Das sehr schön eingerichtete Bar-Restauran in Nähe der Liverpool Station hat uns überzeugt. Die Karte ist übersichtlich und ausgewogen gehalten, eigentlich eine Tapaskarte zum Teilen. Wir hatten zu zweit 6 kleine Gerichte, ausgewogen und ausreichend. Alles war gut, nur das Duck in Rise gewöhnungsbedürftig. Also einen Besuch wert!

Simply epic - this is the best authentic Portuguese cooking I’ve ever had in the UK. Great atmosphere, table or bar seat, little plates keep flowing and all were delicious. Expensive Wine List, but top quality. £75/head is good value in London, particularly on this quality. Left with full tums and a smiley face, will be back

This was truly a fantastic dining experience. The restaurant is beautiful with a lovely ambience and no shouting across the table to be heard! The food is incredible… delicious tapas. I recommend the cabbage (I’m a huge meat and seafood lover but this really was the star of the show) and every dish was clearly prepared with passion and care. The waitresses who looked after us were friendly and attentive. They were professional but relaxed which was appreciated. I have already recommended this restaurant to others and look forward to returning! The only downside was the automatic door which let in a freezing cold breeze every time some entered or left.

Amazing service. Me and my husband celebrated his birthday there, and I requested pastel de nata with a candle and my requested was granted. Thank you very much for being so attentive. The staff is very kind, polite and quick. The ambiance is nice. The food come in small plates and portions. The value per food is a bit expensive but the food is very tasty. I would definitely go back and now I know that more plates you need to be ordered, even the ones that they can say can be shared come on small portions.

A compact menu of delicious small plates, delivered to your table when they are ready, a bit like tapas. Lovely tasty food with interesting flavours. The beef onglet was especially good. We each had a glass of house wine which was really drinkable. Service was friendly and efficient and the atmosphere was relaxed. Highly recommended for a reasonably priced meal in the City.

That piece of Portugal we were looking for, the food, small sharing platters, well presented and very, very tasty, garlic prawns, wonderful and the salt cod fritters, yummy. The service was professional, always good to see happy front-of-house staff, we went on Saturday, about 2 pm, so it was a quiet period, but I expect that during the week this is a livelier place, Very reasonably priced and excellent value, a place to revisit. I suggest that you check out their website link for more info on party bookings/

We had a few items that were delicious - Croquetes, Onglet steak and garlic potatoes were the real highlights. We also had some things that really were underwhelming. The Salt cod fritters were virtually tasteless and a couple of them were loaded with fish bones. And, we were very disappointed with the garlic prawns (we were really looking forward to them and ordered two portions). They too were rather tasteless although well cooked and tender. Bread dipped in the sauce was pleasant enough. Service was also an issue. Although everyone was very nice, other than when we first sat down, no one was ever proactive. Any time we wanted to order food or drink, we had to ask someone to come to our table. There were several member of the front-of-house staff and although there was one large table, they were nearing the end of their meal. So, I did not see any obvious reason why checking in on us once in a while should have been a problem. We did appreciate the gentleman who asked for some details about why we were disappointed with the fritters and the server who helped us make a wine selection was very helpful. Overall, I would not rush back. If I did go again, I would get a portfion of the potatoes and the beef all to myself - they were that good.

Small, cosy bar that serves good Portuguese meals. I recommend ordering two or three plates per person and sharing them so that you try a wide variety of food. The cod fritters were the best dish I had. Very crispy and warm -- not soggy or cold like some other reviewers described. The meat croquettes were OK, but I thought the presentation was a little pretentious. Bacalhau à Brás was very filling due to starch content, so don't order many starter plates if you intend to eat this, too. The egg yolk pudding was rich. Think of it as a decent caramel pudding. I would have preferred the cinnamon ice cream that comes with the pastel de nata to the lemon sorbet that accompanies this dessert. Note: I'm not Portuguese, so I can't talk about the authenticity of the food, merely the taste. I also don't drink much, so I avoided that aspect of the offering.

Very good the pataniscas de bacalhau, good the bacalhau à braz, the meat plates are ok also…wonderful to taste the Douro wine again and I really enjoyed the pastel de nata. One suggestion : side the sauce that accompanies the tempura with fried joaquinzinhos - it will work perfectly.

First visit - would go back. Firstly some superb service as one of my friends was gluten intolerant - waitress marked up the menu for what she couldn’t have. Really impressive. No fuss just sorted it. Food very tasty - prawns and the salted cod in hash the best. Good atmosphere; tasty food; excellent service.

Recently took the family there to remind ourselves of our trip to Portugal...what a treat! Amazing food! A special mention to the chef's for the croquetas, the gambas (had to order some bread to finish the sauce as it was so tasty) and the bacalhau a bras. The decor with the Azulejos tiles made us feel back in Lisbon. Portugal is a great wine country and the wine list very impressive. We had one of our favourite producer Filipa Pato which was delicious. A huge thanks to the team for a great service and making us feels on holiday for the evening. We will be back!

Made the mistake of going into a cafe where there were no other customers. I think I now know why. Visited the premises in the Square. Latte and croissant, paid immediately by card, lukewarm coffee, stale croissant then on leaving was accused of not paying. They made a check of their records and voila, it seems I had. Quite embarrassing and won’t be back.
