Amazing honest food steeped in tradition, a unique
and open atmosphere with flavours and food to die for this is a must, plain decor but your taste buds will be wildly entertained
Love this well hidden restaurant serving old-school Portuguese dished Benfica (the soccer club based in Lisbon) players will be proud off! Entree I shared with was the clams, probably frozen but the sauce was stunning, and the soup of the day: Caldo Verde; traditional potato soup heavily flavoured with garlic containing greens (this case kale) and pieces of Chorizo. So delicious! The portion was huge! And then our mains came: the Arroz de Marisco was enough for two people and had an amazing spicy kick to it! And the Bacalhau Assado was just... huge! So quit on your diet, come starving, and enjoy a wonderful feast of Portugal!
Great Portuguese restaurant with excellent seafood dishes and abundant portions. Depending on the day they can get very busy and service can be pretty slow, but if you can wait it's worth it. Friendly service in an old style club with people playing tennis in the courts outside and kids running around everywhere. They had live music while we were there, but for me it was all about the food. The share seafood platter was the standout.
I was feeling homesick and the best way to fix it is through food... So as soon as we found out about this place we just had to give it a go. I went for a bitoque because if it's a portuguese place you can't go wrong. Big room, right on spot menu with affordable places. And everything is delicious! Oh, and it was the nicest espresso in Sydney so far.

Be warned. Portions are massive. Our terracotta dish of sizzling garlic prawns holds about 8 prawns for $17. The prawns are plump and sweet but it's the caramelised garlic oil that's the real winner. Our waiter is quick to replenish our bread basket as we soak up the last sticky remnants of oil.
The vongole clams are listed as an entree but it's more of a main in portion size. Some of the clams do have a little grit and sand, but otherwise they're cooked masterfully, tender and succulent in their dousing of tangy lemony sauce.
This place is the best value traditional Portuguese food ive ever had the pleasure of indulging in.Have eaten here many times and always exceeds expectations. My tip is to have someone interpret the specials board and you simply cant go wrong.The normal menu is just as good and you will not be disappointed. Something for everyone and very child friendly.
