 years old, is also one of the youngest chefs to receive the award, and one of few women.[8]
