I spent a lot of my childhood in Portuguese restaurants, although a very South African family, my dad is a little Portuguese in the head, so we only ate in Portuguese restaurants. It really is a cuisine I know well.
There is quite a large contingent of Portuguese and Mozambican people in the South of Johannesburg, as a result there are a few authentic places to get a meal that was cooked by 'mamma' in the kitchen- or at least it tastes like it.
My favourite place to get a good authentic meal is A Churrasqueira Restaurant which means ‘a variety of foods’ and this is exactly what is cooked up for many expats from Mozambique and Portugal. The owners Victor and Jackie are hands on and it is evident in the consistently good meals that come out of their kitchen. We often take friends there to introduce them to the place and we are always impressed with the quality of their food.
A Churrasqueira Restaurant can be found at 122 Main Street, Rosettenville and although it is in the old South, there are always friendly and effective car guards outside. It is recommended that you book, they can get really packed, especially on those special days. so... Call them on 0114354095
The food is delish and really well priced. Their 1/4 chicken and 10 prawns combo at R79 is one of our regular favourites.
Here are a snaps I took from our mothers day meal:
Well presented and yummy meals at great prices.
There is always a great vibe and good facilities for kiddies.
