Picked up takeout for my dad’s birthday . On the bright side, the potatoes were absolutely delicious, and the Pastel de Nata (Portuguese custard tarts) were a highlight flaky, creamy, and the perfect finish.
On the other hand, the rice was a bit undercooked and the chicken leaned on the salty side. For the price point, I was also expecting a slightly larger portion of chicken. ( it was a whole chicken) didn’t seem like it was at all ) 😏
Still, the flavors were good overall, and dessert definitely redeemed the experience. With a few tweaks, this could easily be a five-star spot.

I don’t know why this place is rated a 4.0, it’s super underrated. The food was amazing, I got a steak X-Tudo which was soooo good and my boyfriend got a toma La chicken, which he said was also very good. The price is really cheap for the meal you’re getting, and the people were extremely nice; we came in around 15 minutes before closing, and they let us stay 35 minutes after they closed so that we could sit down and enjoy the meal!!

Corner unit
Found it to be a Takeaway spot with a comfortable cosy fundamental dining room. The owner I believe it's Steve is a traditionalist in Portuguese food
Decor is delightful
Food is classic European with great value.
Service is simple. Location is a bit remote but having a couple of bottles of wine no rush to leave
Coolest thing, Japanese tabletop charcoal fired grill (winter hand warmer as well)
