Great food, very warm welcome by the boss/manager and staffs, wonderful music. One of the best Sangria I had in UK. The grilled fish skewer is tender and delicious. We had a really fantastic evening with my family. Highly recommanded and would defiantly come again.

To say this is an excellent restaurant is an understatement. It's one of the best restaurants in terms of food and atmosphere I've been in. The food is of such high quality and in turn taste produced to a high standard time after time. For me it's our go to place to eat when we really need a good slap up meal. The owner and his staff are very friendly and helpful. They offer some authentic Portuguese dishes alongside an extensive menu containing a dish for all tastes. The portions are large without being off-putting. We tend to share main meals between our party as to get a real taste of the menu. I would definitely recommend this but please call ahead and book before your visit, even mid week! *Edited review June 2021, original posted 2 years ago* *Edited review to add photos April 2024, review still stands*

Loved everything in this restaurant. We went here on Sunday and we didn’t know that there was a Victorious festival going on that weekend. Carolina welcomed us and we were seated. We ordered their Lobster and I forgot the other dish. Both dishes were tasty and it does not have a strong aftertaste. The right balance of flavour, spices and sauces. A must-visit in Portsmouth. We also ordered their Pastel de Nata. It was good!!! They have a twist since they added a sprinkle of cinnamon to it.

Came here to eat before going to the D-Day museum. Very affordable food for the quality and portion. A big steak and half lobster is 26. Highly recommended. The lobster was really good with eggs.

Great place to dine. The service is first class, from booking, through dining to the final bill. The decor is superb as well. The food is excellent and reasonably priced. We will definitely be visiting again.

when planning our southsea visit me and my portuguese partner noticed this restaurant and planned to visit it. we had a wonderful time; the restaurant is well fitted with nice lighting and good decor. service was very friendly and accomodating; I had the lisboa chicken and my partner had the francesinha. we also got desserts - i highly recommend the creme brulee, it was lovely, light and lemony. overall a fantastic experience and i would love to come again next time im in the area!
