Very friendly servers who speak French, English, & Portuguese. Food was not what we hoped for. The squid was nicely prepared but tasted a little old. We ordered the chicken & the mixed plate, both of which were a tad overcooked. We enjoyed the evening, but the food fell flat, which was a disappointment after hearing how good the peri peri was.

Came here for dinner & was blown away by how good the food was. The chicken & the lamb were both unreal, perfectly cooked, juicy, & full of flavor.

On top of the meat being spectacular, they do not skimp on the sides. The plate was loaded with a massive portion of fries, & the meal came with a really fresh side salad & bread. It's an incredibly satisfying, hearty meal where everything on the plate hits the spot. Great atmosphere & fantastic food. I highly recommend checking this place out if you want a great meal!

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.

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.

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.
