What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Portuguese House is lauded for its authentic Portuguese cuisine, particularly its exceptional seafood dishes like the seafood risotto and grilled squid. Diners consistently praise the warm ambiance of the renovated house and the attentive, friendly service. While most reviews are glowing, a few minor points of criticism include occasional inconsistency in dish preparation and the suggestion to better list ingredients like calamari on the menu to avoid surprises.
"The Portuguese House was a great find. We were almost turned away at 4:30 PM for not having a reservation—even though it wasn’t full—so definitely book ahead. The young host was lovely and welcoming. The food was excellent—the seafood risotto was full of flavour and the seafood was cooked perfectly. The Portuguese tart was also a standout. Service was attentive and friendly throughout."

"This restaurant serves decent Portuguese food, and you can tell the decor is inspired by Portugal. It features a lot of tiles and some decorations that evoke the atmosphere of Lisbon. The entire restaurant is a renovated house, giving it a unique feel. The staff are very welcoming and the food is good. Just be sure to book a table in advance, as walk-ins are almost always turned away."

"Amazing place and I think this should actually be a Michelin star even a Bib.
The starters are amazing and shrimp was cooked like never before. The flavour and sauce were so good. The grilled calamari was grilled to perfection.
My wife got the seafood linguine and it was so amazing. The mussels, the shrimps and salmon were so good. Cooked just right I don't know how they did it. The salmon wasn't overcooked or undercooked.
The portugese chicken was a good one. Cooked nicely, soft and juicy, sauce was nice. However, I think they're much better with their seafood. Would love to try their steak next time though. Would definitely come back again and bring more people."
