We ate here as a couple, and had a really great meal! Managed to get a last minute booking and it was worth the visit. Thought the set menu was really good value. Only one thing missing would be the “after dinner limoncello” but that’s...the only thing missing!More

We ate at this restaurant for the first time with both Jersey and visiting family members. Lots of choices on the varied menu, including some of our personal favourites of Portuguese cuisine. My husband had the beef espetada which he said was the best that...he had ever had (and he has had lots!) and I had the chicken picadinho which was excellent, other items that received much praise were the sardines, the figs with cheese and the delicious biscuit cake. The service was very friendly and a lovely evening was enjoyed by everyone. We’ll be back!More

This was a lovely surprise find. Delicious food, not a long wait and accommodating and friendly towards children with a dedicated children’s menu. Reasonable drinks prices. We enjoyed the tuna and the chicken.

Quite unassuming from the outside, we just called in on the off chance that they might have a table for the 6 of us. They fit us in and were very accommodating. They had booster seats for the children and a kid’s menu. Most importantly...the food was amazing and we’re considering revisiting before our holiday is over.More

Lovely small restaurant tucked away down a side road but very nice. We went back the next evening and was equally as good. The menu is varied and reasonably priced and is good quality and accurately described. All the staff were very pleasant. We would...recommend this establishment and go again.More

This may be a small restaurant but the food and the friendly service is first class. Had two wonderful evening meals here and spoilt for choose with the menu. The seafood pasta was outstanding! The tiramisu, clearly handmade was truly delicious.

We stumbled across this adorable restaurant as we walked back from St Helier to the Merton hotel. It looked so inviting, so we popped in and booked for the following night. It was a perfect evening out. The food was absolutely delicious. They have an...excellent chef and the menu was full of interesting choices. I’d recommend any of the traditional Portuguese dishes, the four of us all had something different and they were all individually excellent. I think it’s a family run business, the staff were very professional. I’d recommend you seek this restaurant out, you won’t be disappointed. It was very reasonably priced too, I would have expected to pay a lot more for a meal of that quality.More

Wonderful food and great service. We had a skewer dish and seafood cataplan. Both were excellent. We enjoyed it so much that we returned and had 2 seafood cataplans which were beyond excellent. I'd thoroughly recommend this small neighbourhood restaurant.

This is a delightful, friendly old fashioned restaurant. The food is very good. My Portuguese Espetada with rice, chips & salad was excellent, as was the House Red Wine. Great value for money.

On entering the restaurant it’s like going back in time but we were made to feel really welcome , the lady and gentleman serving us were very attentive. To be honest we didn’t think the food was the best but it was OK, the smoked...salmon pasta was very nice but the chicken dish was not as expected, on the bone which we didn’t like but that is our personal choice, no judgement on the restaurant, that is probably how the dish should be served! Plenty of side dishes served with mains.More

Excellent little restaurant on the edge of St Helier. Spotted it on the way through and very glad to visit in the evening. Good value if you look, otherwise it can rack up.

It was a simple family restaurant that should have been busier. The food was great. The service was appropriate (they weren't trying too hard - they were helpful but not 'in your face'). We ordered two mains and two drinks for under £50. A little...pricey but worth it. I look forward to going there again.More
