"We are a native Portuguese family and are therefore accustomed to Portuguese cuisine. This was by far one of the worst experiences I have ever encountered in the UK. When asked if the restaurant had Portuguese bread, the waitress very openly admitted that they abandoned conventional Portuguese bread for Tesco alternatives. The bread in question was not bad but it was terrible to hear they didn’t have authentic Portuguese breads available. As an alternative we were offered ciabatta. The selection of foods available on the menu were good. We weren’t alarmed by the high prices as authentic Portuguese restaurants in the UK have a tendency to be a bit pricey. But you pay for authenticity. This was not the case. When the food arrived we noticed the side dishes potatoes, rice, and vegetables were from a packet. Conventionally potatoes are boiled so we were surprised to see Aunt Bessie’s with a touch of seasoning presented to us. The rice is without question from a pack maybe uncle bens or tilda which is pitiful to say the least. The products that were fresh within our meal featured meat and fish. These were average at best. Fish was over cooked, and the steaks were undercooked. Considering the establishment employs Portuguese people it’s embarrassing that they aren’t bothered to cook fresh food. Having said that the place is beautiful and very well decorated, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Dishes are presented very nicely it’s a shame the freshness and quality isn’t there. Needless to say we will not be returning to this establishment and I’m sorry but I couldn’t recommend anyone go there either."
