Swan_Vesta Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 You should try the Nandos on West St. It's run and staffed by a diverse mixture of folk and I think one of them is actually Portuguese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_Ashcroft Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Does anyone know any Portuguese restaurants in Sheffield? From what I recall, real Portuguese food is all about fresh Mediterranean/Atlantic fish and seafood (plus lots of random eggs on everything). Not the kind of thing that translates too well to high longitude, landlocked, Sheffield perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Savage Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Aren't the people who run The Meditarranean on Sharrow Vale Rd portugese? They may have some portugese items on the menu :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pink fairy Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I would love to find a propper tradtional Portuguese restaurant. I would not class nandos as one. I only been to rural Portugal and food is very tradtional. They do a soup i think it cabbage but really tasty. That the big thing about Portuguese food is simple but taste homely and is fresh. Even fast food you have veg or salad or meals are well balanced. Yes they do serve boil eggs with meal. In rural Portugal is quite poor but the thing they have lots of is chickens as most people own chickens and most people grow there own veg. There is no big supermarkets unless you go to a big town so people make dinner from what they grow , own and bartter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreF Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Maybe reviving a bit of an old thread but... I want to know where to find one too! I miss home! specially the food... Anyway... about nandos... lol. I'll just say this. Fernando (Nando) the guy who started that great business is half portuguese half southafrican and a very clever business man. The food however is overpriced and, as the restaurant and symbols, it is sold as genuine and it is very far from it. There is alot to be discovered from portuguese cuisine and culture, but little to be found in Nando's, eheh. Anyway, I still go there sometimes, cos it is not so bad, but it is definetly different from the real thing. If anyone discovered a portuguese restaurant let us know =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julado Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I love Nando's - overprice n'all. HOWEVER.....I too would love to find an authentic Portuguese restaurant.....for indeed the same thing I have in Nando's.....piri piri chicken. I holidayed in Portugal back in the early 1990's.....and didn't want to eat at the usual tourist traps so asked a local where they would go to eat and we went there on the recommendation. It was way out of town on a little road and to be honest it looked like a public toilet block....with little windows way up high on the single storey building. It was plainish....no fancy sign or lighting. I went in...basic decor.....but....the food was amazing. Piri piri chicken....which was a small chicken spatchcocked all washed down with lashings of green wine. Happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
