Absolutely brilliant dinner. Our favourite dishes were the deep fried green beans, the black pudding with cornbread (it's Portuguese morcela, much tastier than black pudding) and the Pudim Abade de Priscos.
(oh, ask for bread. essential for mopping up sauces and eating with the cured meats and cheeses)
The service was top notch, warm like in Portugal, we felt taken care of.
Will go again to try the suckling pig and the Pão de Ló!

Cosy place, pretty much everything on the menu is to share. We really liked the food although some people may not as that use quite a bit of olive oil. Definitely worth a try.
Went with a Portuguese friend, she said it was really good and the food tastes like it should taste. It was my first time with Portuguese food and I loved it. Menu is not very big and all dishes are to share, so 2-3 per person and a lot of bread should be enough.
Despite the portuguese name, this restaurant does not serve typical portuguese food. The food is tasty and a nice variation of some typical dishes. But be prepared to order several dishes per person, because they come in small amounts. It's nice to share several with friends...

London, 6 July 2015.
Everything was very professonal. Food tasty and well much with wine selection. Maybe expensive place but probebly nr. 1 in London which is serving original and modern Portuguese quesine.
You can't go wrong here, food is absolutely perfect here. And don't forget to get pão de ló for dessert ;)
I was lucky enough to go to their soft opening and it's great that a Portuguese restaurant has opened because there's not many choices with this cuisine here in London. The place itself is really nice but with an intimate feel, so felt really comfortable there the minute I walked in.
We ordered all types dishes, our favourites were definitely the cured meat and fish choices, and their desserts were phenomenal. I wasn't a fan of their kimchi cabbage one though. Overall we loved the food but the prices are pretty steep, more than 30 a person with already half-price off the food.
So definitely not a place to have a full stomach, which is unfortunate because when I was in Portugal the food is not only super cheap but filling.
It's all about the finest products. Very interesting selection of Wines!
From the time we arrived the staff were friendly , welcoming and extremely accommodating.
Our waitress did a great job with guiding us through the menu and recommending dishes and wine that we were sure to enjoy.
Love the food. Fresh , delicious and flavoursome.
I'll definitely be back and highly recommend it.
i had dinner here last night. made a booking online a few days prior and arrived at the restaurant expecting to see a full house – but it was empty! turns out that everyone was seated at the 'outside' heater terrace which did look warm and inviting, but we chose to seat 'inside' for a quiet meal.
food was great (cod tongue, pao de lo, beef sandwich, green bean fritters were amazing!) but service was lacking.
the manager was friendly, but *especially* friendly to the table beside us, who seemed to be his friends. it got slightly annoying when he stood over our table to watch/talk to them. we ordered two cups of tea to go with dessert that never came. shame because i really needed something to wash down that beautifully moist pao de lo cake!
i can see why some people think the portions are small for the price. but i would definitely come back again, for lunch.
