O Canto Do Passarinho

Really disappointing. Many items on the menu were not available; the service was very slow (it took an hour and a half for us to get our main course); the quality of the food was poor, and the quantities inadequate; the card payment system was out of action, so we had to go in search of a cash machine. Not a good experience

Being Portuguese myself, there were a few things that were missed: the Portuguese bread was one of them and the covert ended up too expensive for the simple bread that was offered. Lots of things listed in the menu weren't available like bacalhau like bacalhau and deserts. On top of that the card machine was broken. Carne de porco à alentejana and bitoque were good but francezinha didn't convince.

One of the best restaurants in town. The staff is also wonderful and very kind. We had an amazing dinner, delicious, and everything with a badass bossa-nova! I will go back, no doubts!

Don't book in this restaurant. I did book and when a arrived there they said they didn't have my booking because they had problems with internet. I think it was an excuse because they have given my table to a big group. The girl didn't offer us anything. Reaĺly disappointed.

A compact yet cosy restaurant. The food was very tasty and very healthy. The piri piri chicken was delicious. If you like authentic Portuguese food this place is worth a visit

We found the menu to be quite limited but were happy with the food we received & the service was good. Big downfall was the bathroom with a broken seat & nothing to dry your hands with!

Lovey quaint restaurant. Food was really tasty and service very good. Would recommend it for an intimate meal or take over the whole restaurant with friends!

Serviço muito mau! !!! Para não voltar!!!! Quando se escolhe algo no menu não há,uma coisa típica como bacalhau estar em falta num restaurante Português,mais vale estar fechado e não defraudar os clientes

Fantastic night out. Great food and wine. Friendly staff. Will be going back. We live in Portugal and the food is just like home. A must visit when in Edinburgh.

On a very cold evening, we received a very warm welcome at this authentically Portuguese restaurant. It is small and potentially cozy, though chilly on the night in question as we were the first customers and it hadn't warmed up yet. The food was exactly what we'd hoped for - a real taste of Portugal. We had bacalhao a bras (salt cod and potatoes in cream sauce) and carne de porco alentejana (pork and clams), both famous dishes in Portugal and both delicious. The choice of wines is very limited, though the bottle of Touriga National Trincadeira we had was good. They should expand their list of Portuguese wines. The portions were very generous and we ate too much but it was hard to resist. All in all, great value for money. We will be going back there soon.

Didn't have half the menu available because of "a busy night previously". Two starters order and one of the mains where nothing like the description and frankly embarrassingly basic - because they didn't have the ingredients or chef just makes it that way....like grilled peppers stuffed with couscous and layers of mozzarella that turned out to just been a plate of basic couscous. Service was incredibly slow, took two hours to get two very basic dishes and one drink.

No soft drinks other than full sugar coke, food was oily, not impressed, wouldn't recommend. My husband is Portuguese and as people who have been to Portugal regularly I can say that it does not represent the usually delicious food there.

Amazing experience, excellent food not to mention the professional and lovely staff ! Can't wait to be back at Edinburgh to visit the place again !

A very cute space and the food we had was good, but quite a number of dishes on the menu were unavailable which was disappointing.

Booked through Quandoo on same day, they had our reservation. We received a very warm welcome, the stanard of the food was great, dishes were recommended as we were having difficulty deciding, got attentive service throughout meal.

Excellent dinner food very well cooked, typical Portuguese atmosphere and real Portuguese food, staff very friendly, a must restaurant in Edinburgh, recommended without hesitations, and will return

Pauli, owner manager was great. Food was good and white wine was chilled to perfection. The Portuguese sausage was very meaty and very tasty. Pauli has only just got his licence so didn't have and white port when we visited. It is on its way. Definitely recommend this restaurant. I will be back next year.

We went for dinner & received excellent & friendly service, beautiful & tasty food cooked fresh in a lovely & friendly restaurant. Great to try new flavours & styles of cooking.

Good food, friendly staff. The only downside was that it was a bit cold inside the restaurant. I would also like to see a touch of the modern Portugal in the decoration and in the music that was playing.

Friendly service with home cooking style food. We all had fish dishes with a pork based soup starter. Several dishes weren't available though this wasn't a problem.

A really lovely restaurant with an intimate charm that is authentically Portuguese. Really great food for good prices and a really lovely atmosphere! I recommend it to everyone!

Real food, real Portugese food, I highly recommend this small but friendly place on the Southside, attracts a mixture of students, homesick expatriates and affectionados of Lusitainian cuisine.

Good food. Huge portions. Cosy restaurant. Good value in my opinion Have been before and find it relaxed and welcoming. Corkage for byob rrally reasonable too.

Excellent and charming service by the waiter . Food very average . There were limited ingredients and the taste was bland . Certain dishes not available .

Small, intimate restaurant, very good food. The waiter was friendly, helpful and added to the experience of eating here. It was delightful that the chef-owner came round and thanked us for our custom. We will certainly go to this restaurant again and tell all our friends that it is well worth a visit.

Excellent service, and wonderful food. Can't fault the place at all. The atmosphere is really nice and relaxed. The smells of the food were wonderful.

Loved this restaurant and the food. Very authentic and the other diners that were there on the same evening were Portuguese so that says something. Well worth seeking out!

love it! would go again. staff was really friendly and the chicken was beyond amazing. The restaurant is small so try and book before you arrive!

Polite and friendly service, no frills but tasty food. Nice house wine. Unfortunately there were no vegetables available for sides apart from chips, chips or chips! Decor a bit mismatch but comfortable enough.

Very nice atmosphere. Great, authentic Portuguese food. My first time there I had the Francesinha sandwich; very delicious. Totally recommend the specials menu for 4+ diners.

Once again we enjoyed a great dining experience,food excellent,staff friendly and helpful. A taste of Portugal. We will definitely be returning. Apologies again about the glass Chico 💐

Very nice restaurant, with a cosy family feel. It was quite busy when we were there, but the food was very tasty and the servers friendly and helpful.

Good food , good atmosphere with friendly and enthusiastic service. Well worth a visit. We both chose fish- this was freshly prepared and worth the wait

Fantastic place , the food was freshly cooked and tasted so good , all the staff were so friendly and helpful with any advice . We will return and would recommend others to give it a try .

Great wee restaurant. Been here several times. Unfortunately this time they had the football on as portugal were in the semi finals. When we turned up the only table was right by the door and it was really noisy. The staff were very understanding when we said we didn't now want the table. Food smelt amazing so will bbe back again soon!

We felt like we'd spent an evening in Portugal. The warmth and music and the really really fabulous food. Add to that the live guitar playing, the champagne and chocolate cake for my partner's birthday! So attentive, spontaneous and friendly. We'll be back as soon as we can

This is a small restaurant with a cosy atmosphere. Lovely food and great service. Highly recommended if you like Portuguese cuisine. We will be back.

Good tasty food, great atmosphere, excellent service . Thanks for a brilliant evening .
