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!
Meilleur restaurant portugais in town! Bonne ambiance, service a la clientèle sympathique & se soucis de combler vos besoins. Tu paies pour quesque tu a payé(avec possibilité de prendre pour emporter si vous n'avez plus faim).
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.
