One of our favourite places to go when we are at Quinta. It’s also open on Monday when many restaurants here are closed. Do not be fooled by the very basic entrance! Behind the doors is a gem of a restaurant 😉 Trying to get a table in the lovely little garden is a bit of a lottery but the inside is really nice too. The tapas is always really good and last night I had an amazing strawberry mille feuille which was to die for! Staff are friendly and helpful and know their stuff. Definitely recommend

9.5/10Brava was recommended to us and the food certainly did not disappoint! Excellent Tapas and great cocktails. The location, next to the road, is unfortunate and you will hear the constant traffic from the garden, but the food quality makes up for the traffic noise. Service was friendly and efficient. Booking is needed and your table is allocated for 2 hours. We will definitely return

10/10The welcome from the start , the warmth of the staff together with their assertiveness, the kitchen confidence and ability to deliver such quality . Stand out dish… soft shell crab and and shrimp on toasted brioche. We’d be back every day for this. Cinque Stella ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

6/10The Picanha steak Was not cooked well, it was almost like it was stewed from not being on hot enough pan/grill. The burger was ok, but a bit grisly. The desserts were excellent.
Brava • Owner
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the desserts, but we're truly sorry to learn that the Picanha steak and burger didn’t meet expectations. Your comments about the steak's texture and the burger's quality have been noted, and we’ll be addressing this with our kitchen team to ensure our standards are consistently met. We appreciate your input — it helps us improve — and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a better experience next time. Restaurante BRAVA

9.5/10Food quality is excellent, service is top. Wine list could be improved (longer because the diversity is there). Outside seating space could be rearranged. But overall, a must visit!

4.5/10We arrived 15 minutes late and were told off like 2 school kids !! I think the manager doesn’t understand the meaning of hospitality … We only stayed a half hour as it destroyed our evening
Brava • Owner
Thank you for your feedback. We take punctuality seriously as it ensures that all our guests receive the best possible experience. Arriving 15 minutes ( was 25 minutes ) late impacts not only your reservation but also the flow of service for others. Our team explained this politely, in line with our policies, and never with the intention to offend. We are sorry if you perceived it differently, but we believe that mutual respect is essential in hospitality. We always welcome guests who value both the quality of service and the efforts we make to accommodate everyone. Restaurant Brava José Fernandes

10/10Brava Tapas is one of our favourites. With a constantly changing menu of small plates it is always a delight to try tapas of the day. In this case a deconstructed prawn cracker with red prawn meat on a delicate cracker made of seafood stock and egg white - scrummy !
