Cafe Restaurant Moniz

Stumbled upon this Portuguese restaurant and went because of the great reviews. Was not disappointed! Freshly made, healthy and home cooked Portuguese meals made rather quickly. Excellent service with friendly waitresses. Brilliant Delta coffee (available takeaway too) and a lovely variety of cakes including Pudim made on-site. Even a little grocery section with Portuguese foods to take home! I’ll certainly be coming back next time I’m in London.

Excellent meal. I had the seafood pasta. Quite good, but I also had a caffè Cortado and it was the best coffee I've had in quite a while (in the UK)... and the cup was warmed beforehand... Well done. Rui the waiter was also excellent... Very courteous and helpful. Thank you. I will definitely be back.

Besides reviews (which can be paid off) how do you know if a restaurant you never been to is actually good? Well one of the way is patrons - if I see Portuguese restaurant with Portuguese customers, that must be a good sign right? Nice outdoor seating area, great food, friendly staff. It was lovely experience!

We drive more than a hour to get to the Moniz and it never disappoints! An awesome place to have a real Portuguese meal, especially a good Salada de Polvo (marinated octopus salad) or the Bacalhau na Brasa (Grilled Cod). Staff is polite and friendly and the facilities are good. To me, there's only one bit to get this restaurant to 5 stars and that is just a matter of improving the quality of the meals by taking down the music a notch and changing the lighting. Those blue lights are not friendly for people with sensorial difficulties. Other than that, it is a good place for a good meal. A piece of advice: always book a table. The restaurant is rather small for the quality of the food so it's always packed.
