    Really really delicious food, couldn’t fault any dish at all. Only small niggle was the door to the restaurant was wide open and sitting right by it we got too cold. Did ask if it would be possible to shut the door, which one server did but then it was opened 2 mins later by another server and left open. Would definitely return and will look forward to doing so!

    If you’re looking for great Portuguese cuisine, attentive service and relaxed but refined atmosphere, you can’t get better in London at this £ tag. Food is in par if not better than Jóia, or Lisboeta, for half the price, wine selection is amazing, and you find actual products out of Portugal.

    We've been a few times before and as always the food and service were excellent. To our taste the restaurant was overly noisy, more so than I've experienced in the past .. perhaps that's to be expected on a Thursday before the bank holiday weekend and it probably added so some diners experience but unfortunately it detracted a little from ours.
