We don't live near Alberton at all and it was recommended by friends. We decided to try it since we were coming from Vereeniging.
We were very pleased with the food and the AWESOME service from our waiter. Due to the amount of food we ordered and we wanted it at the same time, he moved us to a bigger table to accommodate that and he brought me an extra takeaway box for some leftover breads that I wanted for my dogs.
As for the food, it was proper authentic Portuguese taste and flavours. For starters, we ordered giblets, clams and tripe. It was so delicious that I was drinking the sauces. For mains, we ordered the crab curry, the espetada and rabbit. It was just as good and they made a yummy white sauce for their vegetables servings (not your typical roasted veggies or butternut/creamed spinach). The beef espetada had a buttery, smoked marinade on it and they cooked to our perfection (medium rare) My husband enjoyed the traditional Portuguese dessert, molotof, I had a dom pedro and my son had the Ola Magnum Almond ice-cream which the waiter put on a plate with a serviette which it was a nice touch.
Overall, a good meal and we will definitely return. The only expensive meal on our bill was the crab curry which is very normal to pay for shellfish.

A lovely lunch with the family. It was our first time there. I must say it was refreshing to have a comfy couch outside to have a smoke at instead of the usual set ups at restaurants where one feels like a leper for smoking. I loved that.
Amazing setting with the convenience of outdoor or indoor tables and seats. Enough to keep kids entertained the entire time and if you dont have kids.. the option is there to just sit on one of the super comfy couches and enjoy the lovely food and assortment of cocktails.
