Absolutely horrible service, if you are black then you won't get any service just policing as if you are a criminal. I will definitely will never spend my money here again. Pity because because my kids love the bunny hop rabbit park at observatory.

This was only second visit to this restaurant as a patron. The owner, a delightful Portugese man by the name of Jorge who's always smiling.

The waitrons that have served me as well as the other ones were all full of smiles, our waitress was very attentive but not to the extent of disturbing. There's 2 types of waiters I dislike the most, first is the one we need to keep looking for all the time and the other is the waiter who's continually asking "is everything fine? " every time you take a bite.

You have the option of sitting comfortably indoors or equally comfortably in the open air under the shade of the trees.

They have a good selection on their menu as well as their daily specials. I'd ordered their Espetada (Kebab) which is rump cubes grilled on a skewer. This was well priced and a decent portion. It was absolutely delicious, this was served with a bit of salad, a handful of fried chips as well as cubes of fried maize.

They have an animal yard (zoo) on the property & plenty of space for kids to occupy themselves.

I will definitely visit them again.

Peaceful spot, especially on a weekday afternoon / early evening. Good Calamari and steak. Don't even think about asking for salad as a side dish, though. This is strictly a chips kind of joint!

Good service, enjoyed sitting in the outside area where I could watch my child play on the gym. Children can also go to the bunny hop area as long as there is an older responsible child with them

So glad they survived lockdown. Not much ambiance. But homely service and traditional dishes made dishes make it a gem.

I have been there twice with family and must admit that the food is tasty home made traditional Portuguese food. Saturday evenings service was good, yet Sundays waiter kept on forgetting about us and was always taking his time. However the family had a pleasant time. Oh the dessert menu is very restricted which is sad as the Portuguese cuisine has so many easy tasty recipes one can try. Anyhow its good food at a good price
