We had to wait more than 15 minutes just to get a menu. Thereafter, when we were eventually served and our table cleaned sufficiently, we placed our order.
The chicken livers and the prawn cakes were tasty as starters with minor issues that were negligible when compared to the promise of mains that we came all the way from Pretoria for.
The peri peri chicken that I tasted for mains was mostly cooked and tasty. However the prawns that my partner ordered was overcooked and did not have the same amazing taste that we have come to know from Restaurante Parreirinha. With the volume of food that is offered and our naturally smaller appetite capacities, take always was inevitable.
My reason for writing this review was because of what happened the next day while attempting to consume the leftover food. It came to be that the rice that accompanied the prawns dish was clearly gone off, owing to the sticky texture. Almost R200 worth of prawns had to be thrown away as the prawns were placed on the bed of rice that had gone off. The issues mentioned above would've been easily negligible and not worthy of mention on its own. However, in viewing all these issues cumulatively makes one realize that the restaurant has become too busy to care about a couple that requested a small intimate table to celebrate their anniversary. Unfortunately due to the poor planning, was placed in between two large and loud groups of people where we couldn't even hear ourselves talk to each other. The conversations at the other tables were quite interesting and entertaining for us.

Still the very best Portuguese restaurant in Johannesburg. We had Garlic Steak and the Squid and with the most delicious vegetables! Be aware of the very potent Portuguese Peri Peri sauce on the table, it's hot! very hot!!! Good food, great service and we will be back!

Visited this place as everyone was going crazy over it. Food is overpriced (1 queen prawn for R39). Portions is big. Taste is good but i mean nothing to rant and rave about. Glad i tried it but definitely other places to try.

8 Prawns will cost you R312, and you'll still be hungry!
8 Queen prawns - dried out, overcooked at R312! For that money I could go to a proper restaurant. When asked the waiter why he did not inform us when we ordered that is was so expensive, he said management does not want to put the price. So we're not the first to complain, it's a common problem, and they're tricking the customers. Waiter could not care less, did not even bring a wine list, terrible service on top of it. Will never go here again.

Very good service and the food was tasty and the quantity made me take some home haha. Only down side was the room we sat in had a funny smell and was not warm. Overall a definite return shall occur.
