Review Summary

Chez Doval feels like a warm, authentic Portuguese spot where seafood and charcoal grilled dishes shine, with grilled sardines and lamb chops drawing praise and generous portions at good value. The menu celebrates classic Portuguese favorites such as carne de porco a alentejana and a variety of seafood, and the friendly staff create a welcoming, lively vibe that many describe as relaxed and convivial. The wine list is solid and the occasional Porto shot adds a nice touch, complementing simple, flavorful preparations that emphasize quality over fuss. Diners appreciate the unpretentious atmosphere, reliable service, and the sense of tradition that comes through in both the food and the hospitality, making it a favorite for casual lunches and dinners alike.

Have been coming to this restaurant for over 30 years & still love it. Serving delicious Portuguese grilled chicken, lamb, fish & steak cooked in a large brick oven that you can see if you sit on the rustic & boisterous side (good for groups). If you want an experience with softer lighting & white table clothes, there is a quieter side fit for a romantic dinner for two or family/friends who want to enjoy a quieter conversation. Prices are still very reasonable, for our inflationary times. For that alone, it merits 5 stars!

Sardines & octopus are absolutely amazing! The chicken is also very good! Personally, this is the best Portuguese restaurant in town. The waiter Avelino consistently goes above & beyond to provide top-notch service, & the two very friendly owners make you feel like you're part of the family. The cozy ambiance & authentic Portuguese decor transport you right to Portugal. The extensive wine selection perfectly complements the delicious dishes. Keep up the excellent work, guys. You've created a true culinary gem!

Local portuguese food in a typical family owned restaurant. Ambiance & service was great, & food very tasty. The pork & clams dish would have been better with more potatoes & a bit less meat though. You can really feel the Portuguese vibe as if you were travelling to the country.

Je suis très désolé de le dire, mais : ça fait longtemps que j'ai autant mal mangé. Croquettes de mourus insipides & un plat de porc & palourdes presque pas mangeable...Quelle déception après toutes les critique élogieuses.

I use to eat at this place quite often 20 years ago, the food was always good but the service wasn't great.
I decided to go back this weekend & was really disapointed.
I ordered the portuguese chicken on the grill & it was awful, it was really dry.
Normally when you order chicken you have to wait approximately 45 minutes as it takes a little while to cook it.
This time we had the chicken within 15 minutes, this means that the chicken was precooked & they slap it bakc on the grill to warm it up.
Very disappointed will not be going back there.

Excellent comme d'habitude ! Un resto simple avec des serveurs de caractère . On s'y sens bien a l'aise avec une bonne bouteille de vin bien normal mais qui fait son affaire. Une bonne ambiance & un contexte qui ne se gâche pas de superflus. Merci encore pour une soirée parfaite en toute simplicité.
