😠 We tried to take a traditional swiss fondue and it was a disaster. The bread was stale and the chess was of bad quality. Furthermore the service was very poor, the waiters were arrogant when we asked them questions about the menu. And on top of that they tried to make us pay 5 CHF each for tap water...

    We tried to take a traditional swiss fondue and it was a disaster. The bread was stale and the chess was of bad quality. Furthermore the service was very poor, the waiters were arrogant when we asked them questions about the menu. And on top of that they tried to make us pay 5 CHF each for tap water ! The only positive point is that perhaps it is situated in a popular location. But I would definitely not recommend it, there are plenty of other restaurants nearby.

    Were waiting over one hour for our pizzas, after they forgot us first, the chef - instead of an excuse - was absolutly unkind and offensiv. A shame for the actually good taste of the pizza but these comments of this guy was absolutly a no-go! the other service was alright.

    Good Portuguese restaurant. The pizzas cost 13.- on Wednesdays and Sundays and are delicious

    I went there thinking of eating something really typical from Portugal. That was not what I got. At all! I ordered a francezinha that was full of bread. It seemed that they ran out of meat to make the dish. Also, the sauce was like eating a spoon of salt and if you ignore the extremely salty taste, the sauce was bad...Fries were terrible, some even raw inside. The only thing that was good was the beer. I would not recommend this place to anyone. It doesn't represent at all portuguese cuisine.

    I would say that this place is ok for a cup of wine in the afternoon but I don't recommend to eat there. We had a Salade de chèvre chaud and had to sort the good leaves and the bread was tasteless. The rest was ok. Service quite poor.

    Nice pizza. Service is slow and there is no English menu so you have to bring up your hiding French language skills.

    Such a good place, I went there with some friends and they make sure you feel comfortable and most important at home. Food is really worth it to try, specially for the prices. It's a good price/quality place where some of them could even surprise you.

👍 I’ve visit this place a couple of times and I’ve enjoyed each one of it. I always choose the same burger though. 7/10. The employees could smile a bit more maybe? I know it’s a hard job but well… smiling is free! I’ll be back 😌
