We had a great dinner. We ate a fried chicken and a grilled sea bream. Both were tasty but the part that made our evening extra special was our waiter - Perseu. He was so helpful and friendly. His English was excellent and he was such a joy. Our meals plus a bottle of wine was €32. Thank you Perseu for a wonderful evening!
A wonderful dining experience. Queues out the door for takeaway, needless to say the Churrasco is exceptional. But the restaurant is seriously worth a visit. We enjoyed wonderful service and hospitality from the gentleman serving. The chicken was delicious! Served with pickled vegetables and chips. A spicy sauce on the side for a bit more pep. The service was intuitive, he anticipated our needs, was very friendly, yet not overbearing. Great value for money too. The food came extremely quickly (the restaurant is pumping out orders from the raging pit), if it was my business I'd slow the restaurant orders down a touch.... Just to get more drink orders from patrons, but that's just me. Anyway. A Viana mainstay. A delicious experience. Cannot wait to return.
This is a two part business. One side is the kitchen, out of which take out food flows. There is standing room only for takeout, which was a sign of the quality. I ate in the sit-down restaurant and the quality vas nice. This is the first place in portugal where the rice was spot-on. Entree, beer and soup 13 euros. I have since my initial review, returned for both take out, and pizza. The chicken and ribs are both excellent for the price as the long lines can indicate. The pizza was good, same dough as their rolls, and cost 8 euros.
Tell us what you ordered and what it cost. Two or three sentences about one dish is more useful to the next person than a star rating.
Nearest first, then across the Rio Grande Valley.
