    The seafood rice was fantastic - especially with a bit of the house piri-piri. Welcoming service.

    The grilled octopus and grilled sea bass had a great chat flavour, well seasoned. The service was exceptional.

    We enjoyed our traditional meal of codfish cakes followed by grilled fish plates. The delicious potatoes and fresh salads were good accompaniments. Service was prompt. The decor was quite plain and simple.

    We always enjoy our meals at Manjar da Vila!! Great homestyle Portuguese dishes and very kind staff. Grilled fish, salads, feijoada, and a banana split!

    it wasn't special. the octopus was a bit too well done and the steak was hard and chewy. if it wasn't for the discount it would be expensive for the quality. We were in this restaurantvbefore and it was great. But it was another owner. parking here is nearly impossible so if you want to try it walk to it.

    Delicious food and warm service. I just don't know that the Portugal restaurant % tax should be settled separately at checkout。

    We had a delicious dinner! Our server, Sasha, was attentive and helpful. The lulas (squid) and robalo (sea bass) were tender and well cooked. Don't forget dessert! the petite gateaux with ice cream was fantastic.

    A very busy local restaurant but we were served by hard working attentive waiters who just took all our orders and delivered delicious food with a smile.

    Food & sangria were so fresh & delicious. Menu has lots of choice specialising in fish which we all opted for - octopus, sea bass, shrimp & fish rice - menu also has some good meat choices too. We sampled chocolate cake, almond cake & banana split. All were simply delicious. Restaurant is bright, clean and definitely worth a visit.

    Amazing grilled octopus (and I know how it should be after living many years in Cyprus)! Soft and flavorsome. Friendly staff, fast service.

    Once we arrived, the reservation was not ready for us and in the end they did not apply the 30% discount mentioned in "The Fork". The food is ok, nice service and cosy place. Bit overpriced for the quality.

    Ok - drinks not v cold, food took quite a while. Had to ask for the 30% from booking offer. Sides for mains were mediocre but fish was cooked well.

    We’ve eaten here quite a few times, mainly all good. But this time we felt the service was not up to par (incorrect steak order meaning one meal was re-ordered and therefore much later than the others). If a new member of staff is being trained, for example, personally I’d be more than happy to be told this by the proprietor in order to ‘lower’ our service expectations, and be more understanding. We also had to ask for our bill 3 times before eventually it arrived. However, because we like supporting smaller local businesses, this will not put us off, but I always prefer to give honest feedback.

    The fish was very well prepared, and the entrée included the salad, which was a nice, but rare touch. The cheesecake dessert was light, and served in a cup, which is a first for me, but wonderful. The one by the glass was very good and affordable.

    We spent a wonderful time on this restaurant. Exceptionally tasty dishes served by a friendly staff, enhancing our overall enjoyment. We enjoyed the grilled octopus, squid and shrimp skewer, portuguese-style grilled beef steak. I recommend this restaurant without any doubt!

    Always a friendly atmosphere here, a small restaurant with great staff and good fish dishes….although I expected fresh calamari in tempura-style rather than a thick batter, and (through a misunderstanding) my dish was missed so I had to wait whilst watching the others eat!! Anyway, it won’t stop me going back!

    Small tasca slightly off the beaten path. We were treated well. Mussels appetizer, swordfish and octopus were all competently prepared in the Portuguese style.

    Homemade and super tasty food. The restaurant is not touristy which is great as it feels a nice local place, not too crowded. The service is great, the waiter was kind and attentive.

    I am conflicted writing this review as I love the food here but I dont want it to get too popular! The tuna was fabulous as was the espetada. I had the milk pudding- also fab and had a couple of nibbles of the delicious cheesecake. We'll definitely be back.

    Fish was fresh and salads were good as well. They were able to seat us on time and table by the window. The place is small, but with tables outside it was sometimes tough to get waiters attention. Overall nice evening.

    Small and quaint space. Too many tables which makes very hard to move between tables. Service was friendly however there was a big language barrier. None of the staff was Portuguese the staff speaks very little English making it hard to pass the message. Food was tasty with a gourmet vibe. Owners should give Portuguese lessons to staff.
