"After a birthday gift show, my daughter and I ate lunch at this restaurant. The food was really excellent but the service was so bad. It was a birthday lunch for the two of us and we were hungry as we had spent the morning at a show. It started off quite well and we were given a table at the back of the restaurant next to a family table of around 10 adults and children, clearly the granny’s birthday and very festive. We ordered starters which arrived duly and then ordered out main meal which was the special of the day. My food came after about 30 minutes but my daughter had to wait over an hour for her meal. My food was getting cold whilst we waited and I did not want to eat alone. I shared my meal with her and by the time her food came she was no longer hungry . We kept asking the waiters for our food but the waiter was only interested in The Family table. He appeared to have had a few drinks himself! We complained politely. There was no apology and not even an offer of any kind. We did order desert as well but I feel the service was almost rude. Of course we don’t want anything for nothing but an offer of a desert or drink would have have softened the experience. After all it was my daughter’s birthday and I wanted things to go smoothly. Such a pity. The restaurant was recommended to us but sadly if it’s service you want, then don’t go there. The food was good but we did not feel nice after the way we were treated."

Friendly service and generous portion of seafood rice (which can be taken away if you can’t finish it). The restaurant has a homely atmosphere. There are cod and prawn croquettes that can be requested off menu.

The food was bland.the clams were chewy.the polvo was dry.pota? The bread was also chewy.i live quite far and this time it was an awful experience.i was served by a Brazilian waiter.he was quite attentive.hence.i left £10 cash tip.but overall it was dreadfull.being Portuguese I expect the food to be of the finest quality.not so.this time.very disappointed. As I have been coming to this rest.for a few years .this time awfull. I'm in the hospitality branch.so it's rather sad to get so downed quality food.

AVOID!!! I’m literally so disgusted One of the staff (bald guy with glasses) who was serving us came CUSSING my family because we had difficulty understanding him. Literally he made signs with his hands that meant “f off then” He was incredibly, I mean EXTRAORDINARY uneducated! Words cannot describe how unhappy he made our table feel. As guests at a restaurant , we communicate and deal with people in a delicate manner , completely opposite of what happened that night. If you wanna want to be treated badly go to this restaurant. Made us lose our appetite. Disgusted View menu

I enquired the portugueses comunity on facebook about which portuguese restaurants to go in London, most recomended to go to A toca so we decided to try it. The restaurant is exactly the same as any other everyday portuguese restaurants in portugal, the staff was very nice and funny, the food was amazing, tradicionaly cooked the way we do it in Portugal. One of the best things is the fact they have smaller wine bottle for some of the best wines which is great if you like wine and don 't want to drink a glass from a bottle that has been open for a while. The deserts were good also. Great experience overall.

Nothing from being authentic Portuguese food. Wouldn’t go again. I was excited to go but it’s just not a place to go. Welcome in Portuguese and disappointment look that I don’t speak Portuguese. Bread like from tesco. Nothing like Portuguese nice bread. Olives just from a can. Wine is as great as I had it in Portugal. Caterina. Seafood rice also disappointing with long night stomach pains. It’s not even about last detail about being sick. It’s about claiming being Portuguese but not providing authentic feeling that you have food from heart of Portugal. Couple next to us just tried their food. Then packed take away and left. Such a shame. I hope they will be back to quality from menu years be...
