    We loved the food and friendly service. A real bonus for us was the fact that you also had great vegan/vegetarian options.

    I had really high hopes coming to this restaurant, I was greatly disappointed we couldn’t even eat the food because they were so salty. And one would assume that if you complain to the waiter then they would atleast offer to change our plates but that didn’t even happen. The waiter just dismissed it off with an apology and that was it. I’m really disappointed about this experience

    The restaurant is very tired, it’s in desperate need of a revamp, however the staff and food were lovely. Lilly is a super waitress and the chef is gracious and accommodating, and the meals were delicious,

    I had the squid heads fried, the chef could do better with the amount of oil on the plate from a presentation and dietary perspective. Overall the food was great, loved the Paella and side chillies it came with, beautiful flavours all together. Some work can be done on the tables and chairs, some consistency in the styling that aligns with the Portuguese theme the restaurant is built on.

    The waiter was not the best and he tried to help himself to our change of R100.00 until my husband followed him around to give it to us. However, we alway enjoy the food and ambiance. Nelly is the best manager ever.
