Reviews Overview
Most Liked
The standout dishes here include the Amêijoas à Bulhão Pato, a garlic and white wine clam dish that leaves diners raving about its fresh flavors. The peri-peri chicken is another favorite, known for its juicy texture and smoky, spicy marinade—a must-try for any spice lover. Reviewers often mention the generous portion sizes and the quality of ingredients. The welcoming atmosphere also garners high praise, making it a relaxing spot to unwind with friends. Many return not just for the food, but for the friendly service that makes everyone feel at home.
Most Disliked
Some patrons have noted that during peak hours, the service can slow down, leading to longer wait times for food. A few diners expressed a desire for more variety in vegetarian options, although the existing offerings still meet the needs of many. While generally well-received, occasional comments about the acoustic environment indicate that it can get lively, which might not suit those seeking a quieter meal. Acknowledging these points can enhance expectations for newcomers.

The Amêijoas à Bulhão Pato was honestly one of the best things I’ve eaten in a while. The clams were super fresh, tender, and full of flavour, and the garlic, olive oil, and white wine sauce was absolutely incredible. There was a perfect hint of lemon and coriander that gave it a really fresh, vibrant taste. We couldn’t stop dipping our bread in the sauce—it was that good! It’s a simple dish, but when it’s made right like this, it’s unforgettable. If you love seafood or just want to try something really authentic and tasty, this one’s a must.

The peri-peri chicken here is honestly amazing. It’s got that perfect smoky, grilled flavour with just the right amount of spice—enough to give it a kick, but not overpowering. The chicken was super juicy and tender, and you can tell it’s been marinated properly because the flavour goes all the way through. It came with crispy fries and a fresh little salad on the side, which balanced things nicely. Every bite was packed with flavour, and I couldn’t stop eating. If you love bold, spicy food that still tastes homemade, this peri-peri chicken is something you’ll definitely come back for.
