Grelha D'Ouro

We decided to do a Portugese weekend, and ended up at Grelha D'ouro. Initially there was a lot of uncertainty as to where to sit, because we didn't realise the restaurant was at the back of the cafe. The waitress was very nice, and she was honest to recommend some dishes that we weren't sure of (she offered to change the channel on the tv from soccer to something else, but we were not too bothered!) We ordered the pork schnitzels, steak on a stone and mixed grilled fish. The portions were large, and we had a blast. It was a very unpretentious restaurant, and the food was good.

A family group of 5 of us went to Grelha D'Ouro for lunch a few Saturdays ago. The cafe part out front was busy, but we were the only diners in the restaurant. Lovely bread and olives came to the table very quickly. We enjoyed most of the starters and mains, in particular the king prawns, Parma ham and melon, steak on a stone (the house speciality - but be prepared to wait for the stone to heat up!) and chilli squid. I had the squid, which was beautifully cooked and not even slightly rubbery. The vegetable sides were a little unimagniative, but portions were huge. Unfortunately, we were in a rush, so the leisurely (but very friendly) service meant we had no time for dessert, but we will definitely be returning.
