This is our go to around the corner resturant. We always have the peri-peri chicken and the prawns. They make thier peri peri in house and it is amazing. I have yet to taste better peri peri sauce in johannesburg. Portions are generous and food is fresh. Sitting outside is much better as inside feels quite dark and dingy.
JP runs a tight ship... And it's evident in the way the staff welcome their customers and serve with a hop in their step. Friday's lunch with a Espetada on the fire and a smell of lamb in the air ends a week of in style. If you love a salty Espetada cooked right with a Castle lite draft, then...
Asked Zomato for a Portugese restaurant in Jhb and happy with the recommendation. Informal and relaxed setting. Limited choice of wine and pricy. The food however was very good! Tasty and liberal helpings. Pure Porra cuisine :)

Excellent value for money R120 all you can eat Espatada. Driving to Cescos Kelvin for the 1st time in my life, I must say I was a little wary about the area it is located in, but once I arrived it felt warm and inviting. The Espatada is done outside on the grill and you can help yourself to salad/rolls and potato wedges. The pork neck Espatada was my favourite and I was pleasantly surprised that it had been smokes to give the sweet gammon flavour. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. I will definitely recommend Cescos Kelvin.
Been to Cesco's on a number of occasions, they have great Portuguese flavoured "pub" food. I had the lamb shank which dropped off the bone, and melted in your mouth. On Sundays they have a live band, with both an inside and outside seating area.
Cesco's is also great for a couple of drinks, with big screens available for sport
Amazing spot for a quiet sunday lunch or a friendly vibrant friday lunch. Every Wednesday there is a quiz night and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Well managed, owned and always feels like a place you can let your hair down. Live music by Amy Alexander on a Sunday sets the mood that goes with the food. Beef trinchardo a MUST!
I frequented Cesco's with a few colleagues for a Friday lunch
The venue was traditionally Portuguese and they had freshly made espatada's coming off a coal fire ,we passed a few tables eating them and man they were huge!
As we were in a bit of a hurry we went for the Portuguese staple lunch time special of a prego roll
The prego roll,salad and fresh cut chip accompaniments were excellent and the hot as hell peri and a garlic type dipping sauces complimented the meal well.
There was a decent kids play area outside should you want to bring the kids along , Service and efficiency were spot on and i would definitely recommend them for a quick bite or long lunch.
I've been coming to this restaurant for years, the service on the whole I find is good and the food is excellent, I had my 21st here and it was a smashing success, I have recommended this restaurant to all my friends and my girlfriend loves it as well. If you want sizeable portions of great food, at great value for money, you won't be disappointed
I call this a two in one experience. If you love a bar experience and great food at the same time this is a place to be. Had a day out with my husband and we absolutely enjoyed the sea food
What a hidden gem! My new friend had been raving about it, so we went for a quick catch up session after work on a Monday. We had their chicken and prawns with chips, salad and veg. Their sauce is hot but delicious!! Morish! I bought the sauce to go and my other friend says she could bath in it!! Highest praise from an Indian who loves hot sauce! Can't wait to go back! There was enough left over for lunch the next day
This is still one of those real bar experiences! The steak was great will be back to try more! The atmosphere is what it is all about and that it has a lot!
