We are a native Portuguese family and are therefore accustomed to Portuguese cuisine. This was by far one of the worst experiences I have ever encountered in the UK. When asked if the restaurant had Portuguese bread, the waitress very openly admitted that they abandoned conventional Portuguese bread for Tesco alternatives. The bread in question was not bad but it was terrible to hear they didn’t have authentic Portuguese breads available. As an alternative we were offered ciabatta. The selection of foods available on the menu were good. We weren’t alarmed by the high prices as authentic Portuguese restaurants in the UK have a tendency to be a bit pricey. But you pay for authenticity. This wa...
Despite all the bad reviews, we decided to give it a try for dinner. We ordered the mixed grilled fish for 2 people seeing the price before we went as £52.95 on The Fork app but it was actually £57.95 on the menu that was given to us. The Salmon, sea bream, mussels, clams and the prawns were tasty but the squid was absolutely rubbery and tastless. When the famous owner/manager that everyone was talking about came and ask how the food was, we said all fine but the squid was not great at all and then all she said was sorry sorry (with like deal with it, pay and go kind of tone and attitude) whilst walking away from the table. After 5 minutes, she then walks to the table with the dessert menu o...
The food was decent, which is why I gave this restaurant 3 stars. However, the welcome we received upon entering was quite cold. When my friend, her young son, and I asked for a high chair, it seemed like an inconvenience to the staff. Despite us being the only customers there during lunch time, they felt the need to rearrange tables and chairs, creating a lot of noise that made it difficult for us to have a conversation. The owner of the restaurant started shouting at someone, which made us feel uncomfortable. Our plates were not cleared away even though we had finished eating, and when we wanted to split the bill, we were told it wasn't possible because of the card machine. Overall, the la...
A friend took me to this restaurant, O Calhau . O Calhau in Portuguese means The Stone . A woman served us, and my friend told me she owned the restaurant! The owner may think she holds a Michelin Star restaurant, but to be honest, she is far from it. The menu is very confusing and messy, and it 's very priced up compared to the other restaurants that I have been to Her attitude and customer service skills towards us were disgusting and appalling, and she doesn 't care about you! She may have a brain made of Calhau ; it may be the reason for the restaurant 's name! It was the worst experience that I had in a restaurant. I feel sorry for the staff of this restaurant. Honestly, you will never... Réservez une table maintenant
Whilst the food is ok, it isn’t something absolutely divine. Don’t get me wrong, it has flavour and it’s ok, but not mind blowing. And for the prices, that is exactly what I was expecting. I was really shocked when the bill came through (my own fault, they do have the prices on the menu) and a small bottle of coca-cola is £3.95! Also, the desserts aren’t exactly portuguese which was disappointing. A service charge of 10% was added, likely as we were a group of 6. Ok restaurant, but that is it.
My friends recommended this restaurant, and it was my first time eating here. The food was amazing, but the place was very busy and cramped. This is great for their business, but if you prefer more space, it might not be ideal for you. I would definitely recommend booking a table in advance. The food was fantastic once again!
