Don’t be deterred by the basic decor, this is one of the best Portuguese restaurants you’ll find anywhere in the UK.

Bad tempered service: runs the food service according to a strict timetable, so no serving outside their timetable which you are told in no small measure as if you should already know this, expensive menu which cannot compete in standard with the cafe next door. Serves an older native clientele and for them the atmosphere is cheerful, but outsiders can expect short shrift. Previous owners were far more amenable.

Stopped just for a quick bite to eat - got a recommendation from a local to have the chips! So pleased we did double egg and chips hit the spot perfectly.... And bought Pastel de Nata for my youngest at home!

One of the best Portuguese restaurants I have found in the UK.My British boyfriend was delighted with his portuguese style pork and his dessert. They Have super bock and delta café, great! Homemade food, homemade deserts. Staff friendly like we Portuguese are. I'll return if i need a stop while traveling to the airport for sure.

Nice and traditional Portuguese food. Unfortunately the opening hours are inconsistent. drove from nearby to get dinner one evening (seeing the opening times are listed as open until 10pm). Arrived 8:50 on a Wednesday and were told that the kitchen closes at 8pm. Came the following day, arriving at 7:15, only to be told the kitchen closed at 7pm that day. Thoroughly frustrating experience as I’ve eaten there before and really enjoyed the food, and was looking forward to eating there again. After being messed around and ultimately lied to by the staff I don’t think I’ll bother coming back.

Maybe they were short staffed but the service was very slow and it wasn't because the cafe was packed. Other than that they delivered on the proposition of being a basic cafe. Clean and functional. Had a lovely hot cuppa and an omelette that had been cooked to order. The omelette was just that - not even a little bit of salad garnish on the plate. Staff were nice enough but for a quick lunch sort of meal you hope to be served quickly. There were other customers waiting quite a while for their food too.

Really enjoyed an impromptu lunch here. It!s a very v unpretentious cafe with nice coffees and the food is great. Between us we ordered a tuna melt, a Portuguese prawn rissole thing, chips and a pastel de nata (Portuguese custard tart). The chips were fantastic, not greasy at all - I did wonder whether they might even be air fried they were so good. My partner lived in Portugal for some years and the rissole transported her right back there. She also thought the tuna melt top-notch and of COURSE the tart was fab! Prices pretty reasonable too. The tables and chairs outside were being used on this sunny October day, possibly even by some Portuguese expats judging by the little coffees and glasses of iced tea we spotted. (There is Portuguese beer available too we saw on the menu.) This was my second visit - just had a breakfast coffee and v good croissant last time. Judging by the comments I’ve read on here I must try the cooked breakfast next time I think.

Lovely dining experience. ❤🤍💙🧡🖤♥️ I had a luke warm combination consisting of fish, scrambled egg and chips mashed into a pulp which i was assured is a traditional Portuguese main with a limp salad. Some loud angry gentlemen conversed threateningly directly behind me while playing the electronic gambling machine. The locals obviously feel comfortable as one jolly looking gentlemen illustrated when he turned up for lunch in his pajamas. The staff are friendly to a fault showing little regard to the notion of personal space. Very authentic fenland experience.

When we come into England from France we go straight to Portugal - in the shape of A Tasca Café. Always assured of a warm and friendly greeting from Vida, Uri, Magda, Juan and their team. Everything from a full English breakfast to a good Portuguese menu. Always good food and good value. (Plus excellent beer and home made chips!)

Sometimes you just want to have a good, hearty filling breakfast, with a cup of tea, to set you up for the day. Well, this place does that. The food is excellent and the portions are generous. I confess I haven't explored the menu to a great extent, but I have seen other people order and I can attest to the yummy smells as their food passes by. It is unpretentious and traditional with a really friendly team behind the counter - I really like it there and I hope you all do too.

I had a similar experience with these people where I went for breakfast with a friend with my small dog sat outside to eat, horrendous weather, went to ask if I could bring him (my dog) just inside the door just to be told no dogs allowed, so I payed for the breakfasts that were put into takeaway containers and I won't go here again. Breakfast was mediocre and I prefer The Stable who at least allow you to take your dog in during a downpour.

I took my drivers here for Christmas eve breakfast because everyone was saying how good it was but also I knew the owner who had just taken it over. The place was rammed full so we had to wait to order but a table big enough soon came free. We all ordered the full English which nearly beat us all. 3 rashers of bacon, 3 sausages, 2 eggs, black pudding, hash browns, baked bean and 2 slices of toast with a coffee or tea. 9 of us came to £70. A lot of locals were coming and going and the atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. The reason we had to wait to order was they hadn't expected so many people on a Christmas eve.
