Great food and fast service. Would recommend the Joe Special as a main meal. Also try the super bock beer, they import it from Portugal and its on tap. Well worth it. Be sure to make a reservation (even in the week) as it gets quite busy.

We started off with a waitress. But after the food came she was serving behind the bar. The other waitresses were not interested in us. I had to keep on trying to get attention 😒I came specifically for eisbein but none was available 😒

Not sure why it took over a decade to try this place but the charcoal grilled Peri-Peri half chicken was fantastic. Loved the heat - even ordered extra Peri- Peri sauce for my chips. They have cold Erdinger beers to wash it down too. Simple rustic vibe. Feels like a spot in Mozambique. Will be back.

Review №35

This was the perfect spot for Fathers day. My first time, but will definitely be back. Cosy atmosphere, all the different sports on the TVs, and the food was really good! We sampled everything, from the lamb shank in the richest jus, the juicy espatada grande, the spicy trinchado chicken, the tender calamari or the slow cooked ribs which just fell apart as you ate them. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Thank you!

I enjoyed my time at the Dias Tavern. The food was lovely, and the place super busy - yet the staff found the time to work with each table and to cater to everyones needs. They even found the time to make jokes and make us all feel welcome. Special thanks to Fresh who wen out of his way to be helpful and extra friendly :)
