I must say, this place has pretty good selections of pastries and food on offer. Service is pretty good but of course, the flavours and quality of the good could be improved a tad bit. (Espetada was a bit too tough and the calamari was a bit tasteless). Needles to say, the chicken and the soup was pretty good.
Great food, great vibe, great value
I always consistently have a great meal at this hidden gem in Johannesburg.
The bakery churns out amazing confectionary too
Overall, I was very impressed with this restaurant. The waitress was really friendly, we received our food in good time and it was delicious. The chorizo starter portion was very tasty. My brother had the chicken schnitzel and he said the chicken was fresh and delicious. The chicken prego roll is one of the best that I have ever had. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone that loves Portuguese food.
My favourite Portuguese pastry place! There is the most amazing range of delicious pastries and cakes to suit every taste bud.
If you're sitting down to eat, like many of the Portuguese locals, don't expect snappy service - it's laid back at best, and painfully slow at worst. The food is fabulous, with great prego rolls and value for money breakfasts.
Definitely worth a sit-down stop if you're in the area - or stop off for a pastry to take away, like I did today.
Unreal Food ( Trinchado ) and Atmosphere in Old School Jozi! !....Very Authentic Portuguese Restraunt looking out on Queen Street! ...Be back 4surrrrrrre!
Great weekend breakfast spot, just get there early though as the place gets totally full. The bakery downstairs has excellent Portuguese breads, deserts, and loads of other tasty things to try!

I live just up the road from Princesa. As a result, I eat there at least once a week on average. There's a reason for that. The food is very homely, generous, and simply delicious. The prices are reasonable too.
Being Portuguese, I'd like to think I'm extra critical of this particular cuisine. I...
Every star there is for their pastel de nata. Amazing stuff. One of the few confectionaries where baked goods are realistically priced. One of these days shall sit down for a coffee.
In the area, so there is only one place to go for a genuine Portuguese experience.
I sat with my friend on the balcony while it was pouring with rain, but we were totally protected, the restaurant inside was packed, and this was at 14:30 on a Wednesday afternoon (speaks volumes)
My friend ordered a less traditional meal....a chicken salad, and by the looks of it, he had what seemed to be a half a chicken in there, so you definitely won't go hungry.
I opted for the medium rare Portuguese steak with all the trimmings
The steak was presented exactly as I ordered it and the ham and egg were perfect compliments, my chips were not the traditional wedge type and resembled the slim cut French fry, However they were in the traditional yummy gravy do they are forgiven.
All in all, when in Kensington and you want to experience the real deal Portuguese food, then you need to stop in here.
Finally visited HQ Princesca to taste their natas and other savoury delights. They don't dissapoint. Parking is limited as queen Street is busy.
Wow what a pleasant surprise. Loved this restaurant for a lazy lunch with family. Great food!
Tasty, authentic no-frills Portuguese food. I tried the calamari and my friend the schnitzel, both were solid. The best pasteis de nata I've had among a nice assortment of baked goods.
I went there for a business lunch and everyone's food was outstanding. I have been back to the bakery several times. They make the best chocolate cake ever. And the Porrugese custard tarts have to be tasted to be believed. Plus imported cheeses etc. If you ever want to surprse your wife, take hone some Pasteis de nata. You will get brownie points for the rest of rhe week.
Nice natal Portughish milk tart.
Wonderful coffee all the time.
They have giant turos.
Staff Rebbeca is very kind and helpful.
Visited for the 1st time and had the Natas...didn't disappoint, unlike other places the Natas didn't have a smell of egg which so much turns off with every bite. The crust was perfect crisp.
Good work.
My favourite Portuguese restaurant/bakery
Best of everything, the fresh crispy bread with the amazingly delicious pastel de nata.
I mean I can go on and on about this place but it’s the best Portuguese padaria, especially considering the neighbourhood it’s located in. They are doing a great job 👏🏽
Very clean, Covid-19 friendly, good portaguese food, big portions and fast service, highly recommended, also check out their deli!
The food is great
Portuguese style
Atmosphere is just wonderful
Lovely and relaxing environment, delicious food 😋
