This place is our favourite spot. We go there few times a year. So far, any food that I have had there has been superb. Their chicken is addictive.

La meilleure rôtisserie portugaise à mon avis. Celle-ci était ma 2e visite. Le poulet toujours juteux & savoureux, bien cuit sans être brûlé, les côtelettes d'agneau à point & très bonnes au goût (& je ne suis pas du tout amateure d'agneau!). J'aime le fait que l'on peut remplacer les frites par des pommes de terres bouillies. Les olives, le pain, la sauce piquante, les tartellettes aux oeufs, tout est bon.

I went to Jano for a birthday party. The restaurant isn't very big, but it is still comfortable.

The service was good & attentive, they were fast & nice.

The food was good, but not spectacular, for me who comes from Spain & is used to similar food. It was too grilled for my taste, but well... I guess it depends on each person.

As we were in a birthday, one of the group told a waiter they could invite us for a piece of cake, more like joking, but they actually gave the birthday girl a portion! So that was a nice detail from their part. =)
