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

Entrées généreuses, calamars grillés avec une sauce délicieuse. Les sardines sont excellentes, 4 par portion. Le Pastel de Nata chaud servi avec cannelle, comme au portugal. Prix & service raisonnables.
Je viens d'y retourner 4 ans plus tard. Les portions sont généreuses, même trop un plat pour deux c'est suffisant. Les plats viennent avec une salade individuelle. C'est un endroit simple & tranquille. Dommage que les tentacules ne soient pas incluses dans le calmar grillé, c'est toujours un plus. Le poulet grillé est vraiment très bon. Je ne comprends pas ceux qui ont fait des commentaires très négatifs, la place est très bien & les plats somples & goûteux. Je laisse vos yeux apprécier !

Ce n'est pas un restaurant très rafiné niveau look, comparativement à des restos portugais cher mais, ça a une touche d'authenticité. Ça rappel bien un voyage au Portugal. La nourriture est bonne & le décor est bien. Le poulet est délicieux & les frites sont bien croustillantes. Les plats sont aussi bon que directement au Portugal
