A friend who shares my interest in food and wine suggested we try this restaurant. He stated "best Portuguese food in Sydney and as cheap as chips". Well what could we do but go!Our usual Friday night crew, - my wife, our granddaughter and our friend Albert went last night, 30 September 2016.The restaurant is situated in Marrickville Tennis Club, a licensed club with poker machines. The restaurant has a dance floor and a stage. It looked like most, if not all, the guests were Portuguese or Spanish. The "special' were written only in Portuguese. The menu was both in Portuguese and English.One needed to go to the Club bar to purchase drinks at Club prices (i.e. low). The red wines were priced...

Booked for lunch last week, an older man took the booking and assured me they were open on the 28th. Not being comfortable about amateur restaurateurs, I called today to make sure they were open. I called 7 times...line was constantly busy. We figured (wrongly) that they were open, but busy in the kitchen and couldn't be bothered to answer the phone. Checked the website...website said they were open. Drove out there, guy at the bar was horrified that we thought it was open, checked the restaurant booking diary which said restaurant open. Said the phone wasn't working properly (because it was set on busy). Apologised profusely that the restaurant was closed until later in January and patrons...
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.
Great Portuguese restaurant with excellent seafood and rich portions. Depending on the day you can be busy, and the service can be quite slow, but if you can wait for it worth it.

They had live music while we were there, but for me it was all about the food. The partial seafood plate was the standout. Book a table now
I felt homesickness and the best way to fix it is through the food ... As soon as we found out about this place, we just had to give it a go. I went for a bittoch, because if it's a Portuguese place, you can not go wrong. Large room, directly on the spot menu with affordable places. And everything is delicious! Oh, and so far, it was the most beautiful espresso in Sydney.
This place is the best value for money traditional Portuguese foods ever had the pleasure of catching up. Often eaten often and always exceeds expectations. My tip is to have someone who interprets the Special's Board, and you can just go wrong. The normal menu is just as good and you will not be disappointed. Something for everyone and very child friendly.
