The best restaurants serving Portuguese food in England

I always like to read reviews but not really one for writing them. However, this place is so good I feel I must. A visit to see our son in Kingston is never complete unless we have been to Mimosa. We accidentally fell on this little place a year or so ago and used it as a coffee shop. However it’s so much more than that. We went in yesterday to share a bottle or two of delicious Portuguese wine which turned into a lovely Portuguese meal as well. Hoping to return today before we depart for home to have coffee and cake. It’s such a lovely place with very friendly, extremely knowledgeable staff who are always eager to please. Karen

Brilliant food, good service and reasonable. The beef kebab was to die for but all the food was good.

Stopped for some excellent coffee (Lavazza) and a sandwich. A tiny, dog-friendly café, with a couple of tables outside. We sat inside and chatted to a couple of locals while Manny made our food and felt very welcome indeed. Recommended.

Had a great meal here early evening today with my grandchildren. Tasty, well cooked, homemade coleslaw ( not the usual industrial tasteless stuff - believe me, I'm an expert) and divine chips! Super service, great value too as one child eats free with a full paying adult. All very tasty and we will be going again!

Fantastic tarts. Got a 6-pack of the classic flavour in the market at York. So good. Best I've had outside of Portugal. Chap serving was very friendly. Highly recommend.

I've only ever popped in for a coffee and a cheese scone but have found both to be excellent. The staff are wonderful and always smiling and courteous. I hope to make time to pop in for something more adventurous soon. Would highly recommend a visit if you've not been already.

Desde o primeiro dia que a forma como fomos recebidos foi a mais familiar possível, a Dona Mônica foi quem nos atendeu e nos tratou maravilhosamente bem . Eramos 2 adultos e 3 adolescentes e foi o nosso primeiro jantar em Londres . Além da simpatia ,a confeção de toda a comida foi maravilhosa e estava tudo muito bom . O preço super ajustado e a qualidade de tudo foi irrepreensível, ainda lá voltamos mais umas 3 vezes e em todas elas fomos servidos muito bem . Só lamento não estar mais perto do centro de Londres pois teria sido a nossa escolha para todas as refeições durante a semana que por lá estivemos :) Se um dia voltarmos , garantidamente que este é o local a visitar . Mais uma vez o nosso enorme agradecimento á Dona Monica e ao seu filho que não recordo o nome que foram com quem mais lidamos . Votos do maior sucesso e que seja sempre a crescer pois merecem .

I love this place. We went there twice with my partner to enjoy a wonderful breakfast on our Saturdays. The atmosphere, the down-to-earth service and genuine care is felt. Cheap, good, will come again!

We were in Soham whilst passing by and we went here for dinner. It was fantastic!! A proper locally owned place with lovely people. The food was amazing, so tasty and the wine tasted fantastic. I honestly think this place is a hidden gem and I really recommend this place for food and drink.

Good food shit service, rude ignorant was a fan so decided to come in on my birthday to then be ignored, left waiting, been coming here for years will not be coming ever again.

Was excellent as always! Hadn’t been in a few months and forgot how good it was! Miles above Nando’s and Pepes, better value for money as well! Would highly recommend!!!

Always wanted to try this restaurant even when it was in Acocks Green and now that it’s in Solihull had high hopes . So we booked up for a Saturday night meal out , friendly front of house staff showed us to the table which was for six but there was only four of us no real issue but it left very little room to get round . Anyway the restaurant was full and extremely warm even with the fire doors open to try and keep the temperature down , so drinks order taken and we added water as well to make sure we had enough. So the starter I went for was the toast with prawns and mushrooms in a chilli butter sauce , spot on and went down a treat . The main I wanted wasn’t available so had to make another choice which was disappointing for a Saturday night, I went in the end for Francesinha Porto Douro which was very nice and would have again. We were so full that we didn’t order a sweet but when the coffee’s came they gave us some Portuguese tarts on the house . Overall not as I expected but willing to give it another chance and see if it improves .

En general, muy buena comida. En particular, las gambas al ajo son increíbles, si prueba este lugar, asegúrese de ordenar las gambas! Y también un grito para el hachís de bacalao salado, muy buena comida. La selección de vinos también es muy buena , y el restaurante tiene un ambiente muy agradable con asientos «En el mostrador». Otro punto álgido fue el pastelito Pasteis de Nata simple pero tan efectivo para el desierto, con un encantador helado de canela. Una vez más, un must try. La única desventaja importante para mí, y la razón por la que no tiene 5 estrellas, es que uno de los platos que pedimos fue el arroz de pato y chorizo. Simplemente no funciona. Sabor muy limitado y poco de qué gritar, llegaría a decir que es soso. El restaurante tiene que reconsiderar este plato. No se hizo ninguna queja ya que admiro el intento de creatividad pero no funciona.

Walk in , greeted and sat down , looked around and see a lot of character and great ambience , and then , I looked at the menu and just went backwards in joy ! Couldn't really make up my mind as just everything in it looked so mouth watering ...and it was , every little bit so well cooked by the Goan Chef , that you can taste every spice , every flavor . Don't just read this , give it a go . You will not regret it !

Mis amigos familiares y yo hemos utilizado MAD durante tantos años como puedo recordar y la calidad de la bienvenida, la comida y el servicio nunca se exime, es solo pura excelencia. Sandrina y su personal siempre hacen todo lo posible para darle la mejor experiencia y bienvenida, insuperable. Muy recomendable, la prueba es que este lugar casi nunca tiene un período de tranquilidad! La gente lo usa una vez y 99. El 9 % de las veces, están enganchados y regresan una y otra vez! ¡Tan cerca de la perfección como jamás te pongas!
