For dinner at least there's a limited food selection from a mini hot table. There was no vegetable option. The half chicken set with rice & potatoes was $16. The chicken was pretty tasty & well cooked & moist except for the breast which was a bit dry. The rice was decent though a few grains were slightly dry. The potatoes were tastier than average but the texture of some was a bit mushy. The hot sauce was pretty spicy.

This Portuguese restaurant is so-so - 2.5 stars. The staff aren't great with English, as virtually…read moreall of their clientele seem to be Portuguese-speaking. Besides bread you get black & green olives to snack on. Surf and turf came with steak, 1 large prawn (given its size, it wasn't shrimp) & clams. The sauce for all 3 was a rather unusual spice blend that was pretty tasty & the prawn was pretty fresh. The chips the dish came with were greasy & not crispy though. Minho style codfish is fried. We had the grilled codfish. It was huge. It was so-so, though on the firm side & it was very hard the next day. Their desserts are cheap. The pudding is home made, but custard from heaven isn't. The pudding was dense & eggy, but had a very strong burnt, bitter taste, especially the bottom, which was black. The server said it was due to lemon zest, but it seems someone put way too much.

The restaurant is now owned by new owners. The newer great reviews on Google are most likely FAKE…read more These are not customers who've appreciated this restaurant before the recent transition. What frustrates me is that businesses will go out of there way to post inaccurate reviews, for the benefit of themselves. Last time I was here I did not get what I expected. The meat was incredibly dry and over cooked. The potatoes were undercooked and bland. The rice seemed dry. Do yourself a favour. Coming from a Portuguese background, do NOT come here if you are expecting something authentic or even just good.

A Taste of Europe has a pretty extensive menu that is affordable. The space is small but very much feels like home - it's cute and warm. We were greeted by two sweet ladies who were very welcoming. We opted to try their banquet burger, pasta with rose sauce and bifani plate (a traditional Portuguese staple). Portions were excellent - they definitely do not cheap out on their meat and carbs. All three dishes were delicious and filling! I can't wait to come back and try more things on their menu.

I was craving for the shrimp patties and the only good ones were usually downtown. I found Galina's Bbq via Yelp, so I knew I had to get some to try. I got the whole chicken dinner and I was AMAZED at the portions! For under $50, they legit packed the rice and potatoes to the top! Everything was super tasty but the shrimp patties could had been better if I reheated it in the oven. The chicken was super moist and the potatoes were so delicious. The rice was a bit too salty though. Service was great; the waitress told me her aunt opened this restaurant more than 10 years ago. The restaurant was clean and spacious, but definitely not super big. I would definitely come back for more!!

We arrived for a late lunch on a Sunday, the dining area was empty so we got to pick of tables. We ordered two appetizers, three entrees and a drink. The meal started out well, with some bread, butter and preserved olives. It was lovely to have something to nibble on while waiting. 30 min later, the appetizer of chirizo sausage arrived. It was set alight table side, and we enjoyed the crispy hot sausage. Unfortunately, it took another 30min for our entrees to arrive. My chicken dinner was not even warm, the veggies were overcooked and cold. The only thing hot on my plate was the potatoes, which were delicious. After such a long wait, it was disappointing to be served cold food. Also, our second appetizer never came and we had to remind the waiter not to bill us for it.
