“ We ordered food to take away, and the food was well packaged and hot. Everything was delicious and well cooked to perfection. I recommend this place for authentic Portuguese food. ”
“ An authentic place in London. You won't find places like these so easily. It feels you are transported into a small town in the Portuguese countryside. Excellent, high quality homemade food, excellent prices and huge dishes. Service is quite slow so bare in mind you have to wait for some time after you order your food. What's better than a 'maniana' rhythm to feel you escaped from the city? ”
“ This is amazing Portuguese food!!! I love it. We ordered seafood rice, but it’s too much for 2 persondefinitely love these food! ”
“ Great food with an excellent friendly service. A great place to come and eat Portuguese food, and you should try the Molotof desert. Close to the Nine Elms London Underground Station. ”
“ Very good traditional Portuguese restaurant, it really tastes like portugal! We got the mussels in spicy sauce, clams, batatas bravas and bolo do caco with garlic, and they were all amazing and were enough for 3 people. The employees were very nice, and we will be back for sure. ”
“ Amazing portion size! Seafood rice is unbeatable, comes with A LOT of seafood in the clay pot, grilled pork belly comes with rice and chips. We have to bring the seafood rice home cuz it is huge. Affordable and tastes fabulous ”
“ My absolute favourite Portuguese Tapas restaurant in London, run by the same Portuguese family for the last 16 years or so and the fact that it's full of Portuguese people every single time I go there should tell you all you need to know about how authentic it is! The menu is small, which is perfect for us, but full of tasty, well thought out and very reasonably priced dishes, both tapas and mains, that the chef has obviously perfected over many years! They do have a large TV in the main food area showing Portuguese TV or Football, depending if any Portuguese team are playing that is, and if that is a put off, then perhaps this restaurant is not for you, however, if you are in the mood for a relaxed, tasty and reasonably priced tapas meal, you can't go wrong here...Highly Recommended.... ”
“ Been here a couple of times, repeating ordering clam in white wine, saute mushroom, grill octopus leg and seafood rice. Generous portion so be careful of over ordering! ”
