    I recently visited Papa Boa and was pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a vintage charm that makes it feel both cozy and stylish. It’s a great spot for a casual family lunch or a relaxed evening out. The food was the highlight of the visit. I tried the prawns and chicken, both of which were cooked to perfection—flavorful, tender, and generously portioned. The sides like creamed spinach, and fresh salads complemented the mains beautifully. The service was friendly, attentive, and efficient. Staff were accommodating with requests and ensured our table felt well taken care of. Prices are also very reasonable for the quality and quantity offered. Our hostess (Pretty) made our dining experience a memorable one. Thank you

    For a family outing this was just what we were looking for, wonderful warm welcome, fantastic food at a reasonable price. We had the most fantastic kg of Queen prawns, a rack of BBQ pork ribs , Sardines and a T-bone steak. This is real Portuguese food made lovingly, without fuss and pretence. Authentic

    If looking for variety of foods (meat, seafood, chicken or veg etc), this place caters for all. All meals met or exceeded expectations, the friendly staff gave all to ensure we had a great time and the price was reasonable for what was ordered. I would most certainly return and invite family and friends to dine there next time.
