Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This place really makes you feel like you’re on holiday in Portugal. Soo delicious. This is not our first time and it certainly won’t be our last. Some of the best food in Plymouth.

A little gem of a place, recommended by a colleague hosting a training course in Plymouth. The 9 of us were delighted at the excellent food, service and friendliness of the venue. Excellent value and quality of food and the staff were super helpful and...informative. I would recommend that you seek this out if visiting Plymouth.More

Went to Plymouth for a work trip, and was looking for Portuguese food to win brownie points with my Portuguese girlfriend. Went here on the recommendation of colleagues and wasn't disappointed, the place is authentic Portuguese and the staff are very hospitable. I ended up...visiting this place 3 times. I tried the Rissois, and can't explain to you how good the meat ones were. Next i tried the chirrausco- peri peri chicken and chorizo. Loved this dish, was typical authentic Portuguese with the fried egg, rice and fries. Finally i tried the Francesinho sandwich. I can't explain to you how much you need to try this. This is meat heaven and will open your mind to a new dish. Melted cheese over white bread with different types of meat in a tomato beer sauce. Its definitely heavy but worth a try, like once a year...More

If you are new to Portuguese cuisine it is one of the most diverse and at the same time most satisfying cuisines in Europe and as good as it is there is a lot more to it than Peri Peri Chicken. We have been to...Portugal many many times from Braga and Giumares in the north to Beja and Evora in the south and what this restaurant does is completely replicate those dishes from the different areas, add to this really good staff and a fantastic atmosphere this has to be one of the best restaurants in Plymouth. We started with a sharing platter of meats, cheeses and olives and the Churica was heavenly. Then my wife had a Chicken Skewer and I had Pork with Clams and pickles. All the dishes we fantastic. If they were open tonight I would be back there. Prices very reasonable and portions good, and served fresh and hot. We loved it. Give it a try.More

We visited on a Saturday evening and were very grateful to the manager who managed to fit us in despite being fully booked. Gorgeous food, beautifully cooked (their skewers are something else, and the pastries make you realise how much flavour is missing from supermarket...pasteis de nata), and just a lovely atmosphere to the place - real sense of community, with folk sitting around drinking coffee into the evening, and families everywhere.More

Every time I have been to this restaurant I have walked away happy and tonight was no exception. Managed to get a table without booking. The waiter was extremely friendly and polite. Gave us a full descriptions of the menu items and even explained what...part of Portugal the recipes were from. He recommended a wine that was exquisite. The food was, as usual, stunning. The skewer I had was full of great big chunks of meat with superb chips - cooked with their skins - and veg. The steak my partner had was the best she'd had in at least 20 years and both were so reasonably priced. We were the last to leave but even then, as they were trying to slowly close up, when I asked if there was any chance of a coffee they said no problems at all. Ended taking the coffee out onto the table at the front of the shop outside and mellowed out until the restaurant closed. Don't be put off by people sat out front drinking coffee or beer; inside, out back, is the most beautiful little restaurant with fantastic food. The way it is set up and run, you could be in Portugal. Great night, amazing food, superb service and no rush at all. What more could you possibly want?More

I took my parents there for their wedding anniversary and there was a very happy family with young children there at the same time. So I would say yes, most definitely.
