“ Family run business with great atmosphere, real hidden gem. They serve traditional Portuguese food which really does taste the way we remembered from our visits in Portugal. Francesinha is to die for, it was like an instant portal to Porto. Such a great treat. Highly recommended if you want to try the Portuguese food. ”
“ It’s a small but friendly Portuguese restaurant with delicious food and good service. I took the started recommendations and all were good. The seafood rice is very good, a must. Eventually we ordered too much for four persons! ”
“ Food was just delicious. Service was amazing. The waiter was so personable and attentive- it was my partners birthday they brought out shots at the end free of charge too. Everything tasted homemade including desserts. Great experience we will definitely be back! ”
“ Walked past this place initially as staying in local area but something made us walk back and give it a try. Really helpful and polite staff. Huge range of options on the menu, possibly too many as made choosing what to have a longer deliberation. 3 small plates and one main between the people was plenty of food shopping with three drinks. We sat in the cordoned pavement area which was warm with a couple of electric heaters. Very pleasant way to spend an hour or so watching people and eating hearty tasty food. Ordered a couple of Pastel De Nata to enjoy later and honestly don't care if they make them in house or buy them in, they were the deepest and most heavenly tarts I have eaten, completely tops those even purchased from Portuguese bakeries. Excellent venue, excellent food, excellent staff. ”
“ Love everything! Great portions for the price - worth it! ”
“ Excellent genuine Portuguese restaurant a little off the beaten track. It even has football on the TV which no-one watches! Well frequented by Portuguese so you know it has to be good! Food, service and prices excellent. Will definitely go back again and again. Recommend booking as people queue outside it’s so busy. ”
“ Great place for meal. Only criticism is could chef take out the lemon pips out before serving the calamari. The pork and clams dish great but too many vegetables for me. Still great experience. The best bit they have outdoor place to eat where I can smoke. ”
“ A fantastic spot! The food, the food, the food. We completely over ate. It was too delicious to tap out. The young man that helped us was so polite, considerate and informative. What a pleasure. If we had more time there we definitely would return for a second meal. That cornbread (Broa) was amazing, we dipped in the sauce of the Tia Rosa King Prawn and loved it even more. ”
