This was my first experience of Portuguese cuisine. I was lucky enough to be advised to try this by a Portuguese person, I mean that in itself is a high enough compliment for this restaurant. The cod cakes were my favourite starter, but the chicken and prawn dishes were also delicious. The Medium spiced Piri Piri full chicken, wow juicy chicken with the most delicious wood smoked flavour. As for the Bacalhau Assado (grilled cod) it was cooked to perfection, one of the nicest fish dishes I have ever eaten. The desserts were delicious, the Portuguese tart was my favourite, but the others were soo good. Authentic Portuguese beer helped wash down the food, the service was fantastic, it felt like a proper family restaurant. I looked at the other seafood dishes coming out they all looked delicious. I don't usually write a long review like this, but people need to know about this hidden gem truly authentic Portuguese food at its, best. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon of delicious food and drink, I will return again soon.

This is the real deal. Move over Nando’s. This Portuguese restaurant is authentic. Simple food cooked fresh and really well. Fantastic value for money. Both take away and sit down. Even serve super bock on draught. The service was fantastic. We had only just come back from Portugal and this restaurant sits in line with best we had there.

After an hour and a half of waiting for a francesinha, they informed us that it was no longer available. We exchanged it for other dishes. And after two hours, of the four dishes ordered, only three were made. We had to share... A bit of disorganization. One star because the food was reasonable and they offered desserts and coffees.

My weekly visits to O Ribatejo have become a highlight for me, and it’s not hard to see why. Nestled in the heart of Leicester, this Portuguese gem has captivated my palate and my heart. The staff at O Ribatejo are, without exaggeration, the friendliest people you’ll ever meet. Their warmth and genuine hospitality transform each visit into a memorable experience, making you feel more like family than a customer. The menu is a delightful showcase of authentic Portuguese cuisine, with each dish promising a burst of traditional flavors. The chicken, perfectly seasoned and cooked to succulent perfection, accompanied by crispy chips and flavorful rice, is a must-try. But it doesn’t stop there - the cod cakes are a revelation, embodying the essence of Portuguese culinary excellence in every bite. O Ribatejo is more than just a restaurant; it’s a testament to the beauty of Portuguese culture and cuisine, served up by the most amiable team you could ever hope to meet. I cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone looking to immerse themselves in a genuine Portuguese dining experience. As a loyal customer for life, I eagerly anticipate my weekly visits, each one reaffirming my love for this outstanding establishment. To the wonderful team at O Ribatejo: thank you for making every meal an occasion to remember. Here’s to many more delightful experiences in your company!

I often go to this restaurant many times, but this time around I had a very terrible experience. First of all, the elderly lady who serves is always in a bad mood and has no manners to speak to the customers, this didn't just happen now but it's whenever I go to the restaurant. I wonder why she even works there if she never bothers to respect the customers. Secondly, I always order the grilled codfish and being Portuguese, I know this dish very well. The dish was poorly made and it wasn't even 500g as specified in the menu. It contained raw onions and it did not have the olive oil and garlic garnish at the top or the fried onions. Every time I order this dish, it's always well made, however, this time around it was absolutely terrible and the portion did not justify the price at all. Will not be visiting the place any time so soon.

Lovely restaurant cannot fault it .staff are wonderful Only drawback is since the previous owners have sold the business and new owners have come in Prices have gone up on the new menu . and the famous chicken has gone tremendous small . Before you would get juicy peices now it’s tiny and less meat on it . This always happens when you get new owners and the menu changes.Should have really stuck with the old menu this is what the shop is famous for

We fancied something different for a Friday evening, so did an online search for Portuguese restaurants in Leicester and this one came up. Didn't know what to expect, but it was great! The restaurant goes back quite a way, so it's much more spacious than it looks from the street. It's simply furnished, don't expect candlelit dining. We were welcomed by the very friendly Portuguese staff on arrival and shown to our table. Can thoroughly recommend the Rissóis de camarão (Prawn Pastries) to start, followed by Piri Piri Chicken and Carne de Porco à Alentejana (Pork with Clams) as mains. With a large jug of wine between us, we had a great evening and will definitely return. The only slight problem (if you're driving) is car parking, but allow a little time to find an on-street space and you'll be fine!

The staff were extremely nice and friendly. They really made it a great visit. The restaurant is also very clean, there's also a TV so you can watch football matches here too. We started with bread and sardine pate, a starter we normally have in Portugal, although the bread was a bit soft, would have preferred ciabatta. For the main meal we shared the Frango no Churrasco, a full chicken. It was a lot of food, more than enough for two people. I would recommend 3 to 4 people share the full chicken. It came with chips, a side of rice and carrots. The chicken has a nice flavour but I don't feel it was marinated enough as the flavour didn't reach the middle of the chicken. The others in the party ordered the Bife Sirloin. It was very soft and cooked perfectly. It came with a fried egg, chips, rice and carrot also. For dessert we had the caramel pudding and were were served two big helpings. They are very generous with their portions. The dessert is homemade and not very sweet. The best Portuguese restaurant in Leicester, would definitely return.
