“We eat, we drink, then all else comes later”

From a family with a natural gift and passion for cooking food, the idea was born to open a REAL Portuguese restaurant. Authentic,

simple recipes, that have been passed down from mothers to daughters and cherished in our family, prepared and enjoyed by us over festive, memorable Sunday lunches over several generations.

Tia Maria bringing wholesome homemade Portuguese food from her kitchen to your plate.

PortuGalo has been created by bringing across these REAL traditional Portuguese dishes, at the same time reinventing the old traditional interiors and creating an old vintage, yet modern looking

environment with REAL Portuguese cuisine.

Our open flame coal fire grilling brings out the unique natural flavors of our meals.
