The mussels and the octopus didn't taste that nice. I think I didn't like the olive oil that they covered everything in. There was also annoying little flies disrupting our meal every couple of seconds.

The horse steak wasn't seasoned properly and the chips had loads oil on it so we were quite upset about it hopefully that will change

Always lively, always good food! Restaurant has a nice family feel and no nonsense food with quick service. Can't go wrong with O Cantinho De Portugal. Oh, don't forget to save room for dessert!

Very good. Big portions of food, which is good but don't get carried away but eating the bread with butter that is very delicious. And it's good for birthdays because they actually play a long cheeses birthday song in Portuguese obviously

More a cafe /bar feel to this place than the restaurant I was expecting. We turned up and they had no record of my reservation although they did managed to put a table together for us. It was very loud in there with people (including members of staff) watching the football match that was on the several large tv screens. My friend and I ate quickly and left.

Food was good, however I was very disappointed to have booked a table and received confirmation and I got there and they were not aware of it. I ended up having diner in the cafe side (not the restaurant) which was not very nice as people were standing at the bar drinking and there was a lot of noice. I felt very uncomfortable and just wanted to pay and get out. I didn't even had dessert or coffe as I just wanted to leave. If the restaurant if fully booked they should not misslead the customer.

I had been to this restaurant few years ago and went again last night. It was even better than before. Excellent food and service, the staff was very attentive. It was difficult to choose from the menu because everything sounded delicious. We opted for octopus, cod and monkfish rice and I can't say which one was the best, top mark to all of them. We could not finish the main courses as the portions were generous but we could not miss their mouthwatering and traditional desserts. I can't wait to go back!

I enjoyed my mixed fish grill very nice just a little bit to much squid otherwise enjoyable,not as tasty as the first time but no complaints,price reasonable if I went for 3 course that would be expensive,I only had the main and it was £34 with a soft drink so a bit pricey if I wanted a pudding which I didn't buy cause my budget was for £35 Lunch.

Awful food-awful experience. I heard that this place was definitely basic but that the food was authentic. Now, I've been many times to Portugal and I can say that it might be authentic for the cheapest tavernas. the food they serve is really of cheap quality and badly cooked. Also there were plenty of portuguese footballers who were shouting and the hostess no once said to them to keep in mind that there were other people. NEVER AGAIN!!!!

Great food, oversized portions at very good prices. Wine list offers a good choice on truly authentic Portuguese bottles. Really busy on weekends so booking on such days is a wise choice.

Despite booking they looked unprepared for us to turn up. There was lots of tables so we just chose one. Despite the large portions the food was not very tasty, also bread and pate turn up on the table and are charged for without asking if you want. The bread was delicious. Staff not very attentive.

Terrific place. Good honest food. Friendly service. The lighting in the dining room area is a bit bleak, and you have to put up with a TV that's permanently on, but that apart it's all good.

Good Portuguese food, nice service. Traditional, but also clean, urban and suitable for younger and non-Portuguese clients. Being traditional enough, you may expect large portions and a generous service.

The restaurant is lovely and always great food and service. It was my birthday party and my friends loved it. The reservation I made in August was forgotten and this caused confusion, yet the restaurant gave us a table and was very nice. It was just a mix up. I will keep going back as it's a fond place to be, like stepping into Portugal for the evening!

Large portions and good value. Service is quick but tends to be very busy and so can seem crowded due to small space. Despite this I would recommend it.

Buzzy vibe, good food, large portions and a very good price. Service at times patchy, there is quite a large gap between the best and worst waiters
