Been going to the restaurant for many years now with work and on family occasions never had bad meal and service always on point.
Amazing food, ambience and incredible staff! Would def recommend the garlic mussel starter, absolutely devine
All round brilliant experience, perfect decor, excellent service and delicious food. The peri peri chicken hit the spot and will definitely visit them again ... Yummy Yum
This restaurant is definitely worth the drive! I understand why they are famous for their prawn fish cakes. We sat in the bar section of the restaurant and the prices are very much affordable. I was thoroughly stuffed afterwards!
Great place just to be yourself and enjoy whatever you order will be spot on give you a home away from home feeling the chicken or seafood espetada a must with one or more pora rolls
Authentic Portuguese restaurant in the Deep South of Joburg! Enjoyed the Delectable food beginning with Portuguese rolls, grilled prawns as well as Portuguese Mariana wine. Good ambience too!
I've seen some of the reviews for this restaurant, and most of the people review the seafood. I had the grilled baby chicken, let me say that there isn't many places in South Africa that can make chicken like this. If you want better you must go to Mozambique.
Bang for your buck as far as their seafood is concerned. I’m a big Lango fan and find their prices per unit amongst the best. Booze is also cheap so you have a satisfactory evening without breaking the bank. Very rustic so don’t expect a fine dining experience but the food delivers. Enjoy!
I’ve been dying to go for a long time and finally got a spot on Saturday before the rugby. Sadly I didn’t take any photos, because when the food arrived at the table we all tucked in. Such a relaxed restaurant, the food is delicious and the service is great. My favourite was definitely the chicken, cooked perfectly on the grill with lots of smokey flavours. All the food was delicious though (and I hardly ever say that). 6 happy bellies left and our pockets were full too. Well priced and good value for money!
This is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Johannesburg. It has such a cosy vibe and the ambience is always warm and comfortable. My favourite meals are the prawn cakes, the seafood kebab and the fillet trinchado. Unfortunately I have no photos to post because pictures are the last thing you think about when your delicious food arrives!!
A real jewel in the South the food is absolutely amazing. You have your bar on the one side where you can also tuck away and for the more sophisticated there is also more cozy quiet area however a get the impression if you walk in with a tie it will be taken off you and will be fixed to the roof with 100’s other ties. Go and indulge yourself amazing Portuguese food.
We went for our team year end function. Starters were salads and crab cakes, mains were (many) platters of prawns, chicken, and rump espetada with chips and rice. And rounded off with dessert - I had the chocolate mousse. The food was faultless - I’d go back tomorrow if it weren’t so far away, and the service is excellent. Only trouble is the parking and poor ventilation/heat inside.
Went for a year end lunch. Booked online which was super easy. I have been a few times to the one in the South, so been bragging to people in the office about it.
We shared a few of the starters like prawn cakes and oysters. Everyone raved about the prawn cakes. Really really good.
Mains were chicken, t- bone and trinchado. Everybody was super happy with their choices.
Service was great. Vibe still feels like the original.
All in all a great experience, no one left disappointed.
Thank you!
What a vibe!! Like going back in time. Details are mind blowing and the nata with the cream was just excellent! 🤌🏼
My all time Best 💎 historically Restaurant!!! Very Well Know 🍤 🍗 … Well done !!! 🤩 Great to book for functions and well know on Fridays for lunch ⏰ !!! A must book !!! Definitely well worth your time and experience 🤩
Excellent fresh food. Quick efficient service. Prawns, half chicken and starter platter with 2 prawn cakes were amazing. Ordered 4 kings got 2 kings and 2 small prawns. Waiter quickly sorted it with the kitchen and was charged accordingly. Overall gem. Real food that is very affordable.
Situated in a dodgy location, albeit there are car guards, so you feel a sense of security. It's sort of like a hidden gem, so to say.
There is just one veg & vegan item [a mixed veg & rice platter], on the menu, which our daughter & I shared. There is no vegan dessert, which is disappointing. Our daughter enjoyed her chocolate mousse. Husbae enjoyed his lobster & our son thought that his prince prawns were rather bland, albeit cooked well, & the spicy prawns were excellent. He enjoyed them. Our bro-in-law & my sister enjoyed their prawns, chicken & fish dishes. I am hoping to see more vegetarian & vegan items on the menu.
Awesome food. A first for me and last before they move to Melrose. Keep it up guys, thank you for the great reception
This was a really cute little place. I loved the decorations!!
The Portuguese really do know how to cook. The food was delicious!!
I highly recommend this place if you want a lekker plate of prawns!
Note: Parreirinha is moving to Melrose Arch soon!
I've been visiting Parrerinha since the early 1990's and the food and service has always been superb, I just hope that when they move to Melrose Arch that they can keep the same atmosphere and awesome food.
Great value for money, waiters could be more educated. Classic Portuguese dishes, full of flavor. Not kid friendly, no one came to check on us but we were given a friendly departure. Overall great experience..
We took clients for lunch today and had the most delicious food reasonably priced with good service. Such a stunning afternoon. Congratulations on your new premises.
