Des grillades incroyables & un service professionnel & vraiment orienté client.
Seriously incredible food & the nicest service. Everything is gluten free except the bread. They only fry fries so I was able to eat them too as a celiac. 10/10 would come back. The chicken was so flavourful & juicy.
I will admit, the chicken up front smelled & looked delicious, but we only stopped in for drinks & dessert. The sangria felt a bit watered down, & the pastel de nata's were not my favourite. Service was lovely.

Best Portuguese food i've ever had!!! We ordered the half chicken & for starters we had prawns. When we arrived, we had a complementary salad & bread basket, I used to come here 20 years ago & it's so great to see it's still making delicious food with great service. Would 100% recommend!

The food was very delicious, & the staff was friendly. I tried both the fish & chicken, & they were good. Although there is no halal sign, the staff indicated that the chicken is halal.
We came for lunch today & had a great experience. The service was very attentive, & the main dishes were amazing - the beef & pork were absolutely delicious! The flan & sangria could use a bit more flavor, but overall the food was so good that I'm happy to give them 5 stars.
Absolutely loved the Pork steak, it reminded me of how my great grandma used to cook pork, the waiter was super friendly, shared stories about Portugal & food. Even suggested the best wine to go with all that delicious food. Highly recommended.
I have been coming to Jano with my wife & now my daughter for twelve years. It is one of the most pleasant, warm, engaging, & reassuring places. The food is delicious, the service is pleasant & the atmosphere makes one feel like part of the family. Anyone looking for top quality food with a comforting feel should come to Jano
