We have been going to Lusitano since long before the new owner took over. I am very impressed with the way the restaurant has been renovated. The food is always good, their steaks, espetada, and seafood, and the owner's friendliness really makes for a good overall experience. The only negative is the owner's husband. The last time we were there he arrived in a mood, proceeded to shout at the staff, and thereafter took off at my son and his friends playing pool in the bar (my kids have been playing pool there since they were tiny, and really did not know there would be a problem) What a prick!!! If you have a problem with my child, you need to speak to me and DON'T walk up to an unsuspecting teenager and stick your finger in his face and proceed to yell at him. This has caused my husband and his friend (who have been patrons for over 30 years) to refuse to set foot there ever again. If you want to serve the public, it's not only the food that matters, it is the way you treat people. I suggest that the owner teach the man some manners, or leave him at home.
Delicious meals, 5 of us each had something different and no one was disappointed. Excellent value for money and friendly staff, would definitely recommend for an authentic Portuguese meal!
Incredible prawns! One of the best I've had!!! The giblets starter could have been a little spicier, we're used to spicy chicken giblets. On a whole great food for decent prices! We'll be back!

We have become regulars at this quant little Portuguese restaurant ... Service is good and the owner always does her rounds making sure all her patrons are happy ... Best peri-peri baby chicken!!
I couldn't ask for more. The starter was amazingly good. For main I had this portuguese chicken, the baby chicken. It was soooo good. Left me wanting more. They have big portions so you can be sure to leave the restaurant full. It is definitely a must try.
Been twice now in the last two weeks, as good as Portuguese food gets, and great value for money !. Peri peri chicken, the best I've tasted, big portions and great quality.
Well worth a visit to this little gem
WOW !! What a surprise!! Firstly the starters were fantastic tripe starter 10/10 and giblets 10/10.Calamari 9/10 and chorizo 9/10.
Main meal I had a chicken peri peri maputo style ! What can I say I was blown away soft juicy and not over spiced and nicely charred.
Victor my Portuguese friend had Bacalhau fish nice big piece and soft and not salty his comment was he would definitely have it again!
Not the best area but the restaurant is renovated and clean.
Worth the visit 100%
Absolutely brilliant food! The quality is superb. It's not in a great area but more often then not, worthwhile things require a little extra effort.
It's the best Portuguese food I've found.
Amazing traditional Portuguese food friendly and efficient staff, the owners are hands on so service is excellent. Great vibe can enjoy a football match, Shoot some pool play some cards or just enjoy the atmosphere will always go to this Gem of the South a must for anyone who enjoys GREAT food at very reasonably priced!!!! Thank you Lusitano for being the BEST PORTUGUESE RESTAURANT in the south.
That's a great place to go and eat relax everything is good there and I enjoy my time there always
One of the best chickens I've ever had! They had a fantastic special, R79 for Full Chicken and draught beer. Even the normal price (R89) for a Full Chicken is still really good value for money. Most places you won't even get a Half Chicken for that price.
Excellent food, awsome ambiance, true Portuguese restaurant. Eliza gave excellent service. Love the specials . Chocolate mousse stood a little long in the fridge though, not as fresh. Will def be back.

The food was great and they also offered Non-alcoholic beer which quenched the thirst for the real ting. The pric3 we're so friendly that we up spending lunch & dinner time there !
If you want to eat very good Portuguese food, don’t hesitate. One everyday restaurant, not expensive and with typical plates of the Portuguese culinary. You will start with soap, salad and main dish.
