Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Generous portion sizes stand out as a highlight at The Portuguese Grill. Diners rave about the steak, which has earned a reputation for being incredibly flavorful and grilled to perfection.
Affordable prices make this restaurant a popular choice for lunch or dinner, especially with meals like a full steak, drinks, and desserts available for around £27.
The warm and inviting atmosphere welcomes everyone, creating a communal vibe that feels like being part of a large family gathering. Fans enjoy relaxing here, where friendly servers facilitate a smooth dining experience.
Most Disliked
Some customers mention that certain dishes, particularly the ribs, could use a bit more meat to satisfy their expectations.
A basic interior design may not appeal to everyone, especially those looking for a more upscale atmosphere. The focus here remains squarely on the food rather than decor.
Occasional crowded days may lead to longer wait times, especially on peak days like Monday afternoons. It's advisable to visit during quieter hours for a more relaxed experience.

Update: My second visit was super special. A lovely lady served me and was happy to swap my items and let me have 6 eggs! A wonderful vibrant place. An amazing steak experience, the waitress listened to my request of just meat and eggs and did me a special meal at a special price. It was the biggest tastiest and best steak I’d ever had! Around 24oz and grilled to perfection! Accompanying the steak was some stunning sausage, chicken and veal! Basic interior cafe style with a very buzzing Portuguese clientele. One small minus was the ribs, they did not contain much meat. An all round great experience and I will return. Amazing and helpful server.

This is the simplest place you’ll find — and that’s exactly what makes it special. No fancy frills, just authentic, honest, and healthy Portuguese food, cooked with care. Portion sizes are generous, the prices are more than fair, and the flavours will make you feel like you’ve just walked into a real Portuguese kitchen. It’s probably the most unpretentious restaurant you’ll ever visit. Go see it for yourself — it’s well worth the trip.

2 pints, a starter, a big delicious main course and a espresso for £27 is great value for these days. The customer service was top notch, it felt like being in Portugal for a minute

The food is great, first time I enjoyed a beef steak after many years, the food was truly amazing, I would tell everyone to visit it and not attention to the atmosphere of the place, it is worth trying the food there.
