    I really enjoyed the Portuguese chicken and prawns. The chicken was tender and juicy, while the prawns were cooked perfectly. The sauce had a rich, authentic Portuguese flavour with just the right amount of spice—hot enough to give it a nice kick without overpowering the dish. The fresh side salad balanced the meal well and added a refreshing crunch. If you enjoy flavourful, spicy food, this is definitely worth trying. I’ll definitely be ordering it again!

    We arrived and was seated. We ordered started which was lovely. My husband's chicken was undercooked (still pink). Food was taken back and by the time it came back to us he lost his appetite. We asked for a take away of my meal and my husband's, we got one take away containers for 2 half baby chickens and 2 portions of chips. We asked for the bill and card machine. We received the bill and waited a long time for the waiter to come back with the card machine so we woke up and went to pay. The waiter saw us waiting for the card machine and still proceeded to delay. Overall experience was not good at all. Service needs attention as well as food preparation.

    Olá Shweta Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're truly sorry that your visit did not meet the standard we strive to provide. While we're pleased to hear that you enjoyed your starter, we're very concerned by your comments regarding the undercooked chicken. Serving food that is not prepared correctly is unacceptable, and we sincerely apologise for the disappointment and inconvenience this caused, especially as it affected your husband's appetite and your overall dining experience. We're also sorry to hear about the delays with the card machine and that the takeaway packaging was not suitable for your meals. We understand how frustrating these issues must have been, particularly after an already disappointing experience. Your feedback regarding both our service and food preparation has been taken seriously and will be shared with our management and kitchen teams so that we can address these shortcomings. We value every guest who walks through our doors, and it's disappointing to know we let you down on this occasion. We hope you'll consider giving us another opportunity in the future to provide the quality of food and service that Beira Alta is known for. Regards Donovan

    Such a beautiful restaurant with friendly service - our second time going however the all the food wasn't too great this time. The starters of sardines, oysters and garlic prawns were excellent but the mains were unfortunately mediocre. Bitoque steak was too rare for a med rare order, grilled cod was a bit under, soggy and swimming in excess liquid and my child got fishfingers out of a box which I thought was extremely unimaginative and not worth it. Always great atmosphere but a little more attention to detail with cleaning under the booths as they were pretty dusty. Great selection of fine wines.

    Olá Lecrechia Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback, and for visiting us again. We truly appreciate your continued support. We're so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the atmosphere, our friendly service, the starters, and our wine selection. It's especially encouraging to know that the sardines, oysters, and garlic prawns made such a positive impression. That said, we're genuinely sorry that your main courses didn't meet the standard you've come to expect from us. The steak should have been cooked correctly, the cod should have been served with the proper texture and presentation, and we're disappointed to hear that your child's meal also fell short of your expectations. We also appreciate you bringing the cleanliness under the booths to our attention. Feedback like yours helps us identify where we need to improve, and we'll be addressing these points with our kitchen and housekeeping teams. We hope you'll give us the opportunity to welcome you back for a third visit so we can provide the consistently high-quality experience we're known for. Thank you again for your honest feedback—it truly helps us improve. Regards Donovan

    Olá Chantel Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience with our service did not meet your expectations. We take pride in providing warm, welcoming, and attentive service to all our guests, so we are disappointed to hear that you felt your waitress did not seem interested in assisting you. We have looked into the matter and, after speaking with the manager and waitress on duty, we were advised that the concern during the visit was related to all 6 adults wanting to order from our kiddies menu. Please note that we do not allow adults to order from the kiddies menu, as this menu is specifically designed for children. Our team aims to communicate our policies respectfully while still ensuring every guest has an enjoyable experience. We would also appreciate knowing if your concerns regarding the service standard were raised with the manager on duty during your visit, as we always welcome the opportunity to address any issues immediately and make things right where possible. Thank you again for your feedback. We value your comments and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future. Regards Donovan
