“ It's hard to shine as a Portugese tapas restaurant in this part of town, but this small tapas bar definitely does what it can to shine. The best Portuguese Tapas I have had anywhere in London for a long time. Service is exceptional as is virtually all the food on offer in their menu. All the tapas are sensational, especially the garlic prawns and octopus. In addition to the fantastic tapas, the main courses have some very authentic looking skewered dishes that are worth a try. Highly recommended. ”
“ Great spot with authentic decor and tasty wine. Generous portions and good value. The staff were very friendly and even chased after me down the street when I accidentally forgot my gloves - very much appreciated! :) ”
“ I wrote many reviews about this gem of a tiny authentic restaurant. One of our favourite waiter who felt like an uncle made it special but just learnt that he passed away couple of months ago. We are going to miss him ”
“ I’m obsessed with this place! I’d go every day if I could. Everything is amazing—the food, the atmosphere, and the staff. ”
“ Small, comfortable, Portuguese restaurant. About 18 covers. Popped in on the off chance on a Tuesday evening. Nicely busy but not too crowded. Good menu, nicely cooked and presented. Good value. We spent about 25-30 per head for two generous courses, with sides and drinks. Could have spent less. Would happily return. ”
“ It's hard to believe I've lived in London for almost 10 years and never discovered this place before. I am originally from Portugal, and I can assure you it's an authentic taste of traditional Portuguese cuisine. The staff is genuinely friendly, and the food is incredibly tasty! I felt so homesick that I took three soups to go. If you're craving Portuguese cuisine or longing for a taste of Portugal but can't make the trip, this spot offers generous servings at very reasonable prices. ”
“ Had a very tasty lunch. Everything we have ordered was so delicious. We will definitely be back again soon. The service was great too. Very good Portuguese food, you know the food is authentic when you see the same nationality of people eating the food too. ”
“ I rarely give 5 stars but this deserves it. Authentic Portuguese food. Lovely waitresses. Beautiful intimate decor. Yummy prawns, salad, the chips are exactly as my Mom makes them! Delicious. Nice dessert selection. We will most definitely be back! ”
