Its like yer back home and Mum is taking care of you and Gramma is buzzing around the kitchen, cooking up Sunday dinner. Nice atmosphere, lovely food and service.
I can't say enough good things about this place. The food is EXCELLENT and all home-made. Their fries are especially delicious. They have a long list of wines, cute decor, and a great wait staff. It's a family run business so it's a great place for families as well. I'd give it more stars if I could.
I enjoyed my paella, it was flavourful and we'll portioned. The waitress was friendly and helpful. It was a nice atmosphere and seemed like a family run business. My friend had the Calamari and could it it a bit bland.
Amazing food and lovely atmosphere. Very authentic portuguese cuisine. I would definitely go back anytime!
Perla is a little gem. Tremendous, well priced food and our server gave great answers to our many question. This is a multi-generational family run restaurant - a pleasure to eat there and so happy to support small, local business. We even bought some of their home made sausage to enjoy on Christmas!
This is a family run, authentic Northern Portuguese Restaurant on Carlton.The food is like home cooked and really good quality. They seem to know the finer points of Portuguese cuisine. Silvia, who runs the place is a real caring and patient person and works real hard to make everyone welcomed, comfortable and served without long waits. Her recommendations are perfect. Our Starters were the grilled sardines and the calamari. Very fresh and cooked to perfection. They also serve you their house speciality pate with pieces of bread. We then tried the traditional cod fish which is served with potatoes and steamed veggies. The cured pork with clams and potatoes was to die for. The steaks served with fries were good, but remember that they are home style. So don't expect a Keg style steak.Was surprised that homely places like this one, survived the pandemic lock downs. We must patronize and keep alive such family run restaurants which believe in treating all their patrons like family and for dishing out good food for a reasonable price.
Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. I had the monkfish rice stew special. Very welcoming and chill place, worth checking out.
Fantastic family run Portuguese restaurant with the most charming back patio. The seafood paella was very tasty and full of fresh ingredients. Finished off with a great espresso! Highly recommended.
Loved it ! The food was sooo good and the waitress was adorable and really kind. I had the seafood rice and I would recommend it to all !! Their little backyard terrasse was beautiful too ! Felt homey ?
Authentic Portuguese seafood dishes. Service was excellent. We went with the recommended soup and dishes which were all delicious.
