"Truly authentic Portuguese restaurant or at least great seafood restaurant with amazing taste! I came here yesterday evening for dinner and although the menu had a bit of seafood starters and main, my wife and I went for some meaty meals like sirloin steak and lamb shank and went for grilled octopus as extra main as it looks pretty beautiful. We were surprised by how juicy the octopus was. Every bite of it is such divine!! The steak was cooked well and really juicy too. Lamb shank was good too. I ended up the night with the homemade chocolate cake and Portuguese custard tart. I must say the tart was lovely and they heated up warm. My wife left her phone at the restaurant and we realised that after we got home. The owner, Jorge was kind enough to keep it for us to collect them next day. My wife and I decided to come back here travelling from Stratford to Crystal Palace, not a short journey to collect the phone and also dine in for lunch as the food was just superb!! We had white wine this time with some great seafood starters and mains. We ordered the grilled octopus again and we were mind blown by the size of the dish! Absolutely fantastic!! I would definitely recommend everyone to give this restaurant a try. They do bake the Portuguese tart fresh daily, based on what I could see the tray by the entrance. It’s a local family run restaurant located around Crystal Palace. You may have to call to book a table although my wife and I were quite lucky to get a table for 2 during both lunch and dinner time! Greatly recommended 10/10 for this! The price of this restaurant is average for London standards in fact cheaper than what I would eat in central London."

"The last time I ate in this building was over 25 years ago when the restaurant was Montmerencies. It was excellent so I decided to give the Flaming Cow a try. The menu options were very limited. My wife selected the half rack and wings combo and i went for a burger. The burger did not come with French fries but my wife’s choice did. As she is not a great lover of fries I didn’t order an extra portion to accompany my burger but did ask for a side of onion rings. Despite there being 3 types of ale on the menu the only one available was a 330 ml can of Camden Pale Ale at 6 pounds. I didn’t realise the price when ordering or I would have made do with water. My wife went for a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. There were only two wines available, the SB and a Malbec. The wine appeared to have been subjected to a reverse miracle, having been turned from wine into water. It was so weak that I am surprised it was allowed out without an accompanying nurse. The waitress returned to advise me that they were out of onion rings so did I want another side instead. I would have had a salad except the only one on the menu was a full main course chicken salad. I declined. When the food arrived my burger was ok but nothing special. The ribs on my wife’s meal were excellent, tasty and with the meat falling off the bones. The same could not be said of the wings. I know people have differing palates but I never thought that wings could be made inedible for me. The taste was of a concoction of chemicals that were never meant to be in the vicinity of food. We left and retired to the George, opposite, where I was able to enjoy a couple of pints of Guardsman at “only” 5 pounds a pint. This was my first and last visit to the Flaming Cow."
